Finite element estimates for a class of nonlinear variational inequalities

It is well known that a wide class of obstacle and unilateral problems arising in pure and applied sciences can be studied in a general and unifield framework of variational inequalities. In this paper, we derive the error estimates for the finite element approximate solution for a class of highly n...

description It is well known that a wide class of obstacle and unilateral problems arising in pure and applied sciences can be studied in a general and unifield framework of variational inequalities. In this paper, we derive the error estimates for the finite element approximate solution for a class of highly nonlinear variational inequalities encountered in the field of elasticity and glaciology in terms of W1,p(Ω) and Lp(Ω)-norms. As a special case, we obtain the well-known error estimates for the corresponding linear obstacle problem and nonlinear problems.
