Abstract

We consider state-constrained optimal control problems governed by elliptic equations. Doing Slater-like assumptions, we know that Lagrange multipliers exist for such problems, and we propose a decoupled augmented Lagrangian method. We present the algorithm with a simple example of a distributed control problem.
