AbstractIn this paper, we study the mathematical formulation for an optimal control problem governed by a linear parabolic integro-differential equation and present the optimality conditions. We then set up its weak formulation and the finite element approximation scheme. Based on these we derive the a priori error estimates for its finite element approximation both in H1 and L2 norms. Furthermore some numerical tests are presented to verify the theoretical results.

In this paper we investigate a priori error estimates for the space-time Galerkin finite element discretization of a quasilinear gradient enhanced damage model. The model equations are of a special structure as the state equation consists of two quasilinear elliptic PDEs which have to be fulfilled at almost all times coupled with a nonsmooth, semilinear ODE that has to hold true in almost all points in space. The system is discretized by a constant discontinuous Galerkin method in time and usual conforming linear finite elements in space. Numerical experiments are added to illustrate the proven rates of convergence.
