Abstract

We study [Formula presented] interior penalty methods for an elliptic optimal control problem with pointwise state constraints on two dimensional convex polygonal domains. The approximation of the optimal state is obtained by solving a fourth order variational inequality and the approximation of the optimal control is computed by a post-processing procedure. We prove the convergence of numerical solutions with rates in the [Formula presented]-like energy error by using the complementarity form of the variational inequality. Furthermore, we develop an a posteriori analysis for a residual based error estimator and introduce an adaptive algorithm. Numerical experiments are provided to gauge the performance of the proposed methods.
