On boundary optimal control problem for an arterial system: First-order optimality conditions

We discuss a control constrained boundary optimal control problem for the Boussinesq-type system arising in the study of the dynamics of an arterial network. We suppose that the control object is described by an initial-boundary value problem for \begin{document}$ 1D $\end{document} system of pseudo-parabolic nonlinear equations with an unbounded coefficient in the principle part and the Robin-type of boundary conditions. The main question we study in this part of the paper is about the existence of optimal solutions and first-order optimality conditions.
