Abstract

In this work, we present numerical analysis for a distributed optimal control problem, with box constraint on the control, governed by a subdiffusion equation which involves a fractional derivative of order α ∈ (0;1) in time. The fully discrete scheme is obtained by applying the conforming linear Galerkin finite element method in space, L1 scheme/backward Euler convolution quadrature in time, and the control variable by a variational type discretization. With a space mesh size h and time stepsize t, we establish the following order of convergence for the numerical solutions of the optimal control problem O(t^{(min(1/2+α-ε, 1)} +h²) in the discrete L²(0;T;L²(Ω)) norm and O(t^{α-ε} + l^{2/h}h²) in the discrete L∞(0;T;L²(Ω)) norm, with any small ε > 0 and l_{h} = ln(2+1/h). The analysis relies essentially on the maximal Lp-regularity and its discrete analogue for the subdiffusion problem. Numerical experiments are provided to support the theoretical results.
