文摘This paper addresses a gradient tracking problem of a bilinear reaction–diffusion equation evolvingin a spatial domainΩ ⊂ Rn, n ≤ 3. Such an equation is excited with distributed and boundedcontrols. The problem is formulated by the minimisation of a functional constituted of the deviationbetween the desired gradient and the current one all over a time interval and the energyterm. Then we prove the existence of an optimal control that we characterise by an optimalitysystem. Moreover, we discuss two sets of particular controls: the set of time dependent controlsand the space dependent ones. A computational approach and illustrative simulations are alsogiven.
