Abstract
In this paper, we consider a minimax problem of optimal control for a class of strongly nonlinear uncertain evolution equations on a Banach space. We prove the existence of optimal controls. A nontrivial example of a class of systems governed by a nonlinear partial differential equation with uncertain spatial parameters is presented for illustration.
