In this paper, we consider semidiscrete splitting positive definite mixed finite element methods for optimal control problems governed by hyperbolic equations with integral constraints. The state and costate are approximated by the lowest order Raviart-Thomas mixed rectangular finite element, and the control is approximated by piecewise constant functions. We derive some convergence and superconvergence results for the control, the state and the adjoint state. A numerical example is provided to demonstrate our theoretical results.

AbstractIn this paper, we investigate the error estimates of mixed finite element methods for optimal control problems governed by general elliptic equations. The state and co-state are approximated by the lowest order Raviart-Thomas mixed finite element spaces and the control variable is approximated by piecewise constant functions. We derive L2 and H–1-error estimates both for the control variable and the state variables. Finally, a numerical example is given to demonstrate the theoretical results.

AbstractA posteriori error estimates of semidiscrete mixed finite element methods for quadratic optimal control problems involving linear parabolic equations are developed. The state and co-state are discretised by Raviart-Thomas mixed finite element spaces of order k, and the control is approximated by piecewise polynomials of order k (k ≥ 0). We derive our a posteriori error estimates for the state and the control approximations via a mixed elliptic reconstruction method. These estimates seem to be unavailable elsewhere in the literature, although they represent an important step towards developing reliable adaptive mixed finite element approximation schemes for the control problem.

AbstractIn this paper, a priori error estimates are derived for the mixed finite element discretization of optimal control problems governed by fourth order elliptic partial differential equations. The state and co-state are discretized by Raviart-Thomas mixed finite element spaces and the control variable is approximated by piecewise constant functions. The error estimates derived for the state variable as well as those for the control variable seem to be new. We illustrate with a numerical example to confirm our theoretical results.

AbstractIn this paper, we investigate the superconvergence results for optimal control problems governed by parabolic equations with semidiscrete mixed finite element approximation. We use the lowest order mixed finite element spaces to discrete the state and costate variables while use piecewise constant function to discrete the control variable. Superconvergence estimates for both the state variable and its gradient variable are obtained.
