The cost functional of the optimal control problems consists of three parts： The first part is about integration of the state over the whole time interval, the second part refers to final-time state, and the third part is a regularization term about the control. We discretize the state and co-state by piecewise linear continuous functions, while the control is approximated by piecewise constant functions. Pointwise inequality function constraints on the control are considered, and optimal a L2-norm priori error estimates are obtained. Finally, we give two numerical examples to validate the theoretical analysis.展开更多
