Adaptive finite element method for an elliptic optimal control problem with integral state constraints

Abstract: In this article, we develop a posteriori error analysis of a nonconforming finite element method for a linear quadratic elliptic distributed optimal control problem with two different set of constraints, namely (i) integral state constraint and integral control constraint (ii) integral state constraint and pointwise control constraints. In the analysis, we have taken the approach of reducing the state-control constrained minimization problem into a state minimization problem obtained by eliminating the control variable. The reliability and efficiency of a posteriori error estimator are discussed. Numerical results are reported to illustrate the behavior of the error estimator.
