Abstract

In this paper, we investigate a stochastic spline-collocation approximation scheme for an optimal control problem governed by an elliptic PDE with random field coefficients. We

obtain the necessary and sufficient optimality conditions for the optimal control problem and establish a scheme to approximate the optimality system through the discretization with respect

to the spatial space by finite elements method and the probability space by stochastic splinecollocation method. We further investigate Smolyak approximation schemes, which are effective

collocation strategies for smooth problems that depend on a moderately large number of random variables. For more general control problems where the state may be non-smooth with respect

to the random variables in some areas, we adopt a domain decomposition strategy to partition the random space into smooth and non-smooth parts and then apply Smolyak scheme and spline

approximation respectively. 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.
