Domain Decomposition Methods in Optimal Control of Partial Differential Equations: 148 Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2004 Edition

While domain decomposition methods have a long history dating back well over one hundred years, it is only during the last decade that they have become a major tool in numerical analysis of partial differential equations. This monograph emphasizes domain decomposition methods in the context of so-called virtual optimal control problems and treats optimal control problems for partial differential equations and their decompositions using an all-at-once approach.
