Abstract

In this article, we derive \textit{a posteriori} error estimates for the Dirichlet boundary control problem governed by Stokes equation. An energy-based method has been deployed to solve the Dirichlet boundary control problem. We employ an inf-sup stable finite element discretization scheme by using P1\mathbf{P}_1 elements(in the fine mesh) for the velocity and control variable and P0P_0 elements(in the coarse mesh) for the pressure variable. We derive an \textit{a posteriori} error estimator for the state, adjoint state, and control error. The control error estimator generalizes the standard residual type estimator of the unconstrained Dirichlet boundary control problems, by additional terms at the contact boundary addressing the non-linearity. We prove the reliability and efficiency of the estimator. Theoretical results are illustrated by some numerical experiments.
