文摘

The local well-posedness of the minimizer of an optimal control problem is studied in this paper. The optimization problem concerns an inverse problem of simultaneously reconstructing the initial temperature and heat radiative coefficient in a heat conduction equation. Being different from other ordinary optimization problems, the cost functional constructed in the paper is a binary functional which contains two independent variables and two independent regularization parameters. Particularly, since the status of the two unknown coefficients in the cost functional are different, the conjugate theory which is extensively used in single-parameter optimization problems cannot be applied for our problem. The necessary condition which must be satisfied by the minimizer is deduced. By assuming the terminal time T is relatively small, an L² estimate regarding the minimizer is obtained, from which the uniqueness and stability of the minimizer can be deduced immediately.
