Abstract

In this paper, we propose an efficient numerical method for the optimal control problem constrained by elliptic equations. Being approximated by the finite element method (FEM), the continuous optimal control problem is discretized into a finite dimensional optimization problem with separable structures. Furthermore, an alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) is applied to solve the discretization problem. The total convergence analysis which includes the discretization error by FEM and iterative error by ADMM is established. Finally, numerical simulations are presented to verify the efficiency of the proposed method.
