We prove the existence and uniqueness results to a family of distributed optimal control problems over g for each parameter h > 0, associated to the Newton law (Robin boundary condition), and of another distributed optimal control problem associated to a Dirichlet boundary condition. We generalize for parabolic variational inequalities of the second kind the Mignot’s inequality obtained for elliptic variational inequalities (Mignot, J. Funct. Anal., 22 (1976), 130-185), and we obtain the strictly convexity of a quadratic cost functional through the regularization method for the non-differentiable term in the parabolic variational inequality for each parameter h. We also prove, when h → + ∞, the strong convergence of the optimal controls and states associated to this family of optimal control problems with the Newton law to that of the optimal control problem associated to a Dirichlet boundary condition.II) Moreover, if we consider a parabolic obstacle problem as a system governed by a parabolic variational inequalities of the first kind then we can also obtain the same results of Part I for the existence, uniqueness and convergence for the corresponding distributed optimal control problems.III) If we consider, in the problem given in Part I, a flux on a part of the boundary of a material domain as a control variable (Neumann boundary optimal control problem) for a system governed by a parabolic variational inequality of second kind then we can also obtain the existence and uniqueness results for Neumann boundary optimal control problems for each parameter h > 0, but in this case the convergence when h → + ∞ is still an open problem. %G English %Z TC 7 %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01347525/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01347525/file/978-3-642-36062-6_8_Chapter.pdf %L hal-01347525 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01347525 %~ UNIV-ST-ETIENNE %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-AICT %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-TC7 %~ IFIP-CSMO %~ IFIP-AICT-391 %~ UDL
