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 \sum^n_{i,j=1} a_{i,j} \frac{\partial^2}{\partial x_i \partial x_j} +\quad \textrm{ lower-order terms} = 0. If A=(a_{i,j})_{i,j} is positive or negative definite, the partial differential equation is called elliptic. An example is the Poisson's equation: -\Delta u = f, where \Delta denotes the Laplace operator, u is the unknown, and the function f given.
