Abstract

Laser surface hardening of steel is formulated in terms of an optimal control problem, where the state equations are a semilinear heat equation and an ordinary differential equation, which describes the evolution of the high temperature phase. The optimal control problem is analyzed and first-order necessary optimality conditions are derived. An error estimate for POD (proper orthogonal decomposition) Galerkin methods for the state system is proved. Finally a strategy to obtain suboptimal controls using POD is developed and validated by computing some numerical examples.
