Discontinuous Galerkin Methods for Solving Elliptic Variational Inequalities

Abstract: 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 some numerical examples are reported.

“…Both the energy norm and the L 2 norm of the error are studied, and the upper bound and the lower bound obtained illustrate that the analysis presented here is optimal. The RM element pretends to be one fit for fourth order elliptic perturbation problems, and can also expect application for contact/obstacle problems (c.f., e.g., [34,38]) in the future.…”

“…In [1,2], Arnold, Brezzi, Cockburn, and Marini provided a unified error analysis of DG methods for linear elliptic boundary value problems of second-order and succeeded in building a bridge between these two families of DG methods, establishing a framework to understand their properties, differences and the connections between them. In [21], numerous DG methods were extended for solving elliptic variational inequalities of second-order, and a priori error estimates were established, which are of optimal order for linear elements. DG methods for the Signorini problem and a quasistatic contact problem were also studied in [22,23], respectively.…”
