  • Paper and pulp manufacturing industry produces versatile products from renewable feedstock that are easily recycled. It is the fourth largest industrial sector in terms of energy use. Much of the energy used comes from biomass derived fuels or high efficiency combined heat and power plants so the industry is not considered as carbon intensive. But at production paper making emits five times the CO2/tonne of steel; this is gradually removed from the atmosphere by the growth of replacement trees which can take between 7 and 90 years. This study reviewed existing literature to establish estimates for future energy requirements, and way that these could be met with minimum carbon emissions in a world where there are electricity grids with low carbon intensities, high recycling rates and growing demand for sustainable biomass. It was found that energy consumption could be reduced by 20% using technologies that have been demonstrated at an industrial scale. Most virgin pulp is made using the kraft chemical processing method. It was found that it should be possible to eliminate all fossil fuel use from this process, by combustion of by-product while exporting a small amount of electricity. Recycled paper is becoming the largest source of pulp. In this case the waste streams cannot provide sufficient energy to power the process, but process heat can be produced by burning some of the collected waste paper in steam plants or by using electric heat pumps. The energy needed to produce high quality office paper is nearly twice that required for non-deinked packaging paper. This couples with the lower pulp yields obtained with high quality pulp means that the environmentally preferred option for energy supply to the recycling process is dependent on the grade of pulp being produced.

    The main goal of this paper is to study one class of optimal control problems (OCPs) for a viscous Boussinesq system arising in the study of the dynamics of cardiovascular networks. We consider the boundary control problem for a 1D system of coupled PDEs with the Robin-type boundary conditions, describing the dynamics of pressure and flow in the arterial segment. We discuss in this part of paper the existence of optimal solutions and provide a substantial analysis of the first-order optimality conditions. Namely, we deal with the following minimization problem:

    Minimize    J(g,h,η,u):=12ΩαΩ(u(T)uΩ)2 dx+ν2T0Ω(ηxx)2 dxdt+12T0|ΩαQ(η(t)+r0uxt(t)ηQ) dx|2 dt+12T0(βg|g|2+βh|h|2) dt (1)

    subject to the constraints

    {ηt+ηxu+ηux+12r0uxνηxx=0     in  Q,[u(δux)x]t+12(u2)x+μηx=f    in  Q, (2)
    {η(0,)=η0    in  Ω,u(0,)(δ()ux(0,))x=u0    in  Ω, (3)
    {η(,0)=η(,L)=η      in  (0,T),δ(0)˙ux(,0)+σ0u(,0)=g,  in  (0,T),δ(L)˙ux(,L)+σ1u(,L)=h,      in  (0,T),δ(L)ux(0,L)=δ(0)ux(0,0)=0 (4)

    and

    (g,h)Gad×HadL2(0,T)×L2(0,T). (5)

    Here, βg, βh, and η are positive constants, and Gad and Had are the sets of admissible boundary controls. These sets and the rest of notations will be specified in the next section.

    Optimal control problem (1)-(5) comes from the fluid dynamic models of blood flows in arterial systems. It is well known that the cardiovascular system consists of a pump that propels a viscous liquid (the blood) through a network of flexible tubes. The heart is one key component in the complex control mechanism of maintaining pressure in the vascular system. The aorta is the main artery originating from the left ventricle and then bifurcates to other arteries, and it is identified by several segments (ascending, thoracic, abdominal). The functionality of the aorta, considered as a single segment, is worth exploring from a modeling perspective, in particular in relationship to the presence of the aortic valve.

    In the first part of our investigation (see [5]) we make use of the standard viscous hyperbolic system (see [2,21]) which models cross-section area S(x,t) and average velocity u(x,t) in the spatial domain:

    St+(Su)xν2Sx2=0, (6)
    ut+uux+1ρPx=f, (7)

    where (t,x)Q=(0,L)×(0,T), f=f(x,t) is a friction force, usually taken to be f=22μπu/S, μ is the fluid viscosity, P(x,t) is the hydrodynamic pressure, L is the length of an arterial segment, and T=Tpulse=60/(HartRate) is the duration of an entire heartbeat. Here we include the inertial effects of the wall motion, described by the wall displacement η=η(x,t):

    η=rr0=1π(SS0)SS02πS0, (8)

    where r(x,t) is the radius, r0=r(x,0), S0=S(x,0).

    The fluid structure interaction is modeled using inertial forces, which gives the pressure law

    P=Pext+βr20η+ρωh2ηt2. (9)

    Here, Pext is the external pressure, β=E1σ2h, σ is the Poisson ratio (usually σ2=12), E is Young modulus, h is the wall thickness, m=ρωh2πS0, ρω is the density of the wall.

    This leads to the following Boussinesq system:

    {ηt+ηxu+ηux+12r0uxνηxx=0,ut+uux+2Ehρr20ηx+ρωhρηxtt=f,

    where ρ is the blood density. Considering the relation ηt=12r0ux and rearranging terms in u we get the system in the form (2)-(3). It remains to furnish the system by corresponding initial and boundary conditions which we propose to take in the form (3)-(4).

    As for the OCP that is related with the arterial system, we are interested in finding the optimal heart rate (HR) which leads to the minimization of the following cost functional

    J=t0+Tpulset0|Pavg(t)Pref|2dt=t0+Tpulset0|1LL0P(x,t)dxPref|2dt. (10)

    The systolic period is taken to be consistently one quarter of Tpulse, and Pref=100 mmHg.

    It is easy to note that relations (8)-(9) lead to the following representation for the cost functional (10)

    J=t0+Tpulset0|1LL0P(x,t)dxPref|2dt=1L2t0+Tpulset0|L0(Pext(t)+2Ehr20η(t,x)+ρωhηtt(t,x)LPref)dx|2dt. (11)

    Since ηt12r0ux (see [3]) and we suppose that νηxx should be small enough, it easily follows from (11) that the given cost functional (10) can be reduced to the tracking type (1).

    The research in the field of the cardiovascular system is very active (see, for instance the literature describing the dynamics of the vascular network coupled with a heart model, [2,9,10,12,15,16,17,18,19,20,21]). However, there seems to be no studies that focus on both aspects at the same time: a detailed description of the four chambers of the heart and on the spatial dynamics in the aorta. Some numerical aspects of optimizing the dynamics of the pressure and flow in the aorta as well as the heart rate variability, taking into account the elasticity of the aorta together with an aortic valve model at the inflow and a peripheral resistance model at the outflow, based on the discontinuous Galerkin method and a two-step time integration scheme of Adam-Bashfort, were recently treated in [3] for the Boussinesq system like (2). More broadly, theory and applications of optimization and control in spatial networks, basing on the different types of conservation laws have been extensively developed in literature, have been successfully applied to telecommunications, transportation or supply networks ([6,7]).

    From mathematical point of view, the characteristic feature of the Boussinesq system (2) is the fact that it involves a pseudo-parabolic operator with unbounded coefficient in its principle part. In the first part of this paper it was shown that for any pair of boundary controls gGad and hHad, and for given fL(0,T;L2(Ω)), μL(0,T;L2(Ω)), σ0L(0,T), σ1L(0,T), u0Vδ, η0H10(Ω), r0H1(Ω), and δL1(Ω), the set of feasible solutions to optimal control problem (1)-(5) is non-empty and the corresponding weak solution (η(t),u(t)) of the viscous Boussinesq system (2)-(4) possesses the extra regularity properties ηxx,uxtL2(0,T;L2(Ω)), which play a crucial role in the proof of solvability of OCP (1)-(5). In this paper we deal with the existence of optimal solutions and derive the corresponding optimality conditions for the problem (1)-(5). It should be mentioned, that application of Lagrange principle requires even higher smoothness of solutions to the initial Boussinesq system (2)-(4). In order to avoid such limitations, we deal with a simplified version of the initial optimal control problem (2)-(4) (see (39), argumentation above and [3,5] for physical description of the considered model). Also, in the second part of the paper, in order to provide the thorough substantiation of the first-order optimality conditions to the considered OCP, we make the special assumption for δ to be an element of the class H1(Ω). Since the coefficient δ depends on such indicators as wall thickness, density of the wall and blood density, i.e. indicators varying slowly and smoothly, such assumption seems justified.

    Let T>0 and L>0 be given values. We set Ω=(0,L), Q=(0,T)×Ω, and Σ=(0,T)×Ω. Let δH1(Ω) be a given function such that δ(x)δ0>0 for a.e. xΩ. We use the standard notion L2(Ω,δdx) for the set of measurable functions u on Ω such that

    uL2(Ω,δ dx)=(Ωu2δ dx)1/2<+.

    We set H=L2(Ω), V0=H10(Ω), V=H1(Ω), and identify the Hilbert space H with its dual H. On H we use the common natural inner product (,)H, and endow the Hilbert spaces V0 and V with the inner products

    (φ,ψ)V0=(φ,ψ)H φ,ψV0

    and

    (φ,ψ)V=(φ,ψ)H+(φ,ψ)H φ,ψV,

    respectively.

    We also make use of the weighted Sobolev space Vδ as the set of functions uV for which the norm

    uVδ=(Ω(u2+δ(u)2)dx)1/2

    is finite. Note that due to the following estimate, Vδ is complete with respect to the norm V,δ:

    u2V:=Ω(u2+(u)2)dxmax{1,δ10}Ω(u2+δ(u)2)dx=max{1,δ10}u2Vδ. (12)

    Recall that V0, V, and, hence, Vδ are continuously embedded into C(¯Ω), see [1,14] for instance. Since δ,δ1L1(Ω), it follows that Vδ is a uniformly convex separable Banach space [14]. Moreover, in view of the estimate (12), the embedding VδH is continuous and dense. Hence, H=H is densely and continuously embedded in Vδ, and, therefore, VδHVδ is a Hilbert triplet (see [11] for the details).

    Let us recall some well-known inequalities, that will be useful in the sequel (see [5]).

    uL(Ω)2max{L,L1}uV, uV and uL(Ω)2LuV0, uV0.

    ● (Friedrich's Inequality) For any uV0, we have

    uHLuxH=LuV0. (13)

    By L2(0,T;V0) we denote the space of measurable abstract functions (equivalence classes) u:[0,T]V such that

    uL2(0,T;V0):=(T0u(t)2V0dt)1/2<+.

    By analogy we can define the spaces L2(0,T;Vδ), L(0,T;H), L(0,T;Vδ), and C([0,T];H) (for the details, we refer to [8]). In what follows, when t is fixed, the expression u(t) stands for the function u(t,) considered as a function in Ω with values into a suitable functional space. When we adopt this convention, we write u(t) instead of u(t,x) and ˙u instead of ut for the weak derivative of u in the sense of distribution

    T0φ(t)˙u(t),vV;Vdt=T0˙φ(t)u(t),vV;Vdt,    vV,

    where ,V;V denotes the pairing between V and V.

    We also make use of the following Hilbert spaces

    W0(0,T)={uL2(0,T;V0): ˙uL2(0,T;V0)},Wδ(0,T)={uL2(0,T;Vδ): ˙uL2(0,T;Vδ)},

    supplied with their common inner product, see [8,p. 473], for instance.

    Remark 1. The following result is fundamental (see [8]): Let (V,H,V) be a Hilbert triplet, VHV, with V separable, and let uL2(0,T;V) and ˙uL2(0,T;V). Then

    (ⅰ) uC([0,T];H) and CE>0 such that

    max1tTu(t)HCE(uL2(0,T;V)+˙uL2(0,T;V));

    (ⅱ) if vL2(0,T;V) and ˙vL2(0,T;V), then the following integration by parts formula holds:

    ts(˙u(γ),v(γ)V;V+u(γ),˙v(γ)V;V)dγ=(u(t),v(t))H(u(s),v(s))H (14)

    for all s,t[0,T].

    The similar assertions are valid for the Hilbert triplet VδHVδ.

    Let ν>0 be a viscosity parameter, and let

    fL(0,T;H),  μL(0,T;V),  σ0L(0,T),  σ1L(0,T), (15)
    αΩL(Ω),  αQL(Q),  uΩL2(Ω),  ηQL2(0,T;H), (16)
    u0Vδ,  η0H10(Ω),  r0H1(Ω), (17)

    be given distributions. In particular, f stands for a fixed forcing term, uΩ and ηQ are given desired states for the wall displacement and average velocity, respectively, αΩ and αQ are non-negative weights (without loss of generality we suppose that αQ is a nonnegative constant function on [0,T]×[0,L]), u0 and η0 are given initial states, and δ is a singular (possibly locally unbounded) weight function such that δ(x)δ0>0 for a.e. xΩ.

    We assume that the sets of admissible boundary controls Gad and Had are given as follows

    Gad={gL2(0,T):  g0gg1  a.e.  in (0,T)},Had={hL2(0,T):  h0hh1  a.e. in (0,T)}, (18)

    where g0,h0,g1,h1L(0,T) with g0(t)g1(t) and h0(t)h1(t) almost everywhere in (0,T).

    The optimal control problem we consider in this paper is to minimize the discrepancy between the given distributions (uΩ,ηQ)L2(Ω)×L2(Q) and the pair of distributions (u(T),η(t)+ηtt(t)) (see, for instance, [5] for the physical interpretation), where (η(t),u(t)) is the solution of a viscous Boussinesq system, by an appropriate choice of boundary controls gGad and hHad. Namely, we deal with the minimization problem (1)-(5).

    Definition 3.1. We say that, for given boundary controls gGad and hHad, a couple of functions (η(t),u(t)) is a weak solution to the initial-boundary value problem (2)-(4) if

    η(t)=w(t)+η,    w()W0(0,T),    u()Wδ(0,T), (19)
    δ(L)ux(0,L)=0,        δ(0)ux(0,0)=0, (20)
    (w(0),χ)H=(η0η,χ)H       for all χH, (21)
    (u(0)(δux(0))x,χ)Vδ=(u0,χ)Vδ       for all χVδ, (22)

    and the following relations

    ˙w(t),φV0;V0+((w(t)u(t))x,φ)H+ν(wx(t),φx)H                 +12(r0ux(t)+2ηux(t),φ)H=0, (23)
    ˙u(t),ψVδ;Vδ+Ωδ˙ux(t)ψxdx+(u(t)ux(t),ψ)H+(μ(t)wx(t),ψ)H                +σ1(t)u(t,L)ψ(L)σ0(t)u(t,0)ψ(0)                =(f(t),ψ)H+h(t)ψ(L)g(t)ψ(0) (24)

    hold true for all φV0 and ψVδ and a.e. t[0,T].

    Remark 2. Let us mention that if we multiply the left- and right-hand sides of equations (23)-(24) by function χL2(0,T) and integrate the result over the interval (0,T), all integrals are finite. Moreover, closely following the arguments of Korpusov and Sveshnikov (see [13]), it can be shown that the weak solution to (2)-(4) in the sense of Definition 3.1 is equivalent to the following one: (η(t),u(t)) is a weak solution to the initial-boundary value problem (2)-(4) if the conditions (19)-(22) hold true and

    T0A1(w(t),u(t)),φ(t)V0;V0dt=0,      φ()L2(0,T;V0), (25)
    T0A2(w(t),u(t)),ψ(t)Vδ;Vδdt=0,      ψ()L2(0,T;Vδ), (26)

    where

    A1(w,u)=wtνwxx+wxu+wux+12r0ux+ηuxV0, (27)
    A2(w,u)=[t(u(δux)x)+12(u2)x+μwxfδ(0)˙ux(,0)+σ0u(,0)gδ(L)˙ux(,L)+σ1u(,L)h]Vδ. (28)

    Lemma 3.2 ([5]). Assume that the conditions (15)-(17) hold true. Let gGad and hHad be an arbitrary pair of admissible boundary controls. Then there exists a unique solution (η(),u()) of the system (2)-(4) in the sense of Definition 3.1 such that

    (η(),u())(W0(0,T)+η)×Wδ(0,T),wL(0,T;H)L2(0,T;H2(Ω)V0),˙wL2(0,T;H), uW1,(0,T;Vδ) (29)

    and there exists a constant D>0 depending only on initial data (15), (17) and control constrains h1,g1, satisfying the estimates

    w2L2(0,T;H2(Ω))+w2L(0,T;H)+˙w2L2(0,T;H)D, (30)
    u2L(0,T;Vδ)+˙u2L(0,T;Vδ)D. (31)

    We also define the feasible set to the problem (1)-(5), (18) as follows:

    Ξ={(g,h,η,u) |gGad,     hHad,η(t)=w(t)+η,     wW0(0,T),     uWδ(0,T),(w(t),u(t)) satisfies relations (19)-(24)for  all φV0,  ψVδ,      and      a.e.  t[0,T],J(g,h,η,u)<+.} (32)

    We say that a tuple (g0,h0,η0,u0)Ξ is an optimal solution to the problem (1)-(5), (18) if

    J(g0,h0,η0,u0)=inf(g,h,η,u)ΞJ(g,h,η,u).

    In [5] it was shown that Ξ and Ξλ={(g,h,η,u)Ξ:J(g,h,η,u)λ} is a bounded set in L2(0,T)×L2(0,T)×(W0(0,T)+η)×Wδ(0,T) for every λ>0.

    While proving these hypotheses, the authors in [5] obtained a series of useful estimates for the weak solutions to initial-boundary value problem (2)-(4).

    Lemma 3.3. [5,Lemmas 6.3 and 6.5 along with Remark 6.5] Let gGad and hHad be an arbitrary pair of admissible boundary controls. Let (η(),u())=(w()+η,u()) be the corresponding weak solution to the system (2)-(4) in the sense of Definition 3.1. Under assumptions (15)-(17), there exist positive constants C1, C2, C3 depending on the initial data only such that for a.a. t[0,T]

    w(t)2H+u(t)2VδC1,   ˙w(t)V0C2,   ˙u(t)VδC3. (33)

    In the context of solvability of OCP (18)-(5), the regularity of the solutions of the corresponding initial-boundary value problem (2)-(4) plays a crucial role.

    Theorem 3.4 ([5]). The set of feasible solutions Ξ to the problem (1)-(5), (18) is nonempty provided the initial data satisfy the conditions (15)-(17).

    Now we proceed with the result concerning existence of optimal solutions to OCP (1)-(5), (18).

    Theorem 3.5. For each

    fL(0,T;L2(Ω)),  μL(0,T;V),  σ0L(0,T),  σ1L(0,T),αΩL(Ω),  αQR+,  uΩL2(Ω),  ηQW(0,T;H),u0Vδ,  η0V0, r0H1(Ω),  δL1(Ω)

    the optimal control problem (1)-(5), (18) admits at least one solution (g0,h0,η0,u0).

    Proof. We apply for the proof the direct method of the calculus of variations. Let us take λR+ large enough, such that

    Ξλ={(g,h,η,u)Ξ  :  J(g,h,η,u)λ}.

    Since the cost functional (1) is bounded below on Ξ, this implies the existence of a minimizing sequence {(gn,hn,ηn,un)}nNΞλ, where ηn=wn+η. In [5], the authors have proved that this sequence is bounded in L2(0,T)×L2(0,T)×(W0(0,T)+η)×Wδ(0,T). Moreover, using (30)-(31), we get

    ηxx2L2(0,T;L2(Ω))=wxx2L2(0,T;L2(Ω))w2L2(0,T;H2(Ω))D,uxt2L2(0,T;H)max{1,δ10}˙u2L(0,T;Vδ)D.

    Therefore, within a subsequence, still denoted by the same index, we can suppose that

    gng0  in  L2(0,T),  hnh0  in  L2(0,T),unu0  strongly  in  L2(0,T;H),unu0 weakly-  in  L(0,T;Vδ),˙unv  weakly  in  L2(0,T;Vδ)     and      weakly-  in  L(0,T;Vδ),

    where v=˙u0 in the sense of distributions D(0,T;Vδ). Also, by Lemma 3.3 (see relation (33)), we get

    un(t)2VδC1    for all nN  and  for  all  t[0,T],

    whence, passing to a subsequence, if necessary, we obtain

    we have J(g0,h0,η0,u0)infnNJ(gn,hn,ηn,un).

    This section aims to prove a range of auxiliary results that will be used in the sequel. Throughout this section the tuple (g0,h0,η0,u0), where η0=w0+η denotes an optimal solution to initial OCP problem (1)-(5).

    The following proposition aims to prove rather technical result, however it is useful for substantiation of the first-order optimality conditions to the initial OCP (1)-(5).

    Proposition 1. Let δH1(Ω). Then, for the initial data (15)-(17), the following inclusions take place

    u0[u0xxη0+2u0xη0x+η0xxu0](αQ)2Ω(η0ηQ)dxL2(0,T;V),η0[u0xxη0+2u0xη0x+η0xxu0]L2(0,T;V).

    Proof. To begin with, let us prove that

    η0[u0xxη0+2u0xη0x+η0xxu0]L2(0,T;V).

    Obviously, in order to show that

    u0[u0xxη0+2u0xη0x+η0xxu0](αQ)2Ω(η0ηQ)dxL2(0,T;V)

    it would be enough to apply the similar arguments. Since η0W(0,T;V)C(Q), it is enough to show that there exists ˜C such that

    u0xxη0+2u0xη0x+η0xxu0V˜C for a.a. t[0,T].

    It should be noticed that as far as

    u0xL2(Ω;δ dx)L2(Ω)    for a.a. t[0;T],

    then u0xx(H1(Ω))=V.

    Also the fact that η0H2(Ω) gives η0xxL2(Ω) and η0xH1(Ω)C(¯Ω) for a.a. t[0;T]. Therefore, we have

    u0xx(t)η0(t)+2u0x(t)η0x(t)+η0xx(t)u0(t)V=supvV1u0xx(t)η0(t)+2u0x(t)η0x(t)+η0xx(t)u0(t),vV;V=Ωu0xx(t)η0(t)vdx+2Ωu0x(t)η0x(t)vdx+Ωη0xx(t)u0(t)vdxη0(t)C(¯Ω)vVu0xx(t)V+η0x(t)L(Ω)u0x(t)HvH+u0C(¯Ω)ηxx(t)HvHvV×(η0(t)C(¯Ω)u0xxV+η0x(t)L(Ω)u0x(t)L2(Ω)+u0C(¯Ω)ηxx(t)L2(Ω))C(t).

    It is clear that if only η0(W0(0,T)+η)L2(0,T;H2(Ω)V), then we have η0C(0,T;V), η0C(¯Ω), and η0xL2(0,T;V). Moreover, from (δu0x)x=δxu0x+δu0xx we can deduce that

    u0xxV=1δ((δu0x)xδxu0x)V1δ0((δu0x)xV+δxu0xV) (34)

    and

    C(t)2L2(0;T)2δ20η02C(0,T;H)T0((δu0x)x2V+δxu0x2V)dt+2max{L,L1}δ0T0η0x2Vu02Vδdt+u02C(0,T;H)T0η0xx2Hdt2δ20η02C(0,T;H)T0((δu0x)x2V+δxu0x2V)dt+2max{L,L1}δ0u02W1,(0,T;Vδ)η02L2(0,T;H2)+u02C(0,T;H)η02L2(0,T;H2). (35)

    Let us show that the integrals T0δxu0x2Vdt and T0(δu0x)x2Vdt are finite. We take into account the continuous embedding VC(¯Ω). Then c(E) such that vC(¯Ω)c(E)vV, for all vV. As for the first integral, we have

    T0δxu0x(t)2Vdt=T0(supvV1Ω|δx||u0x(t)||v|dx)2dtT0(supvV1vC(¯Ω)δVu(t)V)2dtc2(E)δ0v2Vδ2Vu2L2(0,T;Vδ)c2(E)Tδ0δ2Vu2L(0,T;Vδ).

    Now, to estimate the second integral, we make use of the equation (2)2 and the well known inequality (a+b+c)23(a2+b2+c2).

    T0(δu0x)x2Vdt=T0(supvV1Ω|(δu0x)xv|dx)2dt=T0(supvV1Ω|[t0(f(s)u0(s)u0x(s)μ(s)η0x(s))ds+u0(t)+u0+(δ(u0)x)x]v|dx)2dtT02(supvV1Ω|t0(f(s)vu0(s)u0x(s)vμ(s)η0x(s)v)ds|dx)2dt+T02(supvV1Ω|(u0(t)+u0+(δ(u0)x)x)v|dx)2dtT02(supvV1ΩT0|f(s)vu0(s)u0x(s)vμ(s)η0x(s)v)|dsdx)2dt+T02(supvV1[u0(t)VvV+u0VvV+(δ(u0)x)xVvV])2dtT02(supvV1T0Ω[|f(s)v|+|u0(s)u0x(s)v|+|μ(s)η0x(s)v|]dxds)2dt+T06([u0(t)2V+u02V+(δ(u0)x)x2V])2dtT02(supvV1T0(f(t)HvV+u0(t)C(¯Ω)u0(t)VvV+μ(t)Hη0(t)VvC(¯Ω))ds)2dt+6Tδ0u02L(0,T;Vδ)+6Tu02V+6T(δ(u0)x)x2V6T[Tf2L2(0,T;H)+(c(E))2max{1,δ10}Tu04L(0,T;Vδ)+(c(E))2μ2L2(0,T;H)η02L2(0,T;V)]+6Tδ0u02L(0,T;Vδ)+6Tu02V+6T(δ(u0)x)x2V<+.

    It is worth to mention here that, in fact, (δ(u0)x)x(H1(Ω)) because the element δ(u0)x belongs to L2(Ω). Indeed,

    Ω(δ(u0)x)2dxδC(¯Ω)Ωδ((u0)x)2dxc(E)δVu0Vδ.

    It remains to note that the property T0(Ω(η0ηQ)dx)2dt< can be rewritten as follows Ω(η0ηQ)dxL2(0,T).

    Let us consider two operators γ1 and γ2 that define the restriction of the functions from V=H1(Ω) to the boundary Ω={x=L,x=0}, respectively (i.e. γ1[u(t,)]=u(t,L) and γ2[u(t,)]=u(t,0)). Also we put into consideration two operators

    A,B:L2(0,T;V0)×L2(0,T;Vδ)[L2(0,T;V0)]2×[L2(0,T)]2,

    defined on the set of vector functions p=(p,q)tL2(0,T;V0)×L2(0,T;Vδ) by the rule

    (Ap)(t):=A(t)p(t)=(p(t)q(t)(δqx(t))xγ1[δqx(t)]γ2[δqx(t)]), (36)
    (Bp)(t):=B(t)p(t)=(u0px(t)+νpxx(t)+(μq)x(t)(η0+12r0)px(t)+12(r0)xp(t)+u0qx(t)(σ1(t)+γ1[u0])γ1[q(t)](σ0(t)+γ2[u0])γ2[q(t)]). (37)

    Here, we use the fact that Vδ=V0H1/2(Ω), which in one-dimensional case obviously turns to V=V0RR and, hence, L2(0,T;Vδ)=L2(0,T;V0)L2(0,T)L2(0,T). Then the following result holds true.

    Lemma 4.1. The operator A(t):V0×Vδ[V0]2×R×R, defined by (36), satisfies the following conditions:

    A(t) is radially continuous, i.e. for any fixed v1,v2V0×Vδ:=˜V and almost each t(0,T) the real-valued function sA(t)(v1+sv2),v2˜V;˜V is continuous in [0,1];

    for some constant C and some function gL2(0,T)

    A(t)v˜VCv˜V+g(t),   for a.e.   t[0,T], v˜V;

    it is strictly monotone uniformly with respect to t[0,T] in the following sense: there exists a constant m>0, independent of t, such that

    A(t)v1A(t)v2,v1v2˜V;˜Vv11v122H+mv21v222Vδ,v1,v2˜V and for a.e. t[0,T].

    Moreover, the operator B:L2(0,T;V0)×L2(0,t;Vδ)[L2(0,T;V0)]2×L2(0,T)×L2(0,T) possesses the Lipschitz property, i.e. there exists a constant L>0 such that

    Bv1Bv2L2(0,T;˜V)Lv1v2L2(0,T;˜V), for all v1,v2L2(0,T;˜V).

    Proof. Since the radial continuity of operator A is obvious, we begin with the proof of the second property. Let v=(v,w),z=(z,y)˜V be arbitrary elements. Then

    A(t)v˜V=supz˜V1|A(t)v,z˜V;˜V|=supzV0+yVδ1|Ω(vz+wy)dxΩ(δwx)xydx+δ(L)wx(L)y(L)δ(0)wx(0)y(0)|=supz˜V1|Ω(vz+wy)dx+Ωδwxyxdx|supz˜V1(vHzH+wHyH+wVδyVδ)2(vV0+yVδ)=2v˜V.

    As for the monotonicity property, for every p1,p2V0×Vδ, we have

    A(t)p1A(t)p2,p1p2˜V;˜V=Ω(p1p2)2dx+Ω(q1q2)2dxΩ[(δ(q1)x)x(δ(q2)x)x](q1q2)dx+[δ(L)(q1(,L))xδ(L)(q2(,L))x](q1(,L)q2(,L))[δ(0)(q1(,0))xδ(0)(q2(,0))x](q1(,0)q2(,0))=p1p2H+q1q2H+q1q22L2(Ω,δdx).

    It remains to show the Lipschitz continuity of operator B(t). With that in mind we consider three vector-valued functions {\bf{v}} = (v_1,v_2)^t, {\bf{w}} = (w_1,w_2)^t and {\bf{z}} = (z_1,z_2)^t. Then

    \begin{align*} &\|B{\bf{v}}-B{\bf{w}}\|_{L^2(0,T;\widetilde{V}^\ast)} = \sup\limits_{\|{\bf{z}}\|_{\widetilde{V}\le 1}}\left|\langle B{\bf{v}}-B{\bf{w}},{\bf{z}} \rangle_{\widetilde{V}^\ast;\widetilde{V}}\right|\\& = \int_0^T\Big[ \left|(u^0(t)({v_1}_x(t)-{w_1}_x(t)),z_1(t))_{H}\right|+ \nu\left|({v_1}_x(t)-{w_1}_x(t),{z_1}_x(t))_{H}\right|\\ &+\left|(\mu_x({v_2}(t)-{w_2}(t)), z_1(t))_H\right|+ \left|(\mu({v_2}_x(t)-{w_2}_x(t)), z_1(t))_H\right|\\ &+\frac{1}{2}\left|\left((r_0+2\eta^0)({v_1}_x(t)-{w_1}_x(t)),z_2(t)\right)_{H}\right|\\ &+\frac{1}{2}\left|\left((r_0)_x({v_1}(t)-{w_1}(t)),z_2(t)\right)_{H}\right|+ \left|(u^0(t)({v_2}_x(t)-{w_2}_x(t)),z_2(t))_{H}\right| \\ &+\left|(\sigma_1(t)+u^0(t,L))(v_2(t,L)-w_2(t,L))z_2(t,L)\right|\\ &+\left|(\sigma_0(t)+u^0(t,0))(v_2(t,0)-w_2(t,0))z_2(t,0)\right|\Big]\,dt\\ &\le\|u^0\|_{C(Q)}\|v_1-w_1\|_{L^2(0,T;V_0)}\|z_1\|_{L^2(0,T;V_0)}+\nu\|v_1-w_1\|_{L^2(0,T;V_0)}\|z_1\|_{L^2(0,T;V_0)}\\ &+\int_0^T\Big( 2\|z\|_{C(\overline{\Omega})}\delta_0^{-1/2}\|\mu\|_V\|v_2-w_2\|_{V_\delta}+ \frac{1}{2}(\|r_0+2\eta^0\|_{H}\\ &+\|r_0\|_V)\|v_1-w_1\|_{V}\|z_2\|_{C(\overline{\Omega})}\Big)\,dt +\|u^0\|_{C(Q)}\delta_0^{-1}\|v_2-w_2\|_{V_\delta}\|z_2\|_{V_\delta}\\ &+\int_0^T \left(|\sigma_1(t)|+|\sigma_0(t)|+2\|u^0(t)\|_{C(\overline{\Omega})}\right)\|v_2(t)-w_2(t)\|_{C(\overline{\Omega})}\,dt. \end{align*}

    Taking into account the continuous embedding V_\delta,V_0\hookrightarrow C(\overline{\Omega}) and the corresponding inequality

    \|v\|_{C(\overline{\Omega})}\le c(E)\|v\|_V\le c(E)\delta_0^{-1/2}\|v\|_{V_\delta},

    we finally have

    \|B{\bf{v}}-B{\bf{w}}{{\|}_{{{L}^{2}}(0,T;{{\widetilde{V}}^{*}})}}\le L\|{\bf{v}}-{\bf{w}}{{\|}_{{{L}^{2}}(0,T;\widetilde{V})}},

    where L = \max\{C_1;C_2\} and

    \begin{align*} C_1& = \|u^0\|_{C(Q)}+\nu+c(E)(\|r_0\|_{V}+\|\eta^0\|_{C(0,T;H)}),\\ C_2& = 2c(E)\delta_0^{-1}\|\mu\|_{L^\infty(0,T;V)} +\|u^0\|_{C(Q)}\delta_0^{-1}+c(E)(\|\sigma_1\|_{L^2(0,T)}\\ &+\|\sigma_2\|_{L^2(0,T)}+2\|u^0\|_{C(Q)}). \end{align*}

    This concludes the proof.

    Lemma 4.2. Operator

    A:L^2(0,T;V_0)\times L^2(0,T;V_\delta)\to \left[L^2(0,T;V_0^\ast)\right]^2\times \left[L^2(0,T)\right]^2,

    which is defined by (36), is radially continuous, strictly monotone and there exists an inverse Lipschitz-continuous operator

    A^{-1}:\left[L^2(0,T;V_0^\ast)\right]^2\times \left[L^2(0,T)\right]^2\to L^2(0,T;V_0)\times L^2(0,T;V_\delta)

    such that

    \begin{gather*} (A^{-1}f)(t) = A^{-1}(t)f(t)\ \ for \ a.e.\ \ t\in [0,T]\\ and\ for\ all\ f\in \left[L^2(0,T;V_0^\ast)\right]^2\times \left[L^2(0,T)\right]^2, \end{gather*}

    where A^{-1}(t): \left[V_0^\ast\right]^2\times\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R}\to V_0\times V_\delta is an inverse operator to

    A(t):V_0\times V_\delta\to \left[V_0^\ast\right]^2\times\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R}.

    Proof. It is easy to see that the action of operator A(t) on element {\bf{p}} = (p,q)^t can be also given by the rule:

    \begin{align} & A(t){\bf{p}}(t) = \left( \begin{array}{l} {A_1}(t)p(t)\;\\ {A_2}(t)q(t) \end{array} \right) , \\ &{{A}_{1}}:{{L}^{2}}(0,T;{{V}_{0}})\to {{L}^{2}}(0,T;V_{0}^{*}), \\ &{{A}_{2}}:{{L}^{2}}(0,T;{{V}_{\delta }})\to {{L}^{2}}(0,T;V_{0}^{*})\times {{L}^{2}}(0,T)\times {{L}^{2}}(0,T), \\ \end{align}

    where

    A_1(t)p(t) = p(t) \text{ and }A_2(t) q(t) = \left(\begin{array}{c} q(t)-(\delta q_x(t))_x\\[1ex] \gamma_1[\delta q_x(t)]\\[1ex] -\gamma_2[\delta q_x(t)] \end{array}\right).

    It is easy to see, that A_1(t) is the identity operator. Therefore, A_1^{-1}(t)\equiv A_1(t). As for the operator A_2(t), it is strongly monotone for all t\in [0,T] because

    \langle (A_2 q_1)(t)-(A_2q_2)(t),q_1(t)-q_2(t)\rangle_{V_\delta^\ast;V_\delta} = \|q_1-q_2\|_{V_\delta}.

    Moreover, A_2(t) satisfies all preconditions of [11,Lemma 2.2] that establishes the existence of a Lipschitz continuous inverse operator

    A_2^{-1}:L^2(0,T;V_0^\ast)\times L^2(0,T)\times L^2(0,T)\to L^2(0,T;V_\delta)

    such that

    (A_2^{-1}f)(t) = A_2^{-1}(t)f(t)\ \text{for a.e. }\ t\in [0,T]\ \text{ and }\ \forall\,f\in \left[L^2(0,T;V_0^\ast)\right]\times \left[L^2(0,T)\right]^2,

    where A_2^{-1}(t): \left[V_0^\ast\right]\times\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R}\to V_\delta is an inverse operator to A_2(t): V_\delta\to V_0^\ast\times\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R}. The proof is complete.

    Before proceeding further, we make use of the following result concerning the solvability of Cauchy problems for pseudoparabolic equations (for the proof we refer to [11,Theorem 2.4]).

    Theorem 4.3. For operators

    A, B:L^2(0,T;V_0)\times L^2(0,T;V_\delta)\to \left[L^2(0,T;V_0^\ast)\right]^2\times \left[L^2(0,T)\right]^2

    defined in (36), (37), and for any

    F\in \left[L^2(0,T;V_0^\ast)\right]^2\times \left[L^2(0,T)\right]^2\ \ \ and\ \ \ \ b\in V_0^\ast\times V_\delta^\ast,

    the Cauchy problem

    \begin{gather*} \left(A(t){\bf{p}}\right)'_t+B(t){\bf{p}} = F(t),\\ A(T){\bf{p}}(T) = b \end{gather*}

    admits a unique solution.

    In this section we focus on the derivation of the first-order optimality conditions for optimization problem (1)-(5). The Lagrange functional

    \begin{align*} \mathcal{L}&:\Big(W_0(0,T)\cap L^2(0,T;H^2(\Omega)\cap V_0)\Big)\times W^{1,\infty}(0,T;V_\delta) \times L^2(0,T)\times L^2(0,T)\times \mathbb{R}\\ &\times \Big(W_0(0,T)\cap L^2(0,T;H^2(\Omega)\cap V_0)\Big)\times W^{1,\infty}(0,T;V_\delta)\to\mathbb{R}, \end{align*}

    associated to problem (1)-(5) (see also Remark 2) is defined by

    Let us shift the correspondent derivatives from w and u to Lagrange multipliers p and q, taking into account the initial and boundary conditions (3)-(4):

    For each fixed (p,q)\in \Big(W_0(0,T)\cap L^2(0,T;H^2(\Omega)\cap V_0)\Big)\times W^{1,\infty}(0,T;V_\delta) the Lagrangian is continuously Frechet-differentiable with respect to

    (w,u,g,h)\in \Big(W_0(0,T)\cap L^2(0,T;H^2(\Omega)\cap V_0)\Big)\times W^{1,\infty}(0,T;V_\delta)\times L^2(0,T)\times L^2(0,T).

    Notice that, for a fixed t, we have u\in V\subset C(\overline{\Omega}) and w\in V_0\subset C(\overline{\Omega}), hence, the inner products (w_x(t)u(t)+w(t)u_x(t),p(t))_{H} and (u(t) u_x(t),q(t))_H are correctly defined almost everywhere in [0,T].

    Further we make use of the following relation \eta_t = -\frac{1}{2}r_0 u_x that was introduced in [3]. Substituting this one to (2), we have \nu\eta_{xx} = (\eta u)_x = \eta_x u+u_x\eta.

    Also, to simplify the deduction and in order to avoid the demanding of the increased smoothness on solutions of the initial Boussinesq system (2)-(5), we use (see [4] and [5]) elastic model for the hydrodynamic pressure

    P(t,x) = P_{ext}+\frac{\beta }{r_{0}^{2}}\eta

    instead of the inertial one

    \begin{gather} \label{3.F3} P = P_{ext}+\frac{\beta }{r_{0}^{2}}\eta +\rho _{\omega }h\frac{\partial ^{2}\eta }{\partial t^{2}} = P_{ext}+\frac{\beta }{r_{0}^{2}}\eta -\frac{1}{2}\rho _{\omega }hr_0 u_{xt}. \end{gather} (38)

    Indeed, if we suppose the wall thickness h to be small enough, the last term in the inertial model (38) appears negligible.

    As a result, the cost functional J(g,h,w,u), where \eta = w+\eta^\ast, takes the form

    \begin{align} \notag J(g,h,w,u)& = \frac{1}{2}\int_\Omega \alpha_\Omega\left(u(T)-u_\Omega\right)^2\,dx+\frac{1}{2} \int_0^T\int_\Omega \big((w(t)u(t))_x+u_x(t)\eta^\ast\big)^2\,dx \,dt\\ \notag &+ \frac{1}{2}\int_0^T\left|\int_\Omega \alpha_Q\Big(w(t)+\eta^\ast-\eta_Q\Big)\,dx\right|^2\, dt\\ &+ \frac{1}{2}\int_0^T\Big(\beta_g\,|g|^2+\beta_h\,|h|^2\Big)\,dt.\label{4.1} \end{align} (39)

    In order to formulate the conjugate system for an optimal solution (g^0,h^0,\eta^0,u^0), where \eta^0 = w^0+\eta^\ast, we have to find the Fréchet differentials \mathcal{L}_w z and \mathcal{L}_u v, where

    z\in W_0(0,T)\cap L^2(0,T;H^2(\Omega)\cap V_0)\ \ \ \ \text{and}\ \ \ \ v\in W^{1,\infty}(0,T;V_\delta)\times L^2(0,T).

    With that in mind we emphasize the following point. Since the elements

    w+z\in W_0(0,T)\cap L^2(0,T;H^2(\Omega)\cap V_0)\ \ \ \ \text{and}\ \ \ \ u+v\in W^{1,\infty}(0,T;V_\delta)\times L^2(0,T)

    are some admissible solutions to OCP (39), (2)-(5), it follows that the increments z and v satisfy the homogeneous initial and boundary conditions, i.e.

    \left\{ \begin{array}{*{35}{l}} z(0,\cdot ) = 0\ \ \ \text{ in }\ \Omega , \\ v(0,\cdot )-{{\left( \delta (\cdot ){{v}_{x}}(0,\cdot ) \right)}_{x}} = 0\ \ \ \text{ in }\ \Omega , \\ \end{array} \right. (40)
    \left\{ \begin{array}{*{35}{l}} z(\cdot ,0) = z(\cdot ,L) = 0\ \ \ \ \text{ in }\ (0,T), \\ \delta (0){{{\dot{v}}}_{x}}(\cdot ,0)+{{\sigma }_{0}}v(\cdot ,0) = 0,\ \ \ \ \text{ in }\ (0,T), \\ \delta (L){{{\dot{v}}}_{x}}(\cdot ,L)+{{\sigma }_{1}}v(\cdot ,L) = 0,\ \ \ \ \text{ in }\ (0,T), \\ \delta (L){{v}_{x}}(0,L) = \delta (0){{v}_{x}}(0,0) = 0. \\ \end{array} \right. (41)

    Taking into account the definition of the Fréchet derivative of nonlinear mappings, we get

    J(g,h,w+z,u) = J(g,h,w,u)+{{J}_{w}}z+{{R}_{0}}(w,z),

    where R_0(w,z) stands for the remainder, which takes the form

    \begin{align} \label{7.15.a} R_0(w,z) = \frac{1}{2}\int_0^T\int_\Omega \left((z u)_x\right)^2 \,dx\,dt+\int_0^T\left|\int_\Omega a_Q z(t)\right|^2\,dt, \end{align} (42)

    and

    \begin{align*} J_w z& = J(g,h,w+z,u)-J(g,h,w,u)-{R}_0(w,z)\\ & = \frac{1}{2}\int_0^T\int_\Omega \big(((w(t)+z(t))u(t))_x+u_x(t)\eta^\ast\big)^2\,dx \,dt\\ &- \frac{1}{2}\int_0^T\int_\Omega \big((w(t)u(t))_x+u_x(t)\eta^\ast\big)^2\,dx \,dt\\ &+\frac{1}{2}\int_0^T\left|\int_\Omega \alpha_Q\Big(w(t)+z(t)+\eta^\ast-\eta_Q\Big)\,dx\right|^2\, dt\\ &-\frac{1}{2}\int_0^T\left|\int_\Omega \alpha_Q\Big(w(t)+\eta^\ast-\eta_Q\Big)\,dx\right|^2\, dt\\ & = \int_0^T\int_\Omega \big((w(t)u(t))_x+u_x(t)\eta^\ast\big)\big((z(t)u(t))_x\big)\,dx\,dt\\ &+\int_0^T\left(\int_\Omega\alpha_Q\Big(w(t)+\eta^\ast-\eta_Q\Big)\,dx\right)\left(\int_\Omega\alpha_Q z(t)\,dx\right)\,dt \\ & = \int_0^T\int_\Omega(w_x u+u_xw+u_x\eta^\ast)(u_x z+z_x u)\,dx\,dt\\ &+\alpha^2_Q\int_0^T\int_\Omega \left(\int_\Omega\Big(w(t)+\eta^\ast-\eta_Q\Big)\,dx\right)z(t)\,dx\,dt\\ & = \int_0^T\int_\Omega\Big[(w_x u_x u+(u_x)^2w+(u_x)^2\eta^\ast)-(w_x u^2+u_xuw+u_xu\eta^\ast)_x \Big]z(t)\,dx\,dt\\ &+\alpha^2_Q\int_0^T\int_\Omega \left(\int_\Omega\Big(w(t)+\eta^\ast-\eta_Q\Big)\,dx\right)z(t)\,dx\,dt. \end{align*}

    It is obviously follows from (42) that

    \frac{|R_0(w,x)|}{\|z\|_{L^2(0,T;H^2(\Omega)\cap V_0)}}\rightarrow 0\ \ \ \ \text{as}\ \ \ \ \|z\|_{L^2(0,T;H^2(\Omega)\cap V_0)}\to 0.

    Hence, after some transformations, we have

    \begin{align} \notag J_w z& = \int_0^T\int_\Omega \Big(- u\left[u_{xx}(w+\eta^\ast)+2u_xw_x+w_{xx}u\right]\\ &+\alpha^2_Q \int_\Omega\Big(w(t)+\eta^\ast-\eta_Q\Big)\,dx\Big)z(t)\,dx\,dt.\label{7.15} \end{align} (43)

    Treating similarly to the other derivative, we obtain

    J(g,h,w,u+v) = J(g,h,w,u)+J_u v+\widetilde{\mathcal{R}}_0(u,v),

    where the remainder \widetilde{\mathcal{R}}_0(u,v) takes the form

    \begin{align} \label{7.15.b} \widetilde{\mathcal{R}}_0(u,v) = \frac{1}{2}\int_\Omega a_\Omega v^2(T) \,dx+\frac{1}{2}\int_0^T\int_\Omega\left((wv)_x+v_x\eta^\ast\right)^2\,dx\,dt,\\ \notag |\widetilde{\mathcal{R}}_0(u,v)|/\|v\|_{W^{1,\infty}(0,T;V_\delta)}\rightarrow 0\ \ \ \text{as}\ \ \ \|v\|_{W^{1,\infty}(0,T;V_\delta)}\to 0, \end{align} (44)

    and

    \begin{align} \notag J_u v& = J(g,h,w,u+v)-J(g,h,w,u)-\widetilde{\mathcal{R}}_0(u,v)\\ \notag & = \frac{1}{2}\int_\Omega \alpha_\Omega\left(u(T)+v(T)-u_\Omega\right)^2\,dx-\frac{1}{2}\int_\Omega \alpha_\Omega\left(u(T)-u_\Omega\right)^2\,dx\\ \notag &+ \frac{1}{2}\int_0^T\int_\Omega \big((w(t)(u(t)+v(t)))_x+(u_x(t)+v_x(t))\eta^\ast\big)^2\,dx \,dt\\ \notag &-\frac{1}{2}\int_0^T\int_\Omega \big((w(t)u(t))_x+u_x(t)\eta^\ast\big)^2\,dx \,dt\\ \notag & = \int_\Omega\alpha_\Omega(u(T)-u_\Omega)v(T)\,dx\\ \notag &-\int_0^T\int_\Omega (w+\eta^\ast)\left[u_{xx}(w+\eta^\ast)+2u_xw_x+w_{xx}u\right]\,dx\,dt\\ \notag &+\int_0^T \eta^\ast((w^0(t,L) u^0(t,L))_x+u^0_x\eta^\ast)v(t,L)\,dt\\ &-\int_0^T \eta^\ast((w^0(t,0) u^0(t,0))_x+u^0_x(t,0)\eta^\ast) v(t,0)\,dt. \label{7.16} \end{align} (45)

    We are now in a position to identify the Fréchet derivatives \mathcal{L}_w and \mathcal{L}_v of the Lagrangian. Following in a similar manner, we have

    \begin{align*} \mathcal{L}_w z& = \lambda J_w z+\int_0^T\Big[\langle {z},\dot{p}\rangle_{V_0^\ast;V_0}+\nu\langle z,p_{xx}\rangle_{V_0^\ast;V_0}+(zu,p_x)_H +( z,(\mu q)_x)_H\Big]\,dt\\ &-\langle z(T),p(T)\rangle_{V^\ast_0;V_0} \end{align*}

    and

    \begin{align*} \mathcal{L}_u v& = \lambda J_u v+\int_0^T\left[(wv,p_x)_H+\frac{1}{2}( v,((r_0+2\eta^\ast)p)_x)_H\right]\,dt\\ &+\int_0^T\left[\langle {v},\dot{q}-\delta(\dot{q}_x)_x\rangle_{V_\delta^\ast;V_\delta}+\left(uv,q_x\right)_H\right]\,dt\\ &-\langle {v}(T,\cdot),{q}(T,\cdot)-(\delta{q}_x(T,\cdot))_x\rangle_{V_\delta^\ast;V_\delta}\\ &-\int_0^T\Big[\left(\sigma_1(t)q(t,L)-\delta(L)\dot{q}_x(t,L)\right)v(t,L)\\ &- \left(\sigma_0(t)q(t,0)-\delta(0)\dot{q}_x(t,0)\right)v(t,0)\Big]\,dt\\ &-\int_0^T(u(t,L)v(t,L)q(t,L)-u(t,0)v(t,0)q(t,0))\,dt\\ &-\delta(L)v(T,L)q_x(T,L)+\delta(0)v(T,0)q_x(T,0). \end{align*}

    As for the Fréchet derivatives \mathcal{L}_g and \mathcal{L}_h, direct calculations leads us to the following representation:

    \begin{align*} \mathcal{L}_g k(t)& = \mathcal{L}(w,u,g+k,h,p,q)-\mathcal{L}(w,u,g,h,p,q)-R(g,k)\\& = \int_0^T \beta_g g(t)k(t)\,dt-\int_0^T k(t)q(t,0)\,dt-R(g,k),\\ \mathcal{L}_h l(t)& = \mathcal{L}(w,u,g,h+l,p,q)-\mathcal{L}(w,u,g,h,p,q)-R(h,l)\\& = \int_0^T \beta_h h(t)l(t)\,dt+\int_0^T l(t)q(t,L)\,dt-R_2(h,l), \end{align*}

    where

    \begin{gather*} R_1(g,k) = \frac{1}{2}\int_0^T \beta_g k^2(t)\,dt, \ \ \ \ R_2(h,l) = \frac{1}{2}\int_0^T \beta_h l^2(t)\,dt,\\ |R_1(g,k)|/\|k\|_{L^2(0,T)}\to 0\ \text{ as }\ \|k\|_{L^2(0,T)}\to 0,\\ \text{ and }\ |R_2(h,l)|/\|l\|_{L^2(0,T)}\to 0\ \text{ as }\ \|l\|_{L^2(0,T)}\to 0. \end{gather*}

    Taking into account the calculations given above, we arrive at the following representation of the first-order optimality conditions for OCP (2)-(5), (39).

    Theorem 5.1. Let (g^0,h^0,\eta^0,u^0), where \eta^0 = w^0+\eta^\ast, be an optimal solution to the optimal control problem (1)-(5). Then there exists a unique pair

    (p,q)\in \Big[W_0(0,T)\cap L^2(0,T;H^2(\Omega)\cap V_0)\Big]\times W^{1,\infty}(0,T;V_\delta)

    such that the following system

    \begin{align} \notag \int_0^T&\Big[\left < \dot{w}^0(t),\varphi\right > _{V_0^\ast;V_0}+((w^0(t)u^0(t))_x,\varphi)_{H}+\nu(w^0_x(t),\varphi_x)_H\\ &+\frac{1}{2}\left(r_0 u^0_x(t)+2\eta^\ast u^0_x(t),\varphi\right)_H\Big]\,dt = 0, \end{align} (46)

    holds true for all

    \varphi\in W_0(0,T)\cap L^2(0,T;H^2(\Omega)\cap V_0),\ \psi\in W^{1,\infty}(0,T;V_\delta),\ \varphi\in V_0, \ \psi\in V_\delta,

    and a.e. t\in[0,T].

    Proof. Since the derived optimality conditions (46)-(55) are the direct consequence of the Lagrange principle, we focus on the solvability of the variational problems (48)-(49) for the adjoint variables p and q. To do so, we represent the system (48)-(49) as the corresponding equalities in the sense of distributions, namely,

    \begin{align} \notag p_t +\nu p_{xx}&+p_{x}u^0+(\mu q)_x\\ & = \lambda u^0\big[u^0_{xx}\eta^0+2u^0_x \eta^0_x+\eta^0_{xx}u^0\big] - \lambda(\alpha_Q)^2\int_\Omega \left(\eta^0-\eta_Q\right)\,dx, \end{align} (56)
    \begin{align} [{q}-(\delta{q}_x)_x]_t& +q_x u^0+p_x \eta^0+\frac{1}{2}(r_0 p)_x = \lambda\eta^0\big[u^0_{xx}\eta^0+2u^0_x \eta^0_x+\eta^0_{xx}u^0\big], \end{align} (57)
    \begin{align} \delta(L)\dot{q}_x(\cdot,L)-(\sigma_1+u^0(\cdot,L)) q(\cdot,L) = -\lambda\eta^\ast(\eta^0_x(\cdot,L) u^0(\cdot,L) +u^0_x(\cdot,L)\eta^\ast)\label{7.10}, \end{align} (58)
    \begin{align} \delta(0)\dot{q}_x(\cdot,0)-(\sigma_0+u^0(\cdot,0)) q(\cdot,0) = -\lambda\eta^\ast(\eta^0_x(\cdot,0) u^0(\cdot,0)+u^0_x(\cdot,0)\eta^\ast), \end{align} (59)
    \begin{align} q(T)-(\delta q_x(T))_x = \lambda a_\Omega(u^0(T)-u_\Omega), \end{align} (60)
    \begin{align} \delta(L) q_x(T,L) = \delta(0) q_x(T,0) = 0, \end{align} (61)
    \begin{align} p(T) = 0,\ \ \ \ p(\cdot,0) = p(\cdot,L) = 0. \end{align} (62)

    In the operator presentation, the system (56)-(62) takes the form (see [11]):

    \begin{gather*} \left(A(t){\bf{p}}\right)'_t+B(t){\bf{p}} = F(t), \ \ \ \ A(T){\bf{p}}(T) = {\bf{b}}, \end{gather*}

    where the operators

    A(t), B(t): L^2(0,T;V_0)\times L^2(0,T;V_\delta)\to \left[L^2(0,T;V_0^\ast)\right]^2\times \left[L^2(0,T)\right]^2

    are defined in (36)-(37), and

    \begin{align*} {\bf{b}}& = (0, \lambda a_\Omega(u^0(T)-u_\Omega), 0, 0)\in V_0^\ast\times V_0^\ast\times\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R},\\ F(t)& = (f_1,f_2,\phi_1,\phi_2)^t\in \left[L^2(0,T;V_0^\ast)\right]^2\times \left[L^2(0,T)\right]^2,\\ f_1(t)& = \lambda u^0\big[u^0_{xx}\eta^0+2u^0_x \eta^0_x+\eta^0_{xx}u^0\big]- \lambda(\alpha_Q)^2\int_\Omega \left(\eta^0-\eta_Q\right)\,dx,\\ f_2(t)& = \lambda \eta^0\big[u^0_{xx}\eta^0+2u^0_x \eta^0_x+\eta^0_{xx}u^0\big],\\ \phi_1(t)& = -\lambda\eta^\ast(\eta^0_x(t,L) u^0(t,L) +u^0_x(t,L)\eta^\ast),\\ \phi_2(t)& = \lambda\eta^\ast(\eta^0_x(t,0) u^0(t,0) +u^0_x(t,0)\eta^\ast). \end{align*}

    As a result, the existence of a unique pair (p(t),q(t)) satisfying the system (48)-(51) is a mere consequence of Theorem 5.1. Moreover, since the Cauchy problem has a solution for any

    F\in \left[L^2(0,T;V_0^\ast)\right]^2\times \left[L^2(0,T)\right]^2\ \text{ and }\ {\bf{b}}\in V_0^\ast\times V_0^\ast\times\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R},

    the Lagrange multiplier \lambda in the definition of the Lagrange functional

    \mathcal{L} = \mathcal{L}(w,u,g,h,\lambda,p,q)

    can be taken equal to 1.
