These discrete problems arise when approximating by finite difference method or by finite element method the optimal control problems which contain a linear elliptic boundary value problem as a state equation, control in the righthand side of the equation or in the boundary conditions, and point-wise constraints for both state and control functions. The convergence of the constructed iterative methods is proved, the implementation problems are discussed, and the numerical comparison of the methods is executed. %K Constrained Optimal Control Problem %K Saddle Point Problem %K Finite Element Method %K Iterative Algorithm %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=25344
