โฆ Synopsis
In this paper, we consider a numerical technique which enables us to verify the existence of solutions for some simple obstacle problems. Using the finite element approximation and constructive error estimates, we construct, on a computer, a set of solutions which satisfies the hypothesis of the Schauder fixed-point theorem for a compact map on a certain Sobolev space. We describe the numerical verification algorithm for solving a two-dimensional obstacle problems and report some numerical results.

ln this paper, we propose an algorithm for solving the obstacle problem. We try to find the approximated region of the contact in the obstacle problem by iteration. Numerical examples are given for the obstacle problem for a membrane and the elastic-plastic torsion problem. (~) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. Al
Obstacle problems are nonlinear free boundary problems and the computation of ap\* proximate solutions can be difficult and expensive. Little work has been done on effective numerical methods of such problems. This paper addresses some aspects of this issue. Discretizing the problem in a continuous
Variational inequality theory provides us with a general and unified framework to study a large class of unrelated free and moving boundary problems that arise in pure and applied sciences. In this paper we show that a class of variational inequalities related with obstacle problems can be character
This paper proves the convergence of some generalized Schwarz algorithms for solving the obstacle problems with a T-monotone operator. Numerical results show that the generalized Sehwarz algorithms converge faster than the classical Schwarz algorithms.
