Summary: The objective of this work is to investigate the numerical solution, through the finite element method with Lagrange's triangles of type 1, of a continuous optimal control problem governed by an elliptic variational inequality, where the control variable is the internal energy \(g\). The existence and uniqueness of this continuous optimal control problem and its associated state system were proved previously. In this paper, we discretize the elliptic variational inequality which defines the state system and the corresponding cost functional, and we prove that there exist a discrete optimal control and its associated discrete state system for each positive \(h\) (the parameter of the finite element method approximation). Finally, we show that the discrete optimal control and its associated state system converge to the continuous optimal control and its associated state system when the parameter \(h\) goes to zero.
