A Priori Error Estimates for Optimal Control Problems with Constraints on the Gradient of the State on Nonsmooth Polygonal Domains

In this article we are concerned with the finite element discretization of optimal control problems subject to a second order elliptic PDE and additional pointwise constraints on the gradient of the state.
