Finite element approximation of optimal control problems has been an important topic in engineering design work. There has been extensive theoretical and numerical studies for standard finite element approximation of various optimal control problems. For instance, for the optimal control problems governed by some linear elliptic or parabolic state equations, a priori error estimates of the finite element approximation were established long ago, see [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. Furthermore, a priori error estimates were established for the finite element approximation of some important flow control problems in [6]. Some recent progress in a priori error estimates can be found in [7, 8] and in [9, 10, 11, 12], for a posteriori error estimates. Systematic introduction of the finite element method for PDEs and optimal control problems can be found in, for example, [13], [14] and [15]. In recent years, the discontinuous Galerkin methods have been proved very useful in solving a large range of computational fluid problems ([16, 17, 18]). They are preferred over standard continuous Galerkin methods because of their flexibility in approximating globally rough solutions, their local mass conservation, their possible definition on unstructured meshes, their potential for error control and mesh adaptation. The idea of using penalty terms in a finite element method is not new. Baker [19] was the first one who used interior penalty with nonconforming elements for elliptic equations. Douglas and Dupont [20] analyzed a method which used interior penalties on the derivatives with conforming elements for linear elliptic and parabolic problems. Inspired by [19], Wheeler [21] presented an interior penalty method for second order linear elliptic equations. Closest to [21], Arnold [22] formulated a semi-discrete discontinuous Galerkin method with interior penalty for second order nonlinear parabolic equations.
