Abstract

Optimal control problems constrained by partial differential equations arise in a multitude of important applications. They lead mostly to the solution of very large scale algebraic systems to be solved, which must be done by iterative methods. The problems should then be formulated so that they can be solved fast and robust, which requires the construction of an efficient preconditioner. After reduction of a variable, a two-by-two block matrix system with square blocks arises for which such a preconditioner, PRESB is presented, involving the solution of two algebraic systems which are a linear combination of the matrix blocks. These systems can be solved by inner iterations, involving some available classical solvers to some relative, not very demanding tolerance.
