In this paper, we propose several overlapping domain decomposition preconditioners for solving the unconstrained elliptic optimal control problem, based on the two level additive Schwarz algorithm. We consider the cases with controls on the whole domain and controls from a local subset. The latter case can be viewed as the subproblems when we solve the control-constrained control problem by using semi-smooth Newton method. When the controls act on the whole domain, we construct a symmetric and positive definite preconditioner which is proved to be robust combined with preconditioned MINRES method, and a symmetric and indefinite preconditioner which can be used in the preconditioned GMRES method and shows better numerical performance than the positive definite one. When the controls act on a local subset, we also construct a similar symmetric and indefinite preconditioner, the numerical experiments show its efficiency when combined with preconditioned GMRES method.
