Abstract

In this paper, we study semi-smooth Newton methods for the numerical solution of regularized pointwise state-constrained optimal control problems governed by the Navier-Stokes equations. After deriving an appropriate optimality system for the original problem, a class of Moreau-Yosida regularized problems is introduced and the convergence of their solutions to the original optimal one is proved. For each regularized problem a semi-smooth Newton method is applied and its local superlinear convergence verified. Finally, selected numerical results illustrate the behavior of the method and a comparison between the max-min and the Fischer-Burmeister as complementarity functionals is carried out.
