Abstract

In this paper, we study adaptive finite element approximation in the backward Euler scheme for a constrained optimal control problem by parabolic equations on multi-meshes. The control constraint is given in an integral sense: $K = \{u(t) ∈ L^2( Ω) : a ≤ ∫_ Ω u(t) ≤ b\}$. We derive equivalent a posteriori error estimates with lower and upper bounds for both the state and the control approximation, which are used as indicators in adaptive multi-meshes finite element scheme. The error estimates are then implemented and tested with promising numerical experiments.
