Extended finite element methods for optimal control problems governed by Poisson equation in non-convex domains

This paper analyzes two eXtended finite element methods (XFEMs) for linear quadratic optimal control problems governed by Poisson equation in non-convex domains. We follow the variational discretization concept to discretize the continuous problems, and apply an XFEM with a cut-off function and a classic XFEM with a fixed enrichment area to discretize the state and co-state equations. Optimal error estimates are derived for the state, co-state and control. Numerical results confirm our theoretical results.

An interface-unfitted finite element method for elliptic interface optimal control problem

This paper develops and analyses numerical approximation for linear-quadratic optimal control problem governed by elliptic interface equations. We adopt variational discretization concept to discretize optimal control problem, and apply an interface-unfitted finite element method due to [A. Hansbo and P. Hansbo. An unfitted finite element method, based on Nitsche's method, for elliptic interface problems. Comput. Methods Appl. Mech. Engrg., 191(47-48): 5537-5552, 2002] to discretize corresponding state and adjoint equations, where piecewise cut basis functions around interface are enriched into standard conforming finite element space. Optimal error estimates in both $L^2$ norm and a mesh-dependent norm are derived for optimal state, co-state and control under different regularity assumptions. Numerical results verify the theoretical results.
