Review text

After reviewing carefully known methods and results on numerical approximation of control and state constrained elliptic control problems (Chapters 2 and 3) the author applies a mixed finite element method to necessary and sufficient conditions of such problems. In Chapter 4 error estimates are derived under different conditions for the obstacles and for the boundaries of the domains for the case of control constrained problems. Chapter 5 deals with estimations for the state constrained case. The last chapter gives interesting remarks about the used approximation schemes with respect to convergence order, other kinds of discretizations, extensions of the methods and to efficient computational methods in order to solve such problems numerically.
