โœฆ Synopsis

The paper applies a conforming P 1 finite element method to general variational inequalities derived from free boundary problems. The domain of the free boundary problem can be properly split into two non-overlapping subdomains where the free boundary is located in only one subdomain. The variational inequality is reduced to a partial differential equation in the subdomain which does not contain the free boundary but still keeps its original form in the other subdomain. Therefore, the original variational inequality can be discretized separately with P 1 finite element in different subdomains. A non-overlapping domain decomposition method is introduced to solve these two discretized sub-problems by P 1 finite element method iteratively while a Robin type boundary condition is utilized for the data transfer on the common boundary. We show that the sequence of such finite element solutions converges to the discretized solution of the original problem. Application to a free seepage problem verifies the theory.

The bilinear finite element methods on appropriately graded meshes are considered both for solving singular and semisingular perturbation problems. In each case, the quasi-optimal order error estimates are proved in the -weighted H 1 -norm uniformly in singular perturbation parameter , up to a logar
