This category contains all control problems which are governed by an elliptic partial differential equation.

A second order linear partial differential equation can be written as $\sum_{i, j = 1}^{n} a_{i j} \frac{\partial^{2} u}{\partial x_{i} \partial x_{j}} + lower-order terms = 0$ .

If the matrix $A = (a_{i j})_{i j}$ is positive or negative definite, the partial differential equation is called elliptic.

An example is the Poisson's equation: $- Δ u = f$ , where $Δ$ denotes the Laplace operator, $u$ is the unknown, and the function $f$ is given.
