Sensitivity Analysis of Time Delay Hyperbolic Optimal Control Problems*

In the paper the first order sensitivity analysis is performed for a class of optimal control problems for time delay hyperbolic equations. A singular perturbation of geometrical domain of integration is introduced in the form of a circular hole. The Steklov-Poincaré operator on a circle is defined in order to reduce the problem to regular perturbations in the truncated domain. The optimality system is differentiated with respect to the small parameter and the directional derivative of the optimal control is obtained as a solution to an auxiliary optimal control problem.
