Abstract

Abstract: We provide a modified augmented Lagrange method coupled with a Tikhonov regularization for solving ill-posed state constrained elliptic optimal control problems with sparse controls. We consider a linear quadratic optimal control problem without any additional L 2 regularization terms. The sparsity is guaranteed by an additional L 1 term. Here, the modification of the classical augmented Lagrange method guarantees us uniform boundedness of the multiplier that corresponds to the state constraints. We present a coupling between the regularization parameter introduced by the Tikhonov regularization and the penalty parameter from the augmented Lagrange method, which allows us to prove strong convergence of the controls and their corresponding states. Moreover, convergence results proving the weak convergence of the adjoint state and weak*-convergence of the multiplier are provided. Finally, we demonstrate our method in several numerical examples.
