Résumé

In this paper, we consider an optimal control problem governed by elliptic differential equations posed in a three-field formulation. Using the gradient as a new unknown we write a weak equation for the gradient using a Lagrange multiplier. We use a biorthogonal system to discretise the gradient, which leads to a very efficient numerical scheme. A numerical example is presented to demonstrate the convergence of the finite element approach. References D. Boffi, F. Brezzi, and M. Fortin. Mixed finite element methods and applications.
