In this paper, the time-optimal control problem for parabolic systems in which time lags appear in the integral form both in the state equation and in the Neumann boundary condition is presented. The particular properties of the optimal control are discussed.
Keywords: time-optimal problem; retarded parabolic systems; Neumann boundary conditions.
