A PRIORI ERROR ESTIMATES FOR THE FINITE ELEMENT APPROXIMATION OF AN OBSTACLE PROBLEM

  • Published : 2000.01.01

Abstract

The purpose of this to measure, with explicit constants as small as possible, a priori error bounds for approximation by picewise polynomials. These constants play an important role in the numerical verification method of solutions for obstacle problems by using finite element methods .
