Abstract
In this paper, we analyze finite-element Galerkin discretizations for a class of constrained optimal control problems that are governed by Fredholm integral or integro-differential equations. The analysis focuses on the derivation of a priori error estimates and a posteriori error estimators for the approximation schemes.
