Abstract: In this work, we show the convergence of adaptive lowest-order FEM (AFEM) for an elliptic obstacle problem with non-homogeneous Dirichlet data, where the obstacle chi is restricted only by chi in H^2(Omega). The adaptive loop is steered by some residual based error estimator introduced in Braess, Carstensen & Hoppe (2007) that is extended to control oscillations of the Dirichlet data, as well. In the spirit of Cascon et al. (2008), we show that a weighted sum of energy error, estimator, and Dirichlet oscillations satisfies a contraction property up to certain vanishing energy contributions. This result extends the analysis of Braess, Carstensen & Hoppe (2007) and Page & Praetorius (2010) to the case of non-homogeneous Dirichlet data as well as certain non-affine obstacles and introduces some energy estimates to overcome the lack of nestedness of the discrete spaces.
