Abstract

Abstract The gradient discretisation method (GDM) is a generic framework designed recently, as a discretisation in spatial space, to partial differential equations. This paper aims to use the GDM to establish a first general error estimate for numerical approximations of parabolic obstacle problems. This gives the convergence rates of several well-known conforming and non-conforming numerical methods. Numerical experiments based on the hybrid finite volume method are provided to verify the theoretical results.
