Abstract
In this paper the mathematical model of a chemical reactor is described which offers many challenging and interesting problems in particular in the areas of optimal control, parameter identification and numerical approximation. Among these the problem of optimal control is subjected to a detailed study of existence of the optimal solution and necessary optimality conditions characterizing it. Furthermore the question of approximation by simpler problems is studied and some numerical examples are given.
