Abstract

A second-order leapfrog finite difference scheme in time is proposed to solve the first-order necessary optimality systems arising from parabolic optimal control problems. Different from classical approximation, the proposed leapfrog scheme appears to be unconditionally stable. More importantly, the developed leapfrog scheme provides a well-structured discrete algebraic system and allows us to establish a fast linear solver under the multigrid framework. The unconditional stability of the scheme is proved under the L2 norm. Numerical results show that our presented scheme significantly outperforms the widely used Crank-Nicolson scheme and the resultant fast solver demonstrates a mesh-independent convergence rate as well as a desirable feature of linear time complexity.
