Abstract

In this paper, we investigate a priori error estimates for the quadratic optimal control problems governed by semilinear elliptic partial differential equations using higher order triangular mixed finite element methods. The state and the co-state are approximated by the order $k$ Raviart-Thomas mixed finite element spaces and the control is approximated by piecewise polynomials of order $k$ ($k\geq 0$). A priori error estimates for the mixed finite element approximation of semilinear control problems are obtained. Finally, we present some numerical examples which confirm our theoretical results.
