We consider the numerical approximation of an optimal control problem for an elliptic Partial
Differential Equation (PDE) with random coefficients. Specifically, the control function is a
deterministic, distributed forcing term that minimizes the expected squared L 2 misfit
between the state (ie solution to the PDE) and a target function, subject to a regularization
for well posedness. For the numerical treatment of this risk-averse Optimal Control Problem
(OCP) we consider a Finite Element discretization of the underlying PDE, a Monte Carlo …
