I am currently reading the paper [1]. The paper deals with the BVP: \begin{align*} \partial_t u - \Delta u + u(u-a) = -qu \text{ in } ]0,T[ \times \Omega \\ \partial_{n}u = 0 \text{ in } ]0,T[ \times \partial \Omega\\ u(0) = u_0 \text{ in } \{0\} \times \Omega \end{align*}

where $u$ is the state, $q$ is the control and $u=S(q)$ the sol. operator.

To derive second-order optimality conditions, the authors calculate second-order derivatives $S''(q)[p,p]$, as the solution $v_{pp}$ to the BVP: \begin{align*} \partial_{t} v_{pp} - \Delta v_{pp} + (2u + q - a)\cdot v_{pp} = -2v_p(v_p+p)\text{ in } \Omega_T \\ \partial_{n} v_{pp} = 0 \text{ in } \Sigma_{T} \\ v_{pp}(0) = 0 \text{ in } \Omega \end{align*} (Here $v_{p}=S'(q)(p)$)

And they reference [2]. Unfortunately, in [2], Thm. 5.16. the authors don't deal with mixed terms, like $-q\cdot u$. They consider only problems of the type: \begin{align*} \partial_t u - \Delta u +d(x,t,u) = q \text{ in } \Omega_T\\ \partial_{n} u = 0 \text{ in } \Sigma_T \\ u(0) = u_0 \text{ in } \Omega \end{align*} That's why this is not directly applicable. Also the form of the BVP does not match the result of Thm. 5.16. So I am having the feeling that something else was used. I would be very grateful for any help or Ansatz to handle this.

Thanks in advance !
