| contents | In this work, we consider optimality conditions of an optimal control problem governed by an obstacle problem. Here, we focus on introducing a, matrix valued, control variable as the coefficients of the obstacle problem. As it is well known, obstacle problems can be formulated as a complementarity system and consequently the associated solution operator is not Gateaux differentiable. As a consequence, we utilize a regularization approach to obtain optimality conditions as the limit of optimality conditions of a family of regularized problems.
Due to the coupling of the controlled coefficient with the gradients of the solution to the obstacle problem, weak convergence arguments can not be applied and we need to argue by $H$-convergence. We show, that, based on initial $H$-convergence, a bootstrapping argument can be utilized to prove strong $L^p$-convergence of the control and thus enable the passage to the limit in the optimality conditions. |
