Adaptive Semidiscrete Finite Element Methods for Semilinear Parabolic Integrodifferential Optimal Control Problem with Control Constraint

The aim of this work is to study the semidiscrete finite element discretization for a class of semilinear parabolic integrodifferential optimal control problems. We derive a posteriori error estimates in -norm and -norm for both the control and coupled state approximations. Such estimates can be used to construct reliable adaptive finite element approximation for semilinear parabolic integrodifferential optimal control problem. Furthermore, we introduce an adaptive algorithm to guide the mesh refinement. Finally, a numerical example is given to demonstrate the theoretical results.
