Some Optimal Control Problems for the Helmholtz Equation.

Abstract

Radiation and scattering problems are formulated as optimal control problems in which either a current or surface impedance is sought from a class of admissable functions which optimizes a functional of the scattered far field. In both cases the existence of an optimal solution is proven. In the linear (radiation) case constructive algorithms for finding the optimal solution are presented. (Author)
