This category contains all control problems which are governed by an elliptic partial differential equation.
A second order linear partial differential equation can be written as
.
If the matrix 
is positive or negative definite, the partial differential equation is called elliptic.
An example is the Poisson's equation: 
,
where 
denotes the Laplace operator, 
is the unknown, and the function 
is given.
