Review
From the reviews:
"This text provides a comprehensive introduction to several techniques for the numerical computation of control problems governed by (mainly elliptic) partial differential equations (PDE). ... The pseudo-code is clear and well documented ... . This book is most suited for graduate students in applied mathematics, numerical analysis or control engineering." (Andrew C. Eberhard, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1056 (7), 2005)
