In this paper, the global superconvergence analysis for the finite element approximation of the distributed optimal control governed by Stokes equations is discussed. For the control, a global superconvergence result is derived by applying patch recovery technique. For the state and the co-state, the global superconvergence results are derived by applying some postprocessing techniques for the bilinear-constant scheme over the uniform rectangular meshes. Based on the global superconvergence analysis, recovery type a posteriori error estimates are derived. It is shown that the recovery type a posteriori error estimators provided in this paper are asymptotically exact if the conditions for the superconvergence are satisfied.
