  • Published:
Wuhan University Journal of Natural Sciences

Abstract

A monotone iterative method for some discontinuous variational boundary problems is given, the convergence of iterative solutions is proved by the theory of partially ordered sets. It can be regarded as a generalization of the classical monotone iteration theory for continuous problems.
