Numerical verifications of solutions for obstacle problems

From MaRDI portal





The authors consider two-dimensional obstacle problems. They point out that any solution is subject to rounding errors and show that for these problems the solution is associated with a fixed-point theorem. They discuss an approximation to the problem which can be solved by means of minimisation of a functional in terms of an orthonormal set of functions. Using the Kuhn-Tucker theorem the conditions for an optimal solution are obtained. An iterative solution with the first approximation being a Galerkin approximation to the solution is developed and the concept of \(\delta\)-inflation is introduced. An error bound is obtained for the approximate solution of a particular problem. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0973.00063].
