Chandrasekhar equations and computational algorithms for distributed parameter systems

In this paper we consider the Chandrasekhar equations arising in optimal control problems for linear distributed parameter systems. The equations are derived via approximation theory. This approach is used to obtain existence, uniqueness and strong differentiability of the solutions and provides the basis for a convergent computation scheme for approximating feedback gain operators. A numerical example is presented to illustrate these ideas.
