Abstract

In this paper, we analyze the superconvergence of the bilinear constrained elliptic optimal control problem by triangular Raviart-Thomas mixed finite element methods. The state and the co-state are approximated by the order k=1 Raviart-Thomas mixed finite elements and the control is approximated by piecewise constant functions. We obtain the superconvergence property between average L^2 projection and the approximation of the control variable, and the convergence order is h^2. Two numerical examples are presented for illustrating the superconvergence results.
