Abstract

This paper deals with a PDE-constrained optimal control problem applied to an Additive Manufacturing process, namely a selective laser melting. Here, we want to control the temperature gradient inside the domain during a fixed time of heating, by acting on the trajectory of the dynamic Gaussian heating source. The nonconvex set of admissible controls reflects the fact that the control must fill the part of the boundary irradiated by the laser.
