Abstract

An integral state-constrained optimal control problem governed by an elliptic partial differential equation and its finite element approximation are considered. The finite element approximation is constructed on multimeshes. An $L^2$-norm a priori error estimate of the finite element approximation is obtained. Further, some superconvergence results are proved. Based on these superconvergence results, almost optimal $L^\infty$-norm error estimates are derived. Some recovery algorithms are then proposed to produce a posteriori error estimators of gradient type. To solve the finite element system, a simple and yet efficient iterative gradient projection algorithm is proposed and its convergence rate is proved. Some numerical examples are performed to confirm theoretical analysis.
