Abstract

This paper is concerned with the numerical solution of optimal control problems for which each optimal control is bang-bang. Especially, the results apply to parabolic boundary control Problems. Starting from a sequence of feasible solutions converging to an optimal control u, a sequence of bang-bang controls converging to u is constructed. Bang-bang approximations of u are desirable for certain numerical reasons. Sequences of arbitrary feasible controls converging to u may be obtained by discretization or by a descent method. Numerical examples are also given.
