Abstract

In this paper, we investigate a discontinuous Galerkin finite element approximation of non-stationary convection dominated diffusion optimal control problems with control constraints. The state variable is approximated by piecewise linear polynomial space and the control variable is discretized by variational discretization concept. Backward Euler method is used for time discretization. With the help of elliptic reconstruction technique residual type a posteriori error estimates are derived for state variable and adjoint state variable, which can be used to guide the mesh refinement in the adaptive algorithm. Numerical experiment is presented, which indicates the good behaviour of the a posteriori error estimators.
