Abstract:

We investigate the discretization of optimal boundary control problems for elliptic equations on two‐dimensional polygonal domains by the boundary concentrated finite element method. We prove that the discretization error u * u h * L 2 ( Γ ) equ1 decreases like N -1, where N is the total number of unknowns. This makes the proposed method favorable in comparison to the h‐version of the finite element method, where the discretization error behaves like N -3/4 for uniform meshes. Moreover, we present an algorithm that solves the discretized problem in almost optimal complexity. The paper is complemented with numerical results.
