contents In this paper, we investigate optimal control problems governed by the parabolic interface equation, in which the control acts on the interface. The solution to this problem exhibits low global regularity due to the jump of the coefficient across the interface and the control acting on the interface. Consequently, the traditional finite element method fails to achieve optimal convergence rates when using a uniform mesh. To discretize the problem, we use fully discrete approximations based on the stable generalized finite element method for spatial discretization and the backward Euler scheme for temporal discretization, as well as variational discretization for the control variable. We prove a priori error estimates for the control, state, and adjoint state. Numerical examples are provided to support the theoretical findings.
