In this talk, we will present the Dirichlet-Neumann and Neumann-Neumann methods with a time domain decomposition applied to unconstrained parabolic optimal control problems. Unlike the previous talk given at DD27, we are going to explore more about these two methods based on the forward-backward structure of the optimality system. Variants can be found for both Dirichlet-Neumann and Neumann-Neumann methods. Some of these variants are only good smoothers, while others could lead to efficient solvers.
