Abstract

We examine an elliptic optimal control problem with control and state constraints inℝ3. An improved error estimate of 𝒪(hs) with 3/4 ≤ s ≤ 1 − ε is proven for a discretisationinvolving piecewise constant functions for the control and piecewise linear for the state.The derived order of convergence is illustrated by a numerical example.
