A theoretical framework for the numerical solution of partial differential equation (PDE) constrained optimization problems is presented in this report. This theoretical framework embodies the fundamental infrastructure required to efficiently implement and solve this class of problems. Detail derivations of the optimality conditions required to accurately solve several parameter identification and optimal control problems are also provided in this report. This will allow the reader to further understand how the theoretical abstraction presented in this report translates to the application.
