Abstract

In this work we develop an adaptive algorithm for solving elliptic optimal control problems with simultaneously appearing state and control constraints. Building upon the concept proposed in [9] the algorithm applies a Moreau-Yosida regularization technique for handling state constraints. The state and co-state variables are discretized using continuous piecewise linear finite elements while a variational discretization concept is applied for the control. To perform the adaptive mesh refinement cycle we derive local error representations which extend the goal-oriented error approach to our setting. The performance of the overall adaptive solver is demonstrated by a numerical example.
