  • Abstract
    In this paper, we investigate a posteriori error estimates for variational discretization and mixed finite element approximation of optimal control problems governed by elliptic equation. Our results are based on the approximation for both the coupled state variables and the control variable. We propose to improve the error estimates, which can be used to construct an adaptive finite element scheme. Finally, we present a numerical example which confirm our theoretical results.
