Pointwise elimination of the control leads to a homotopy in the remaining state and dual variables, which is addressed by a short step pathfollowing method. The algorithm is applied to the continuous, infinite dimensional problem, where discretization is performed only in the innermost loop when solving linear equations. The a priori elimination of the least regular control permits to obtain the required accuracy with comparable coarse meshes. Convergence of the method and discretization errors are studied, and the method is illustrated at two numerical examples.}, language = {en} } @misc{Schiela2007, author = {Schiela, Anton}, title = {Barrier Methods for Optimal Control Problems with State Constraints}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:0297-zib-9504}, number = {07-07}, year = {2007}, abstract = {We study barrier methods for state constrained optimal control problems with PDEs.

This recently proposed method is a primal interior point pathfollowing scheme with the special feature, that the control variable is eliminated from the optimality system. Apart from global linear convergence we show, that this method converges locally almost quadratically, if the optimal solution satisfies a function space analogue to a non-degeneracy condition. In numerical experiments we observe, that a prototype implementation of our method behaves in compliance with our theoretical results.}, language = {en} } @misc{WeiserSchiela2004, author = {Weiser, Martin and Schiela, Anton}, title = {Function space interior point methods for PDE constrained optimization}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:0297-zib-8027}, number = {04-27}, year = {2004}, abstract = {A primal-dual interior point method for optimal control problems with PDE constraints is considered.
