The aim of this work is to study the semidiscrete finite element discretization for a class of semilinear parabolic integrodifferential optimal control problems. We derive a posteriori error estimates inL2(J;L2(Ω))-norm andL2(J;H1(Ω))-norm for both the control and coupled state approximations. Such estimates can be used to construct reliable adaptive finite element approximation for semilinear parabolic integrodifferential optimal control problem. Furthermore, we introduce an adaptive algorithm to guide the mesh refinement. Finally, a numerical example is given to demonstrate the theoretical results.

In this research article, an optimal control problem (OCP) with boundary observations is approximated using finite element method (FEM) with weighted extended B-splines (WEB-splines) as basis functions. This type of OCP has a distinct aspect that the boundary observations are outward normal derivatives of state variables, which decrease the regularity of solution. A meshless FEM is proposed using WEB-splines, defined on the usual grid over the domain, R 2 . The weighted extended B-spline method (WEB method) absorbs the regularity problem as the degree of the B-splines is increased. Convergence analysis is also performed by some numerical examples.

AbstractIn this paper, we study the mathematical formulation for an optimal control problem governed by a linear parabolic integro-differential equation and present the optimality conditions. We then set up its weak formulation and the finite element approximation scheme. Based on these we derive the a priori error estimates for its finite element approximation both in H1 and L2 norms. Furthermore some numerical tests are presented to verify the theoretical results.
