Abstract

PDE-constrained optimization problems under the influence of perturbation parameters are considered. A quantitative stability analysis for local optimal solutions is performed. The perturbation directions of greatest impact on an observed quantity are characterized using the singular value decomposition of a certain linear operator. An efficient numerical method is proposed to compute a partial singular value decomposition for discretized problems, with an emphasis on infinite-dimensional parameter and observation spaces. Numerical examples are provided.
