Abstract

In this paper, we consider continuous dependence of the optimal control with respect to the actuator domain which is varying as open subset in the spatial domain for a multi-dimensional heat equation. Both time optimal control and norm optimal control problems are considered. The reason behind combining these two problems together is that these two problems are actually equivalent: The energy to be used to drive the system to target set in minimal time interval is actually the minimal energy of driving the system to target set in this minimal time interval, and visa versa. It is shown that both optimal control and optimal cost are continuous with respect to open controlled actuator domain under the Lebesgue measure.
