Stabilization by Sparse Controls for a Class of Semilinear Parabolic Equations

Stabilization problems for parabolic equations with polynomial nonlinearities are investigated in the context of an optimal control formulation with a sparsity enhancing cost functional. This formulation allows that the optimal control completely shuts down once the trajectory is sufficiently close to a stable steady state. Such a property is not present for commonly chosen control mechanisms. To establish these results it is necessary to develop a function space framework for a class of optimal control problems posed on infinite time horizons, which is otherwise not available.
