Finite Element Approximation and Input Parameterization for the Optimal Control of Current Profiles in Tokamak Plasmas

In this paper, we consider a simplified dynamic model describing the evolution of the poloidal flux during the ramp-up phase of the tokamak discharge. We first use the Galerkin method to obtain a finite-dimensional model based on the original PDE system. Then, we apply the control parameterization m...
