Abstract

In this work, we develop an adaptive algorithm for solving elliptic optimal control problems with simultaneously appearing state and control constraints. The algorithm combines a Moreau-Yosida technique for handling state constraints with a semi-smooth Newton method for solving the optimality systems of the regularized sub-problems. The state and adjoint variables are discretized using continuous piecewise linear finite elements while a variational discretization concept is applied for the control. To perform the adaptive mesh refinements cycle we derive local error estimators which extend the goal-oriented error approach to our setting. The performance of the overall adaptive solver is assessed by numerical examples.
