Abstract

We investigate numerically a triquadratic \(C^0\) interior penalty method for elliptic distributed optimal control problems in three dimensions with pointwise state constraints, which is based on the formulation of these problems as fourth order variational inequalities. We obtain numerical results that are similar to the ones reported in [7, 8] for fourth order variational inequalities in two dimensions. The deal.II library [1, 2] is used for the numerical experiments.
