Superlinear Convergence of a Semismooth Newton Method for some Optimization Problems with Applications to Control Theory
Let (X, S, μ) be a measure space with μ(X) < ∞. In this talk, we prove the superlinear convergence of a semismooth Newton method to solve the following abstract optimization problem:
(P) min J(u) +k/2(//u//^2L2(X))
α≤u(x)≤β a.e.[μ]
,where κ > 0, −∞ ≤ α < β ≤ +∞, and J : Lp(X) → R is a function of
class C2 for some p ∈ [2, +∞). Many optimal control problems fall within this abstract formulation, such as distributed or boundary control problems and bilinear control problems associated with nonlinear elliptic or parabolic equations. We propose a superlinearly convergent semismooth Newton method to compute a local minimizer ̄u of (P) assuming that the no-gap second order sufficient optimality condition and the strict complementarity condition are fulfilled.
These assumptions are usually imposed to prove the superlinear or second order convergence of numerical algorithms for solving finite dimensional optimization problems. The translation of our algorithm to the case of optimal control problems governed by elliptic or parabolic semilinear equations is immediate.

Least-Squares Pressure Recovery in Reduced Order Methods for Incompressible Flows
In this talk, we shall introduce a method to recover the reduced
pressure in the Reduced Order Models (ROMs) for incompressible flows. The pressure is obtained via the least-squares minimum of the residual of the reduced velocity with respect to a dual norm. We prove that this procedure provides a unique solution whenever the full-order pair of velocity-pressure spaces is inf-sup stable. We also prove that the proposed method is equivalent to solving the reduced mixed problem with reduced velocity basis enriched with the euphemizers of the reduced pressure gradients. Optimal error estimates for the reduced pressure are obtained for general incompressible flow equations and specifically, for the transient Navier-Stokes equations. We also perform some numerical tests for the flow past a cylinder and the lid-driven cavity flow which confirm the theoretical expectations and show an improved convergence with respect to other pressure recovery methods.
