A class of optimal control problems governed by semilinear parabolic equations with mixed constraints and a box constraint for control variable is considered. We show that if the so-called generalized separation condition is satisfied, then both optimality conditions of KKT-type and regularity of multipliers are fulfilled. Moreover, we show that if the initial value is good enough and boundary ∂Ω has a property of positive geometric density, then multipliers and optimal solutions are Hölder continuous.
