Abstract

In this paper, we present an a posteriori error estimates of semilinear quadratic constrained optimal control problems using triangular mixed finite element methods. The state and co-state are approximated by the order $k\leq 1$ Raviart- Thomas mixed finite element spaces and the control is approximated by piecewise constant element. We derive a posteriori error estimates for the coupled state and control approximations. A numerical example is presented in confirmation of the theory.
