L^-error estimate for an approximation of a parabolic variational inequality

From MaRDI portal
Publication:1822211





The purpose of this paper is to study a question concerning the almost optimal \(L^{\infty}\)-convergence of an approximation of a variational inequality of parabolic type (under regularity assumptions which are met by the solution of a one phase Stefan problem). The discretization employs piecewise linear finite elements in space and the backward Euler scheme in time. By means of a maximum principle the problem is reduced to an error estimate for an auxiliary parabolic equation. The latter bound is obtained by using the smoothing property of the Galerkin method.
