Abstract
The bang-bang control of certain distributed parameter systems is considered, and the relationship between these results and approximate controllability discussed. Several methods for the numerical approximation of these control problems are given, one via a modal approximation to the partial differential equation, and the other a finite element approximation. The algorithms involve reformulating the problem as a non-linear program in the switching times of the optimal control.
