Description
In this paper, we study an inverse problem of estimating three discontinuous parameters in a double phase implicit obstacle problem with multivalued terms and mixed boundary conditions which is formulated by a regularized optimal control problem. Under very general assumptions, we introduce a multivalued function called a parameter-to-solution map which admits weakly compact values. Then, by employing the Aubin-Cellina convergence theorem and the theory of nonsmooth analysis, we prove that the parameter-to-solution map is bounded and continuous in the sense of Kuratowski. Finally, a generalized regularization framework for the inverse problem is developed and a new existence theorem is provided.
