Abstract: Abstract In this paper, we consider a distributed boundary control problem governed by an elliptic partial differential equation with state constraints and a minimax objective function. The continuous optimal control problem, discretized with the finite element method, is numerically approximated by a family of linear programming problems. Application to an optimal configuration problem is discussed.
