- We study the problem of controlling the initial condition of a vibrating beam. The optimal control problem seeks to determine solutions of initial velocity that assure the approach of the state of the beam to a given target function in the $L^2-$norm. We prove both the existence and uniqueness of the optimal solution. Employing identities based on the adjoint and difference problems, we determine the Fréchet derivative of the cost functional. We further derive the necessary optimality conditions of this control problem. Finally, we provide a sketch of a gradient-based algorithm, that rests on the explicit formula of the gradient of the cost functional, to obtain numerical solutions.
