Abstract

‎In this paper‎, ‎we study spectral element approximation for a constrained‎ ‎optimal control problem in one dimension‎. ‎The equivalent a posteriori error estimators are derived for‎ ‎the control‎, ‎the state and the adjoint state approximation‎. ‎Such estimators can be used to‎ ‎construct adaptive spectral elements for the control problems.
