ERROR ESTIMATES OF RT1 MIXED METHODS FOR DISTRIBUTED OPTIMAL CONTROL PROBLEMS

ERROR ESTIMATES OF RT1 MIXED METHODS FOR DISTRIBUTED OPTIMAL CONTROL PROBLEMS

In this paper, we investigate the error estimates of a quadratic elliptic control problem with pointwise control constraints. The state and the co-state variables are approximated by the order k = 1 Raviart-Thomas mixed finite element and the control variable is discretized by piecewise linear but discontinuous functions. Approximations of order $h^{\frac{3}{2}}$ in the $L^2$-norm and order h in the $L^{\infty}$-norm for the control variable are proved.
