Convergence of explicit difference schemes for a variational inequality of the theory of nonlinear nonstationary filtration (Q1390449)

The authors investigate the convergence of difference schemes, which are constructed for a semidiscrete problem with a penalty, to the solution of the following variational inequality \[ \int_0^T \Big\langle {\partial \varphi (u) \over \partial t}, v-u\Big\rangle \text{d} t + \int_0^T \langle A (u, \nabla u), v-u\rangle \text{d} t \geq \int_0^T \langle f, v-u\rangle \text{d} t \qquad \text{for all } v \in K, \] where \(K=\{v\in L_p (0, T; \overset{\circ}{W}^{(1)}_p (\Omega)) \cap L_{\infty} (0, T; L_a (\Omega))\mid v \geq 0\) (a.e.) in \(Q_T =\Omega \times (0, T]\}\).
