Penalization of Dirichlet optimal control problems
ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations, Volume 15 (2009) no. 4, pp. 782-809.

We apply Robin penalization to Dirichlet optimal control problems governed by semilinear elliptic equations. Error estimates in terms of the penalization parameter are stated. The results are compared with some previous ones in the literature and are checked by a numerical experiment. A detailed study of the regularity of the solutions of the PDEs is carried out.
