A parallel Schwarz algorithm for variational inequalities (Q1814722)

The usual linear variational inequality \[ a(u, v-u)\geq f(v- u)\quad\text{for any }v\in K, \] where \(K= \{v\in V; r\geq\varphi\) in \(\Omega\}\), or \(K=\{v\in V; \varphi\leq v\leq \psi\) in \(\Omega\}\), with \(\varphi\leq 0\leq\psi\) in \(\Omega\), is considered. A parallel Schwarz algorithm is proposed for which convergence is demonstrated.
