Abstract

In this paper, we are concerned with an optimal control problem of a quasistatic frictional contact model with history-dependent operators. The contact boundary of the model is divided into two parts where different contact conditions are specified. For the contact problem, we first derive its weak formulation and prove the existence and uniqueness of the solution to the weak formulation. Then we give a priori estimate of the unique solution and prove a continuous dependence result for the solution map. Finally, an optimal control problem that contains boundary and initial condition controls is proposed, and the existence of optimal solutions to the control problem is established.
