AbstractIn this paper, the Crank-Nicolson linear finite volume element method is applied to solve the distributed optimal control problems governed by a parabolic equation. The optimal convergent orderO(h2+k2) is obtained for the numerical solution in a discreteL2-norm. A numerical experiment is presented to test the theoretical result.

We present a high-order upwind finite volume element method to solve optimal control problems governed by first-order hyperbolic equations. The method is efficient and easy for implementation. Both the semi-discrete error estimates and the fully discrete error estimates are derived. Optimal order error estimates in the sense of $L^{2}$-norm are obtained. Numerical examples are provided to confirm the effectiveness of the method and the theoretical results.
