Adaptive finite elements for optimally controlled elliptic variational inequalities of obstacle type
- In the recent past the adaptive finite element method has proved to be successfully applicable for the efficient numerical solution of a large number of problems. The main focus of this thesis lies in the development of an adaptive finite element scheme based on a standard residual-type a posteriori error estimate for the numerical solution of distributed optimal control problems for second order elliptic variational inequalities of obstacle type. As one of the main results, a convergence result is proven for a sequence of discrete C-stationary points. Furthermore, the residual-type a posteriori error estimator is shown to be reliable and efficient. Particular emphasis is put on the approximation of the reliability and efficiency related consistency errors. A detailed documentation of numerical results for a selection of test examples illustrates the performance of the adaptive approach.
