Abstract: We consider variational discretization of a parabolic optimal control problem governed by space-time measure controls. For the state discretization we use a Petrov-Galerkin method employing piecewise constant states and piecewise linear and continuous test functions in time. For the space discretization we use piecewise linear and continuous functions. As a result the controls are composed of Dirac measures in space-time, centered at points on the discrete space-time grid. We prove that the optimal discrete states and controls converge strongly in Lq and weakly- in mathcalM, respectively, to their smooth counterparts, where qin(1,min2,1+2/d] is the spatial dimension. Furthermore, we compare our approach to a approach by Casas, E. and Kunisch, K., where the corresponding control problem is discretized employing a discontinuous Galerkin method for the state discretization and where the discrete controls are piecewise constant in time and Dirac measures in space. Numerical experiments highlight the features of our discrete approach.
