| Abstract: | We develop the error analysis for the h‐version of the discontinuous Galerkin finite element discretization for variational inequalities of first and second kinds. We establish an a priori error estimate for the method which is of optimal order in a mesh dependant as well as L2‐norm.© 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq 2007 |
