Abstract

In this paper, a hybird approximation scheme for an optimal control problem governed by an elliptic equation with random field in its coefficients is considered. The random coefficients are smooth in the physical space and depend on a large number of random variables in the probability space. The necessary and sufficient optimality conditions for the optimal control problem are obtained. The scheme is established to approximate the optimality system through the discretization by using finite volume element method for the spatial space and a sparse grid stochastic collocation method based on the Smolyak approximation for the probability space, respectively. This scheme naturally leads to the discrete solutions of an uncoupled deterministic problem. The existence and uniqueness of the discrete solutions are proved. A priori error estimates are derived for the state, the co-state and the control variables. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate our theoretical results.
