Abstract
The convergence of the method is proved and it is shown that the objective function corresponding to the quadratic programming problem is monotonically decreasing. The results of numerical tests for an elasticity contact problem are presented.
Zusammenfassung
Eine Mehrgittermethode für Variationsungleichungen bei Kontaktproblemen wird untersucht. Es wird Konvergenz bewiesen und gezeigt, daß die der quadratischen Programmierungsaufgabe zugrundeliegende Zielfunktion monoton fällt. Numerische Testresultate werden für ein elastisches Kontaktproblem präsentiert.
