Hence, bang-bang solutions will appear. We investigate sufficient secondorder conditions for bang-bang controls, which guarantee local quadratic growth of the objective functional in L1 . In addition, we prove that for controls that are not bang-bang, no such growth can be expected. Finally, we study the finite-element discretization and prove error estimates of bang-bang controls in L1 -norms.}, organization = {The first author was partially supported by the Spanish Ministerio de Economía Industria y Competitividad under research projects MTM2014-57531-P and MTM2017-83185-P.
