In this paper, by exploiting the special block and sparse structure of the coefficient matrix, we present a new preconditioning strategy for solving large sparse linear systems arising in the time-dependent distributed control problem involving the heat equation with two different functions. First a natural order-reduction is performed, and then the reduced-order linear system of equations is solved by the preconditioned MINRES algorithm with a new preconditioning techniques. The spectral properties of the preconditioned matrix are analyzed. Numerical results demonstrate that the preconditioning strategy for solving the large sparse systems discretized from the time-dependent problems is more effective for a wide range of mesh sizes and the value of the regularization parameter.
