Abstract

A stochastic Galerkin approximation scheme is proposed for an optimal control problem governed by a parabolic PDE with random perturbation in its coefficients. The objective functional is to minimize the expectation of a cost functional, and the deterministic control is of the obstacle constrained type. We obtain the necessary and sufficient optimality conditions and establish a scheme to approximate the optimality system through the discretization with respect to both the spatial space and the probability space by Galerkin method and with respect to time by the backward Euler scheme. A priori error estimates are derived for the state, the co-state and the control variables. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate our theoretical results.
