## Abstract An extension of the authors' previous methods is presented for the optimal control of flood propagation via a dam gate, based on a combination of the finite element and gradient methods. It is assumed in previous papers that the control duration is the same as the duration of the flood.

โฆ Synopsis
The aim of this work is to present a method for finding pointwise control approximations of an optimal control problem with control constraints. The method is oriented to practical applications of the gradient projection method. By applying Euler scheme to the state and costate equations we find a sequence of approximate values of the gradient. Approximate values of the control in the grid points are obtained by projecting on the set of control values. We define a sequence having an accumulation point that is at a distance Ch 1/2 (in L r 2 metric) from the optimal control. Finally, numerical examples are given.
