Abstract
We propose in this paper a multilevel correction method to solve optimal control problems constrained by elliptic equations with the finite element method. In this scheme, solving an optimization problem on the finest finite element space is transformed into a series of solutions of linear boundary value problems by the multigrid method on multilevel meshes and a series of solutions of optimization problems on the coarsest finite element space. Our proposed scheme, instead of solving a large scale optimization problem in the finest finite element space, solves only a series of linear boundary value problems and the optimization problems in a very low dimensional finite element space, and thus can improve the overall efficiency of the solution of optimal control problems governed by PDEs.
