Simpli?cation into 1D allows for the construction of a nonlinear benchmark for which an exact solution of the obstacle problem can be derived. Quality of a numerical approximation obtained by the ?nite element method is compared with the exact solution and the error of approximation is bounded from above by a majorant error estimate. The sharpness of the majorant error estimate is discussed.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2013-08-12T14:29:55.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "posteriori error estimate", "obstacle problem", "majorant error estimate", "functional", "verification" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1301.5923H" } } }
