  • Abstract

In this paper, we study the finite element methods for distributed optimal control problems governed by the biharmonic operator. Motivated from reducing the regularity of solution space, we use the decoupled mixed element method which was used to approximate the solution of biharmonic equation to solve the fourth order optimal control problems. Two finite element schemes, i.e., Lagrange conforming element combined with full control discretization and the nonconforming Crouzeix-Raviart element combined with variational control discretization, are used to discretize the decoupled optimal control system. The corresponding a priori error estimates are derived under appropriate norms which are then verified by extensive numerical experiments.
