Abstract

The aim of this paper is to study the constrained gradient controllability problem governed by parabolic evolution equations. The purpose is to find and compute the control u that steers the gradient state from an initial gradient one \(\nabla y_{_{0}}\) to a gradient vector supposed to be unknown between two defined levels \(\alpha (\cdot )\) and \(\beta (\cdot )\), only on a subregion \(\omega \) of the system evolution domain \(\varOmega \). The obtained results have been proved via two approaches: The first one is based on sub-differential techniques, while the second one is based on Lagrangian multipliers. An algorithm is given on the basis of Uzawa algorithm, and numerical results are established.
