We will investigate the superconvergence for the semidiscrete finite element approximation of distributed convex optimal control problems governed by semilinear parabolic equations. The state and costate are approximated by the piecewise linear functions and the control is approximated by piecewise constant functions. We present the superconvergence analysis for both the control variable and the state variables.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
