Abstract
In this paper, spectral approximations for distributed optimal control problems governed by the Stokes equation are considered. And the constraint set on velocity is stated with L 2 -norm. Optimality conditions of the continuous and discretized systems are deduced with the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions and a Lagrange multiplier depending on the constraint. To solve the equivalent systems with high accuracy, Galerkin spectral approximations are employed to discretize the constrained optimal control systems. Meanwhile, we adopt a parameter in the pressure approximation space, which also guarantees the inf-sup condition, and study a priori error estimates for the velocity and pressure. Specially, an efficient algorithm based on the Uzawa algorithm is proposed and its convergence results are investigated with rigorous analyses. Numerical experiments are performed to confirm the theoretical results.
