From the reviews: "The book gives a comprehensive view of the optimization of systems governed by partial differential equations of elliptic type. … The book is carefully written. Basic tools of convex analysis, an abstract optimization theory, notions on the well-posedness of elliptic systems, and the existence results for optimal control problems are presented in a simple way. … The book will therefore be useful for confirmed researchers as well as students willing to enter in the field. One could even teach a graduate course by selecting material." (Joseph Frédéric Bonnans, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1106 (8), 2007)
