A non-overlapping DDM for optimal boundary control problems governed by parabolic equations (Q2422359): Difference between revisions

The authors consider a non-overlapping domain decomposition method for solving optimal boundary control problems governed by parabolic equations. The spatial domain is divided into non-overlapping subdomains, and the global optimal boundary control problem is decomposed into the local problems in these subdomains. The integral mean method is used to present an explicit flux calculation on the inter-domain boundary in order to communicate the local problems on the interface between subdomains. The fully parallel and discrete schemes for solving these local problems are established. A priori error estimates in \(L^2\)-norm are derived for the state, co-state and control variables. Some numerical tests are presented to support the theoretical results.
