Stability estimates of solutions of control problems for stationary equations of magnetohydrodynamics

In recent years, much attention has been given to optimal control problems
for flows of viscous electrically conducting fluids. The study of these
problems was motivated by the necessity of the most effective control mechanisms
for hydrodynamic processes in such fluids. A rigorous theoretical study
of these problems can be found, for example, in [1-4].

Along with optimal control problems, an important role is played by identification
problems for MHD models. In the latter problems, the unknown coefficients involved
in the differential equations or in the boundary conditions for the model in question
are determined from additional data on the solution. Note that identification
problems can be reduced to optimization problems with a suitable choice
of the minimized cost functional. In [4] this approach was used to analyze the
solvability, uniqueness and stability of solutions to identification
problems for models of magnetohydrodynamics of viscous incompressible fluid.

In this paper  identification problems for the stationary magnetohydrodynamic (MHD)
model governing a flow of a viscous electrically-conducting fluid are stated and analyzed.
This model consists of the Navier-Stokes equations, the generalized Ohm law,
and the stationary Maxwell equations without displacement currents,
considered under Dirichlet boundary condition for the velocity
and mixed boundary conditions for the electromagnetic field.
The solvability of the problem is proved,
an optimality system is derived, and sufficient conditions on the initial data
are established that ensure the uniqueness and stability of the solution.
