Preface

In recent years, the field of partial differential equation (PDE)-constrained optimization has received a significant impulse with large research projects being funded by different national and international agencies. A key ingredient for this success is related to the wide applicability that the developed results have (e.g., in crystal growth, fluid flow, or heat phenomena). In return, application problems gave rise to further deep theoretical and numerical developments. In particular, the numerical treatment of such problems has motivated the design of efficient computational methods in order to obtain optimal solutions in a manageable amount of time. Although some books on optimal control of PDEs have been edited in the past years, they are mainly concentrated on theoretical aspects or on research
