Abstract We investigate a P 1 P_{1} finite element method for an elliptic distributed optimal control problem with pointwise state constraints and a state equation that includes advective/convective and reactive terms. The convergence of this method can be established for general polygonal/polyhedral domains that are not necessarily convex. The discrete problem is a strictly convex quadratic program with box constraints that can be solved efficiently by a primal-dual active set algorithm.

We consider the regularization of classical optimality conditions in a convex optimal control problem for a linear system of ordinary differential equations with pointwise state constraints such as equality and inequality, understood as constraints in the Hilbert space of square-integrable functions. The set of admissible task controls is traditionally embedded in the space of square-integrable functions. However, the target functional of the optimization problem is not, generally speaking, strongly convex. Obtaining regularized classical optimality conditions is based on a technique involving the use of two regularization parameters. One of them is used for the regularization of the dual problem, while the other is contained in a strongly convex regularizing addition to the target functional of the original problem. The main purpose of the obtained regularized Lagrange principle and the Pontryagin maximum principle is the stable generation of minimizing approximate solutions in the sense of J. Varga for the purpose of practical solving the considered optimal control problem with pointwise state constraints.

We design and analyze a Morley finite element method for an elliptic distributed optimal control problem with pointwise state and control constraints on convex polygonal domains. It is based on the formulation of the optimal control problem as a fourth order variational inequality. Numerical results that illustrate the performance of the method are also presented.
