      <title>1. Introduction</title>
      <p>In recent years, interest in the study of inverse and control problems for heat and mass transfer
models has only increased. Note the works [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13] devoted to the theoretical
analysis of these problems. In these papers, the solvability of boundary value, inverse and extremum
problems for the indicated models was studied, and the questions of uniqueness and stability of
solutions were studied. Related problems for models of complex heat transfer and ferroelectric hysteresis
are studied in [14, 15, 16, 17].</p>
      <p>We also note that applications of control problems are not limited to the search for efective
mechanisms for controlling physical fields in continuous media. Within the framework of the optimization
approach (see [10, 13]), problems of reconstructing unknown functions in the considered models are
reduced to control problems using additional information about solving the corresponding boundary
value problems.</p>
      <p>This paper is devoted to the theoretical and numerical analysis of boundary value and extremum
problems for the reaction-difusion equation, in which the reaction coeficient nonlinearly depends on
the concentration of the substance. In contrast to [7, 6, 8, 9, 10, 13], in this paper the optimality systems
obtained for control problems are used not only to study the stability (and uniqueness) of optimal
solutions. Using these systems, numerical algorithms for solving extreme problems are constructed
and new properties of their solutions are stated.</p>

      <title>2. Boundary value problem</title>
      <p>
        In bounded domain Ω ⊂ ℝ3 with boundary Γ the nonlinear reaction–difusion equation is considered
− div( ( )∇ ) +  (,  ) =  on Ω,  =  on Γ.
(
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref1">1</xref>
        )
Here function  means pollutant substance’s concentration,  is a volume density of external sources
of substance,  ( ) is a difusion coeficient, function  =  (,  ) is a reaction coeficient,  ∈ Ω. This
problem (
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref1">1</xref>
        ) will be called Problem 1 below.
      </p>
      <p>In this paper, we prove the global solvability of Problem 1 and the local uniqueness of its solution
in the case when the nonlinearity  (,  )  is not monotone in the entire domain Ω, as was assumed
in [8]. This allows you to expand the range of mathematical models, the correctness of which we can
justify. For concentration  the principle of minimum and maximum is stated.</p>
      <p>Further, for Problem 1, a control problem is formulated, the role of controls in which is played by
the functions  and  , and its solvability is proved in the general case. Optimality systems are derived
for extreme problems with specific reaction coeficients. Based on the analysis of these systems,
local stability estimates of optimal solutions are derived, numerical algorithms for solving extreme
problems are developed.</p>
      <p>A one-parameter control problem is considered separately, for which regularization is not used.
For this problem, the validity of a stationary analogue of the bang-bang principle is established (see
the meaning of this term below or in [14, 15]).</p>

either the domain Ω or some subset  ⊂ Ω, or the boundary Γ. By ‖ ⋅ ‖, , | ⋅ |, and (⋅, ⋅), we will

          Let in addition to the conditions (i), (ii) and 4,  be a bounded set and let the pair (  ,   ) ∈  1(Ω)× be

        <p>The stability estimates (21)–(23) are interesting by themselves, as they clearly characterize the
local stability of multiplicative control problem’s solution, and the problem has a strong nonlinearity.
Moreover, the optimization approach gives an opportunity to reduce the inverse coeficient problems
to the problems of multiplicative control (see [10]). Let us note that the method, which was used to
obtain these estimates, can be applied also for the studying of convergence of numerical algorithms,
which are used for obtaining an approximate solution of extremum problems and which are based on
using of optimality systems as in [20].</p>

      <title>8. Conclusion</title>
      <p>From (31) it follows that if  &lt; 0 in  1, then  ̂ =  min in  1 and  ̂ =  max in  2, if  &gt; 0 in  2. Note
that interest in the bang–bang property is due to the study of control problems in which, for practical
reasons, regularization is not used. In particular, such a formulation of control problems is used in
the study of applied problems of thermal and electromagnetic cloaking (see, for example, [19]).
It is interesting to note that, on the one hand, a well-developed numerical algorithm for solving the
extremal problem should show that the maximum principle for the concentration  and the bang–
bang principle for the optimal control  are satisfied. On the other hand, these properties can serve as
a criterion for checking numerical algorithms, since they have been correctly proven theoretically. Of
particular interest is the study of the convergence of a numerical algorithm based on the optimality
system from Section 6. In this case, the method for deriving estimates of the local stability of optimal
solutions from Section 5, which is also based on the analysis of the optimality system, can be applied
