Adaptive discontinuous Galerkin methods for state constrained optimal control problems governed by convection diffusion equations / Hamdullah Yücel, Peter Benner

Abstract

Abstract: We study a posteriori error estimates for the numerical approximations of state constrained optimal control problems governed by convection diffusion equations, regularized by Moreau-Yosida and Lavrentiev-based techniques. The upwind Symmetric Interior Penalty Galerkin (SIPG) method is used as a discontinuous Galerkin (DG) discretization method. We derive different residual-based error indicators for each regularization technique due to the regularity issues. An adaptive mesh refinement indicated by a posteriori error estimates is applied. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the adaptivity for both regularization techniques.
