“The book is quite an interesting supplementary read for people starting to work in the field of PDE-constrained optimal control. More experienced researchers in this field may use it as a source of ideas for explaining things while teaching about PDE-constrained optimization.” (Volker H. Schulz, SIAM Review, Vol. 61 (2), 2019)

• 1. Introduction.- 2. Problem formulation.- 3. Shallow water equations.- 4. Aspects of the numerical solution.- 5. Optimisation methods.- 6. Mesh independent optimisation in 1-D .- 7. Mesh-dependence for Poisson constrained problem.- Index.
