Finite Element Method for Constrained Optimal Control Problems Governed by Nonlinear Elliptic Pdes

چکیده
In this paper, we study the finite element method for constrained optimal control problems governed by nonlinear elliptic PDEs. Instead of the standard error estimates under L2or H1norm, we apply the goal-oriented error estimates in order to avoid the difficulties which are generated by the nonsmoothness of the problem. We derive the a priori error estimates of the goal function, and the error bound is O(h2), which is the same as one for some well known quadratic optimal control problems governed by linear elliptic PDEs. Moreover, two kinds of practical algorithms are introduced to solve the underlying problem. Numerical experiments are provided to confirm our theoretical results.

THE h × p FINITE ELEMENT METHOD FOR OPTIMAL CONTROL PROBLEMS CONSTRAINED BY STOCHASTIC ELLIPTIC PDES
This paper analyzes the h × p version of the finite element method for optimal control problems constrained by elliptic partial differential equations with random inputs. The main result is that the h × p error bound for the control problems subject to stochastic partial differential equations leads to an exponential rate of convergence with respect to p as for the corresponding direct problems...
متن کاملStochastic Galerkin Method for Constrained Optimal Control Problem Governed by an Elliptic Integro-differential Pde with Stochastic Coefficients
In this paper, a stochastic finite element approximation scheme is developed for an optimal control problem governed by an elliptic integro-differential equation with stochastic coefficients. Different from the well-studied optimal control problems governed by stochastic PDEs, our control problem has the control constraints of obstacle type, which is mostly seen in real applications. We develop...
متن کاملAn Adaptive Gradient-dwr Finite Element Algorithm for an Optimal Control Constrained Problem
We present an adaptive finite element algorithm for the numerical approximation of distributed control constrained problems governed by second order elliptic PDEs. The algorithm is based on a suitable co-operation between a gradient type descent numerical scheme and the dual weighted residual (DWR) method. We assess the efficiency of the algorithm on several test problems and compare its perfor...

In this paper, we investigate the rectangular mixed finite element methods for the quadratic convex optimal control problem governed by nonlinear elliptic equations with pointwise control constraints. The state and the co-state are approximated by the lowest order Raviart-Thomas mixed finite element spaces and the control is approximated by piecewise constant functions. We derive L∞-error estim...
متن کاملOn Finite Element Error Estimates for Optimal Control Problems with Elliptic PDEs
Discretizations of optimal control problems for elliptic equations by finite element methods are considered. The problems are subject to constraints on the control and may also contain pointwise state constraints. Some techniques are surveyed to estimate the distance between the exact optimal control and the associated optimal control of the discretized problem. As a particular example, an erro...
