&lt;div&gt;The following problem is an academic example of a PDE constrained optimal control problem with integer control constraints.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- and was introduced in &amp;lt;bibref&amp;gt;Hante2009&amp;lt;/bibref&amp;gt;. --&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The control task consists of choosing the boundary value of a transport equation from the extremal values of a traveling &lt;br /&gt;
wave such that the &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;L^2&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;-distance between the traveling wave and the resulting flow is minimized.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

 &amp;amp;  \displaystyle x(0,s)  =  x_d(0,s),\quad 0&amp;lt;s&amp;lt;1 \\&lt;br /&gt;
 &amp;amp;  \displaystyle q(t)  \in  \{0,1\},\quad 0&amp;lt;t&amp;lt;1 \\&lt;br /&gt;
\end{array} &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
x_d(t,s)=\frac12\sin(5\pi(t-s))+1,\quad 0\leq t \leq 1,~0\leq s\leq 1&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
is the traveling wave (oscillating between 0 and 1), &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;c&amp;gt;0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is a (small) regularization parameter and &lt;br /&gt;
