TY - JOUR A1 - Karl, Veronika A1 - Neitzel, Ira A1 - Wachsmuth, Daniel T1 - A Lagrange multiplier method for semilinear elliptic state constrained optimal control problems JF - Computational Optimization and Applications N2 - In this paper we apply an augmented Lagrange method to a class of semilinear ellip-tic optimal control problems with pointwise state constraints. We show strong con-vergence of subsequences of the primal variables to a local solution of the original problem as well as weak convergence of the adjoint states and weak-* convergence of the multipliers associated to the state constraint. Moreover, we show existence of stationary points in arbitrary small neighborhoods of local solutions of the original problem. Additionally, various numerical results are presented.
