In this paper, we study optimal control problems for parabolic hemivariational inequalities of dynamic elasticity and investigate the continuity of the solution mapping from the given initial value and control data to trajectories. We show the existence of an optimal control which minimizes the quadratic cost function and establish the necessary conditions of optimality of an optimal control for various observation cases.

The method proposed in this paper can improve the performance of the Boosting algorithm in machine learning. The proposed Boundary AdaBoost algorithm can make up for the weak points of Normal binary classifier using threshold boundary concepts. The new proposed boundary can be located near the threshold of the binary classifier. The proposed algorithm improves classification in areas where Normal binary classifier is weak. Thus, the optimal boundary final classifier can decrease error rates classified with more reasonable features. Finally, this paper derives the new algorithm's optimal solution, and it demonstrates how classifier accuracy can be improved using the proposed Boundary AdaBoost in a simulation experiment of pedestrian detection using 10-fold cross validation.

We deal with a boundary control problem for the vorticity minimization, in which the ow is governed by the time-dependent two dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. We derive a mathematical formulation and a process for an appropriate control along the portion of the boundary to minimize the vorticity motion due to the ow in the fluid domain. After showing the existence of an optimal solution, we derive the optimality system for which optimal solutions may be determined. The differentiability of the state solution in regard to the control parameter shall be conjunct with the necessary conditions for the optimal solutions.

By applying the Landau-type transformation, we transform a Stefan problem with nonlinear free boundary condition into a system consisting of a parabolic equation and the ordinary differential equations. Fully discrete finite element method is developed to approximate the solution of a system of a parabolic equation and the ordinary differential equations. We derive optimal orders of convergence of fully discrete approximations in $L_2,\;H^1$ and $H^2$ normed spaces.

A class of singular quadratic control problem is considered. The state is governed by a higher order system of ordinary linear differential equations and very general nonstandard boundary conditions. These conditions in many important cases reduce to standard boundary conditions and because of the conditions the usual controllability condition is not needed. In the special case where the coefficient matrix of the control variable in the cost functional is a time-independent singular matrix, the corresponding optimal control law as well as the optimal controller are computed. The method of investigation is based on the theory of least-squares solutions of multi-valued operator equations.

A shape optimization problem is formulated to determine the optimal position of heating lines in a compression molding die. The objective of the problem is that the cavity surface would be maintained by a prescribed uniform temperature. A boundary integral equation for the sensitivity of the temperature in terms of hole position is derived using the method of shape design sensitivity analysis. The boundary element method is employed to analyze the temperature and sensitivity field of the die. The sensitivity calculation algorithm is incorporated in an optimization routine. To demonstrate a numerical implementation, an example problem arising in thermal design of a compression molding die is dealt with, showing that the number of heating lines chosen for the die strongly affects the ultimate uniformity of the cavity surface temperature.

The crack propagation path can be considered as a boundary problem in which the crack advances towards the interior of the domain. Consequently, this poses an optimization problem wherein the local crack-growth direction angle can be treated as a design variable. The advantage of this approach is that the continuous minimization of strain energy naturally leads to the mode I propagation path. Furthermore, this procedure does not rely on the precise characterization of the stress field at the crack tip and is independent of stress intensity factors. This paper proposes an algorithm based on internal point exploration as well as shape sensitivity optimization and strain energy minimization to determine the crack propagation direction. To implement this methodology, the algorithm utilizes a modeling GUI associated with an academic analysis program based on the Dual Boundary Elements Method and determines the propagation path by exploiting the elastic strain energy at points in the domain that are candidates to be included in the boundary. The sensitivity of the optimal solution is also assessed in the vicinity of the optimum point, ensuring the stability and robustness of the solution. The results obtained demonstrate that the proposed methodology accurately predicts the crack propagation direction in Mode I opening for a single crack (lateral and central). Furthermore, robust optimal solutions were achieved in all cases, indicating that the optimal solution was not highly sensitive to changes in the design variable in the vicinity of the optimal point.

A general procedure for the numerical solution of coupled, nonlinear, differential two-point boundary-value problems, solutions of which are crucial to the controller design, has been developed and demonstrated. A fixed-end-points, free-terminal-time, optimal-control problem, which is derived from Pontryagin's Maximum Principle, is solved by an extension of Davidenko's method, a differential form of Newton's method, for algebraic root finding. By a discretization process like finite differences, the differential equations are converted to a nonlinear algebraic system. Davidenko's method reconverts this into a pseudo-time-dependent set of implicitly coupled ODEs suitable for solution by modern, high-performance solvers. Another important advantage of Davidenko's method related to the time-optimal problem is that the terminal time can be computed by treating this unkown as an additional variable and sup- plying the Hamiltonian at the terminal time as an additional equation. Davidenko's method uas used to produce optimal trajectories of a single-degree-of-freedom problem. This numerical method provides switching times for open-loop control, minimized terminal time and optimal input torque sequences. This numerical technique could easily be adapted to the multi-point boundary-value problems.

In the management of groundwater in coastal areas, saltwater intrusion associated with extensive groundwater pumping, is an important problem. The groundwater optimization model is an advanced method to study the aquifer and decide the optimal pumping rates or optimal well locations. Cheng and Park gave the analytical solutions to the optimization problems basing on Strack's analytical solution. However, the analytical solutions have some limitations of the property of aquifer, boundary conditions, and so on. A simulation-optimization numerical method presented in this study can deal with non-homogenous aquifers and various complex boundary conditions. This simulation-optimization model includes the sharp interface solution which solves the same governing equation with Strack's analytical solution, therefore, the freshwater head and saltwater thickness should be in the same conditions, that can lead to the comparable results in optimal pumping rates and optimal well locations for both of the solutions. It is noticed that the analytical solutions can only be applied on the infinite domain aquifer, while it is impossible to get a numerical model with infinite domain. To compare the numerical model with the analytical solutions, calculation of the equivalent boundary flux was planted into the numerical model so that the numerical model can have the same conditions in steady state with analytical solutions.
