✦ Synopsis

We present an optimization-level domain decomposition (DD) preconditioner for the solution of advection dominated elliptic linearquadratic optimal control problems, which arise in many science and engineering applications. The DD preconditioner is based on a decomposition of the optimality conditions for the elliptic linear-quadratic optimal control problem into smaller subdomain optimality conditions with Dirichlet boundary conditions for the states and the adjoints on the subdomain interfaces. These subdomain optimality conditions are coupled through Robin transmission conditions for the states and the adjoints. The parameters in the Robin transmission condition depend on the advection. This decomposition leads to a Schur complement system in which the unknowns are the state and adjoint variables on the subdomain interfaces. The Schur complement operator is the sum of subdomain Schur complement operators, the application of which is shown to correspond to the solution of subdomain optimal control problems, which are essentially smaller copies of the original optimal control problem. We show that, under suitable conditions, the application of the inverse of the subdomain Schur complement operators requires the solution of a subdomain elliptic linear-quadratic optimal control problem with Robin boundary conditions for the state.

Numerical tests for problems with distributed and with boundary control show that the dependence of the preconditioners on mesh size and subdomain size is comparable to its counterpart applied to a single advection dominated equation. These tests also show that the preconditioners are insensitive to the size of the control regularization parameter.
