contents We investigate the geometric structure of adjoint systems associated with evolutionary partial differential equations at the fully continuous, semi-discrete, and fully discrete levels and the relations between these levels. We show that the adjoint system associated with an evolutionary partial differential equation has an infinite-dimensional Hamiltonian structure, which is useful for connecting the fully continuous, semi-discrete, and fully discrete levels. We subsequently address the question of discretize-then-optimize versus optimize-then-discrete for both semi-discretization and time integration, by characterizing the commutativity of discretize-then-optimize methods versus optimize-then-discretize methods uniquely in terms of an adjoint-variational quadratic conservation law. For Galerkin semi-discretizations and one-step time integration methods in particular, we explicitly construct these commuting methods by using structure-preserving discretization techniques.
