Abstract
We consider an optimal control problem governed by a semilinear PDE in cases where the optimal control is of bang-bang type. By utilizing the theory of Bessel potential space, we characterize quadratic growth of the objective via a second-order optimality condition. In contrast to previous contributions, our method of proof works in arbitrary spatial dimensions.
