Abstract

In this article sufficient optimality conditions are established for optimal control of evolutionary Navier-Stokes equations. The second-order condition requires coercivity of the Lagrange function on a suitable subspace together with first-order necessary conditions. It ensures local optimality of a reference function in a Ls-neighborhood, whereby the underlying analysis allows to use weaker norms than L. (© 2004 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
