  ABSTRACT: In this paper, we investigate a meshless approximation, the interpolating element-free Galerkin method, for an optimal control problem governed by fourth-order parabolic partial differential equations. The state, co-state and control variables are spatially discretized by an improved moving least squares approximation that satisfies the interpolation property, and time is discretized by a backward-Euler method. We derive some a priori error estimates for both the control and state approximations. Numerical experiments are presented to verify the theoretical results.
