A New HDG Method for Dirichlet Boundary Control of Convection Diffusion PDEs II: Low Regularity

Abstract

In the first part of this work, we analyzed an unconstrained Dirichlet boundary control problem for an elliptic convection diffusion PDE and proposed a new hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) method to approximate the solution. For the case of a 2D convex polygonal domain, we also proved an optimal superlinear convergence rate for the control under certain assumptions on the domain and on the target state. In this work, we revisit the convergence analysis without these assumptions; in this case, the solution can have low regularity, and we use a different analysis approach. We again prove an optimal convergence rate for the control and present numerical results to illustrate the convergence theory.
