Abstract :
We consider a control constrained optimal control problem governed by a semilinear elliptic equation with nonlocal interface conditions. These conditions occur during the modeling of diffuse-gray conductive-radiative heat transfer. After stating first-order necessary conditions, second-order sufficient conditions are derived that account for strongly active sets. These conditions ensure local optimality in a $L^s$-neighborhood whereby the underlying analysis allows to use weaker norms than $L^\infty$.

Keywords : Optimal control, semilinear elliptic equations, nonlocal interface conditions, second-order sufficient optimality conditions
