Abstract

In this paper, the Crank-Nicolson linear finite volume element method is applied to solve the distributed optimal control problems governed by a parabolic equation. The optimal convergent order O(h2+k2) is obtained for the numerical solution in a discrete L2-norm. A numerical experiment is presented to test the theoretical result.
