Description:
In the article an optimal control problem subject to a stationary variational inequality
is investigated. The optimal control problem is complemented with pointwise control constraints.
The convergence of a smoothing scheme is analyzed. There, the variational inequality
is replaced by a semilinear elliptic equation. It is shown that solutions of the regularized optimal
control problem converge to solutions of the original one. Passing to the limit in the
optimality system of the regularized problem allows to prove C-stationarity of local solutions of the original problem.
Moreover, convergence rates with respect to the regularization parameter for the error in the control are obtained.
These rates coincide with rates obtained by numerical experiments, which are included in the paper.
