This category contains all control problems which are governed by a parabolic partial differential equation.

A second order linear partial differential equation can be written as i,j=1naij2uxixj+lower-order terms=0.


If A=(aij)ij is positive or negative semidefinite with exact one eigenvalue zero, the  partial differential equation is called parabolic.

An example is the heat equation: utΔu=f, where Δ denotes the Laplace operator, u is the unknown, and the function f is given.
