Summary: To study the domain decomposition algorithms for the equations of elliptic type, the method of optimal boundary control was used to advance a new procedure for domain decomposition algorithms and regularization method to deal with the ill-posedness of the control problem. The determination of the value of the solution of the partial differential equation on the interface – the key of the domain decomposition algorithms – was transformed into a boundary control problem and the ill-posedness of the control problem was overcome by regularization. The convergence of the regularizing control solution was proven and the equations which characterize the optimal control were given therefore the value of the unknown solution on the interface of the domain would be obtained by solving a series of coupling equations. Using the boundary control method the domain decomposition algorithm can be carried out.
