The optimality system for boundary controlled unsteady Burgers equation is transformed after linearization into a biharmonic equation in the space–time domain. It is then discretized in space and time simultaneously, so that standard finite element software can be easily implemented. Numerical experiments with and without control constraint problems confirm the applicability of this approach.
