Abstract
We study an optimal control problem for a coupled Schrödinger-elliptic evolution system that describes the propagation of a laser beam in nematic liquid crystals. We consider a bilinear control related to an electric field depending on the optical axis acting on the sample. This problem arises from the study of an optimal way to transform the input signal into a target signal by modifying a system parameter related to the bias electric field. We prove well-posedness, existence and first order necessary conditions for an optimal solution.
期刊介绍:
The Applied Mathematics and Optimization Journal covers a broad range of mathematical methods in particular those that bridge with optimization and have some connection with applications. Core topics include calculus of variations, partial differential equations, stochastic control, optimization of deterministic or stochastic systems in discrete or continuous time, homogenization, control theory, mean field games, dynamic games and optimal transport. Algorithmic, data analytic, machine learning and numerical methods which support the modeling and analysis of optimization problems are encouraged. Of great interest are papers which show some novel idea in either the theory or model which include some connection with potential applications in science and engineering.
