Abstract
In this paper, we consider the approximate pointwise control of a linear parabolic system with multiple targets. The location of the pointwise controls are constrained and we assume hierarchy among the objectives, Optimality conditions are derived for a particular test problem and numerical results are presented. This paper follows the earlier investigation (Kearsley, 2011).
