Abstract

The Schwarz method for a class of elliptic variational inequalities with noncoercive operator was studied in this work. The author proved the error estimate in L∞-norm for two domains with overlapping nonmatching grids using the geometrical convergence of solutions and the uniform convergence of subsolutions.

Highlights

  • More than one hundred years ago, Schwarz algorithms were proposed for proving the solvability of PDEs on a complicated domain

  • We give a new approach to the finite element approximation for the problem of variational inequality with noncoercive operator

  • The proof stands on a Lipschitz continuous dependency with respect to the source term for variational inequality, while in [5] the proof stands on a Lipschitz continuous dependency with respect to the boundary condition

Summary

Introduction

More than one hundred years ago, Schwarz algorithms were proposed for proving the solvability of PDEs on a complicated domain. With parallel calculators, this rediscovery of these methods as algorithms of calculations was based on a modern variational approach. We give a new approach to the finite element approximation for the problem of variational inequality with noncoercive operator. This problem arises in stochastic control (see [10]).
