New methods for solving optimal control problems associated to nonlinear partial differential equations are explored in this work. After transforming the problem into an optimization problem, a fast algorithm is proposed for obtaining global solutions of large scale optimization systems. An example is presented as well as a numerical simulation for illustrating the efficiency of the algorithm.
