In this paper,we investigate heterogeneous multiscale method (HMM) for the optimal control problem with distributed control constraints goved by elliptic equations with highly oscillatory coefficients.The state variable and co-state variable are approximated by the multiscale discretization scheme that relies on coupled macro and micro finite elements,whereas the control variable is discretized by the piecewise constant.By applying the wellknown Lions’ Lemma to the discretized optimal control problem,we obtain the necessary and sufficient optimality conditions.A priori error estimates in both L2 and H1 norms are derived for the state,co-state and the control variable with uniform bound constants.Finally,numerical examples are presented to illustrate our theoretical results.
