Abstract This paper concerns the adaptive finite element method for elliptic Dirichlet boundary control problems in the energy space. The contribution of this paper is twofold. First, we rigorously derive efficient and reliable a posteriori error estimates for finite element approximations of Dirichlet boundary control problems. As a by-product, a priori error estimates are derived in a simple way by introducing appropriate auxiliary problems and establishing certain norm equivalence. Secondly, for the coupled elliptic partial differential system that resulted from the first-order optimality system, we prove that the sequence of adaptively generated discrete solutions including the control, the state and the adjoint state, guided by our newly derived a posteriori error indicators, converges to the true solution along with the convergence of the error estimators. We give some numerical results to confirm our theoretical findings.
