Abstract

Abstract This article discusses the quasi-optimality of adaptive nonconforming finite element methods for distributed optimal control problems governed by 𝑚-harmonic operators for m = 1 , 2 m=1,2 . A variational discretization approach is employed and the state and adjoint variables are discretized using nonconforming finite elements. Error equivalence results at the continuous and discrete levels lead to a priori and a posteriori error estimates for the optimal control problem. The general axiomatic framework that includes stability, reduction, discrete reliability, and quasi-orthogonality establishes the quasi-optimality. Numerical results demonstrate the theoretically predicted orders of convergence and the efficiency of the adaptive estimator.
