A Posteriori Error Estimates for Elliptic Variational Inequalities

چکیده
We derive hierarchical a posteriori error estimates for elliptic variational inequalities. The evaluation amounts to the solution of corresponding scalar local subproblems. We derive some upper bounds for the e ectivity rates and the numerical properties are illustrated by typical examples.

Another view for a posteriori error estimates for variational inequalities of the second kind
In this paper, we give another view to understand a posteriori error analysis for finite element solutions of elliptic variational inequalities of the second kind. This point of view makes it simpler to derive reliable error estimators in solving variational inequalities of the second kind from the theory for related linear variational equations. Reliable residual-based and gradient recovery-ba...
متن کاملDuality based a posteriori error estimates for higher order variational inequalities with power growth functionals
We consider variational inequalities of higher order with p-growth potentials over a domain in the plane by the way including the obstacle problem for a plate with power hardening law. Using duality methods we prove a posteriori error estimates of functional type for the difference of the exact solution and any admissible comparision function.
متن کاملEquivalent a posteriori error estimates for spectral element solutions of constrained optimal control problem in one dimension
In this paper, we study spectral element approximation for a constrained optimal control problem in one dimension. The equivalent a posteriori error estimators are derived for the control, the state and the adjoint state approximation. Such estimators can be used to construct adaptive spectral elements for the control problems.
متن کاملDiscontinuous Galerkin Methods for Solving Elliptic Variational Inequalities
We study discontinuous Galerkin methods for solving elliptic variational inequalities, of both the first and second kinds. Analysis of numerous discontinuous Galerkin schemes for elliptic boundary value problems is extended to the variational inequalities. We establish a priori error estimates for the discontinuous Galerkin methods, which reach optimal order for linear elements. Results from so...
