On the optimal control of coefficients in elliptic problems. Application to the optimization of the head slider
ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations, Tome 11 (2005) no. 1, pp. 102-121.

We consider an optimal control problem for a class of non-linear elliptic equations. A result of existence and uniqueness of the state equation is proven under weaker hypotheses than in the literature. We also prove the existence of an optimal control. Applications to some lubrication problems and numerical results are given.
