Abstract
In this paper, we propose a mixed variational scheme for optimal control problems with point-wise state constraints, the main idea is to reformulate the optimal control problems to a constrained minimization problem involving only the state, which is characterized by a fourth order variational inequality. Then mixed form based on this fourth order variational inequality is formulated and a direct numerical algorithm is proposed without the optimality conditions of underlying optimal control problems. The a priori and a posteriori error estimates are proved for the mixed finite element scheme. Numerical experiments confirm the efficiency of the new strategy.
