A priori \(L^2\)-discretization error estimates for the state in elliptic optimization problems with pointwise inequality state constraints (Q681695): Difference between revisions

The authors consider finite element discretization error estimates for convex elliptic optimal control problems with pointwise inequality constraints on the state. Some duality techniques presented in [\textit{D. Leykekhman} et al., Comput. Optim. Appl. 55, No. 3, 769--802 (2013; Zbl 1272.49049)] for finitely many equality state-constraints are extended to the case of finitely many inequality constraints. The main result is an a priori \(L^2\)-error estimate for the discretization error in the optimal states.
