A discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for an optimal control problem related to semilinear parabolic PDE's is examined. The schemes under consideration are discontinuous in time but conforming in space. Convergence of discrete schemes of arbitrary order is proven. In addition, the convergence of discontinuous Galerkin approximations of the associated optimality system to the solutions of the continuous optimality system is shown. The proof is based on stability estimates at arbitrary time points under minimal regularity assumptions, and a discrete compactness argument for discontinuous Galerkin schemes (see Walkington [SINUM (June 2008) (submitted), preprint available at http://www.math.cmu.edu/~noelw], Sects. 3, 4).
