contents Stochastic optimization problems are generally known to be ill-conditioned to the form of the underlying uncertainty. A framework is introduced for optimal control problems with partial differential equations as constraints that is robust to inaccuracies in the precise form of the problem uncertainty. The framework is based on problem relaxation and involves optimizing a bivariate, "Rockafellian" objective functional that features both a standard control variable and an additional perturbation variable that handles the distributional ambiguity. In the presence of distributional corruption, the Rockafellian objective functionals are shown in the appropriate settings to $Γ$-converge to uncorrupted objective functionals in the limit of vanishing corruption. Numerical examples illustrate the framework's utility for outlier detection and removal and for variance reduction.
