  • In this paper, we investigate the error estimates of a quadratic elliptic control problem with pointwise control constraints. The state and the co-state variables are approximated by the order k = 1 Raviart-Thomas mixed finite element and the control variable is discretized by piecewise linear but discontinuous functions. Approximations of order $h^{\frac{3}{2}}$ in the $L^2$-norm and order h in the $L^{\infty}$-norm for the control variable are proved.
