Boundary Control of A Bernoulli Free Boundary Problem

Henry Kasumba, John Mango Magero

Abstract



We present a boundary optimal control approach for a Bernoulli free boundary problem. Our control objective consists in tracking a free boundary to an a priori given desired one. An appropriate cost functional is chosen for this purpose and its gradient is analytically derived. The resulting optimality conditions are discretized and the minimization problem is solved numerically by a steepest descent method. Numerical simulations show that the
proposed method is in agreement with known results.

Keywords


Optimal control, Bernoulli free boundary problem, Cost functional.

Disclaimer/Regarding indexing issue:

We have provided the online access of all issues and papers to the indexing agencies (as given on journal web site). It’s depend on indexing agencies when, how and what manner they can index or not. Hence, we like to inform that on the basis of earlier indexing, we can’t predict the today or future indexing policy of third party (i.e. indexing agencies) as they have right to discontinue any journal at any time without prior information to the journal. So, please neither sends any question nor expects any answer from us on the behalf of third party i.e. indexing agencies.Hence, we will not issue any certificate or letter for indexing issue. Our role is just to provide the online access to them. So we do properly this and one can visit indexing agencies website to get the authentic information. Also: DOI is paid service which provided by a third party. We never mentioned that we go for this for our any journal. However, journal have no objection if author go directly for this paid DOI service.
