Communicated by S. GeorgievThe main purpose of this paper is to analyze the convergence and regularity of our proposed algorithm of the finite element methods coupled with a theta time discretization scheme for evolutionary Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations with linear source terms with respect to the Dirichlet boundary conditions (Appl. Math. Comput., 262 (2015), 42.55 ). Also, an optimal error estimate with an asymptotic behavior in uniform norm is given.
