A Priori Error Estimates for Finite Element Methods for H (2,1)-Elliptic Equations

The convergence of finite element methods for linear elliptic boundary value problems of second and forth order is well understood. In this article, we introduce finite element approximations of some linear semi-elliptic boundary value problem of mixed order on a two-dimensional rectangular domain Q. The equation is of second order in one direction and forth order in the other and appears in the optimal control of parabolic partial differential equations if one eliminates the control and the state (or the adjoint state) in the first order optimality conditions. We establish a regularity result and estimate for the finite element error of conforming approximations of this equation. The finite elements in use have a tensor product structure, in one dimension we use linear, quadratic or cubic Lagrange elements in the other dimension cubic Hermite elements. For these elements, we prove the error bound O(h ² + τ ^k ) in the energy norm and O((h ² + τ ^k )(h ² + τ)) in the L ²(Q)-norm.     

Decoupled Mixed Element Methods for Fourth Order Elliptic Optimal Control Problems with Control Constraints

In this paper, we study the finite element methods for distributed optimal control problems governed by the biharmonic operator. Motivated from reducing the regularity of solution space, we use the decoupled mixed element method which was used to approximate the solution of biharmonic equation to solve the fourth order optimal control problems. Two finite element schemes, i.e., Lagrange conforming element combined with full control discretization and the nonconforming Crouzeix-Raviart element combined with variational control discretization, are used to discretize the decoupled optimal control system. The corresponding a priori error estimates are derived under appropriate norms which are then verified by extensive numerical experiments.     

A Priori Error Estimates for Obstacle Optimal Control Problem,Where the Obstacle Is the Control Itself

In this paper we deal with the convergence analysis of the finite element method for an elliptic penalized unilateral obstacle optimal control problem where the control and the obstacle coincide. Error estimates are established for both state and control variables. We apply a fixed point type iteration method to solve the discretized problem.To corroborate our error estimations and the efficiency of our algorithms, the convergence results and numerical experiments are illustrated by concrete examples.

A Priori Error Estimates for Least-Squares Mixed Finite Element Approximation of Elliptic Optimal Control Problems

In this paper, a constrained distributed optimal control problem governed by a first-order elliptic system is considered. Least-squares mixed finite element methods, which are not subject to the Ladyzhenkaya-Babuska-Brezzi consistency condition, are used for solving the elliptic system with two unknown state variables. By adopting the Lagrange multiplier approach, continuous and discrete optimality systems including a primal state equation, an adjoint state equation, and a variational inequality for the optimal control are derived, respectively. Both the discrete state equation and discrete adjoint state equation yield a symmetric and positive definite linear algebraic system. Thus, the popular solvers such as preconditioned conjugate gradient (PCG) and algebraic multi-grid (AMG) can be used for rapid solution. Optimal a priori error estimates are obtained, respectively, for the control function in $L^2(Ω)$-norm, for the original state and adjoint state in $H^1(Ω)$-norm, and for the flux state and adjoint flux state in $H$(div; $Ω$)-norm. Finally, we use one numerical example to validate the theoretical findings.

On the Error Estimates for the Finite Element Approximation of a Class of Boundary Optimal Control Systems

In this article, we consider an application of the abstract error estimate for a class of optimal control systems described by a linear partial differential equation (as stated in Numer. Funct. Anal. Optim. 2009; 30:523–547). The control is applied at the boundary and we consider both, Neumann and Dirichlet optimal control problems. Finite element methods are proposed to approximate the optimal control considering an approximation of the variational inequality resulting from the optimality conditions; this approach is known as classical one. We obtain optimal order error estimates for the control variable and numerical examples, taken from the literature, are included to illustrate the results.     

Spectral Optimization Methods for the Time Fractional Diffusion Inverse Problem

An inverse problem of reconstructing the initial condition for a time fractional diffusion equation is investigated. On the basis of the optimal control framework, the uniqueness and first order necessary optimality condition of the minimizer for the objective functional are established, and a time-space spectral method is proposed to numerically solve the resulting minimization problem. The contribution of the paper is threefold: 1) a priori error estimate for the spectral approximation is derived; 2) a conjugate gradient optimization algorithm is designed to efficiently solve the inverse problem; 3) some numerical experiments are carried out to show that the proposed method is capable to find out the optimal initial condition, and that the convergence rate of the method is exponential if the optimal initial condition is smooth.

Error analysis of discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for optimal control problem governed by the transport equation

This article discusses a priori and a posteriori error estimates of discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for optimal control problem governed by the transport equation. We use variational discretization concept to discretize the control variable and discontinuous piecewise linear finite elements to approximate the state and costate variable. Based on the error estimates of discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for the transport equation, we get a priori and a posteriori error estimates for the transport equation optimal control problem. Finally, two numerical experiments are carried out to confirm the theoretical analysis.© 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq 33: 1493–1512, 2017
