The SQP-method for tracking type control of the instationary Navier-Stokes equations

The SQP-method is investigated for tracking-type optimal control of the instationary Navier-Stokes equations. It is argued that the a-priori formidable SQP-step can be decomposed into linear primal and linear adjoint systems, which is amenable for existing CFL-software. We report a numerical test which demonstrates the feasibility of the approach. In addition the functional analytic setting of the convergence analysis is presented.
