We give a singular optimality system for the control of the coupled (ill-posed) forward–backward heat problem using both the classical penalization method and the low-regret method of Lions (1992).
For the first method, we add the Slater hypothesis on the admissible closed convex set of controls
ad, while with the low-regret control method, we do not need this hypothesis.
