We consider optimal control of an elliptic two-point boundary value problem governed by functions of bounded variation (BV). The cost functional is composed of a tracking term for the state and the BV-seminorm of the control. We use the mixed formulation for the state equation together with the variational discretization approach, where we use the classical lowest order Raviart-Thomas finite elements for the state equation. Consequently the variational discrete control is a piecewise constant function over the finite element grid. We prove error estimates for the variational discretization approach in combination with the mixed formulation of the state equation and confirm our analytical findings with numerical experiments.
