Abstract

In this paper a priori error estimates are derived for full discretization (in space and time) of time-optimal control problems. Various convergence results for the optimal time and the control variable are proved under different assumptions. Especially, the case of bang-bang controls is investigated. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate the results.
