On the Dynamics of Controlled Magnetic Bénard Problem

In this paper, we study the long time behavior of solutions for an optimal control problem associated with the magnetic Bénard problem in a two dimensional bounded domain, achieved through the adjustment of distributed controls. We first construct a quasi-optimal solution for the magnetic Bénard problem characterized by exponential decay over time. We then derive preliminary estimates concerning the extended temporal behavior of all admissible solutions to the magnetic Bénard problem. Next we establish the existence of a solution for the optimal control problem over both finite and infinite time intervals. Additionally, we present the first-order necessary optimality conditions for the finite time interval case. Finally, we establish the long-time decay characteristics of the solutions for the optimal control problem.
