State-constrained optimal control problems governed by coupled nonlinear wave equations with memory
This work considers the optimal control problems governed by coupled nonlinear wave equations with memory, where the state constraint is a type of integral. First, we investigate the existence of the optimal solution for the optimal control problem, and then we deduce the maximum principle for the optimal solution with state constraint. Moreover, we give a concrete example which is covered by the main result.
