Bergounioux, Maïtine; Ito, Kazufumi; Kunisch, Karl Primal-dual strategy for constrained optimal control problems. (English) Zbl 0937.49017 SIAM J. Control Optimization 37, No. 4, 1176-1194 (1999). This paper introduces an active set strategy for the solution of linear-quadratic elliptic optimal control problems with simple control constraints. The algorithm is motivated by a set of optimality conditions derived using convex analysis. In the algorithm, arbitrary many constraints can be added to or removed from the active set from one iteration to the next. The iterates are allowed to be infeasible with respect to the control constraints. Convergence analyses for the infinite dimensional problem as well as for the discretized problem are presented. Numerical examples are given.
