Optimal Control of the Landau-de Gennes Model of Nematic Liquid Crystals
Thomas M. Surowiec, Shawn W. Walker
We present an analysis and numerical study of an optimal control problem for the Landau-de Gennes (LdG) model of nematic liquid crystals (LCs), which is a crucial component in mode…

Optimal Control of the Kirchhoff Equation
Masoumeh Hashemi, Roland Herzog, Thomas M. Surowiec
We consider an optimal control problem for the steady-state Kirchhoff equation, a prototype for nonlocal partial differential equations, different from fractional powers of closed…
