Microwave heating has been widely used in various fields during recent years. However, it also has a common problem of uneven heating. In this paper, optimal frequency control problem for microwave heating process is considered. The cost function is defined such that the temperature profile at the final stage has a relative uniform distribution in the field. The controlled system is a coupled by Maxwell equations with nonlinear heating equation. The existence of a weak solution for coupled system is proved. The weak continuity of the solution operator is also shown. Moreover, the existence of a global minimizer of the optimal frequency control problems is proved.

Keywords: Optimal frequency control, microwave heating, existence of weak solutions, existence of optimal control, coupled system.
