Error estimates for the numerical approximation of a distributed optimal control problem governed by the von Kármán equations
ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis , Tome 52 (2018) no. 3, pp. 1137-1172.

In this paper, we discuss the numerical approximation of a distributed optimal control problem governed by the von Kármán equations, defined in polygonal domains with point-wise control constraints. Conforming finite elements are employed to discretize the state and adjoint variables. The control is discretized using piece-wise constant approximations. A priori error estimates are derived for the state, adjoint and control variables. Numerical results that justify the theoretical results are presented.
