| contents | This paper studies an optimal control problem governed by a semilinear elliptic equation, in which the control acts in a multiplicative or bilinear way as the reaction coefficient of the equation. We focus on the numerical discretization of the problem. The discretization is carried out by using the finite element method, with piecewise constant functions for the control and continuous piecewise linear functions for the state and the adjoint state. We first prove convergence of the solutions of the discrete problems to solutions of the continuous problem. We also demonstrate that strict local solutions of the continuous problem can be approximated by local solutions of the discrete problems. Next we obtain an error estimate of order $O(h)$ for the difference between continuous and discrete locally optimal controls. To obtain this result we assume no-gap second order sufficient optimality conditions. As it is usual in this kind of discretization, a superconvergence phenomenon of order $O(h^2)$ is observed in numerical experiments for the error estimates of the state and adjoint state. The last part of the paper is dedicated to explain this behaviour. A numerical experiment confirming these results is included. |
