Abstract

In this paper we study an optimal control problem for a linear boundary value problem with strongly degenerate coefficient in the main part of the elliptic operator and with the Neumann boundary control. Given a cost functional, the objective is to provide the well-posedness analysis of the corresponding optimal control problem, prove existence of the optimal solutions and propose the scheme for their approximation.
