Optimal boundary control of glass cooling processes. (English) Zbl 1049.35044

An optimal control problem for glass cooling processes is studied. The glass cooling is modelled using the \(SP_{1}\) approximations to the radiative heat transfer equations, in which the control variable is the temperature at the boundary of the domain. The resulting problem is a boundary control problem for a parabolic/elliptic system which is treated by a constrained optimization approach. Numerical methods for treating these control problems are investigated.
