Numerical approximation of a unilateral obstacle problem (Q415415): Difference between revisions

The authors consider a unilateral obstacle problem in the variational inequality form. Then they utilize its variational inclusion formulation proposed in [\textit{A.~Addou} and \textit{E. B.~Mermri}, ``Sur une méthode de résolution d'un problème d'obstacle'', Math-Rech. Appl. 2, 59--69 (2000; MR1836181)]. It is approximated by using finite element and projection methods. A strong convergence result is established. The results of the solution of a one-dimensional obstacle problem are also given.
