An additive Schwarz method for variational inequalities. (English) Zbl 0954.65051

The objective of this paper is to exploit a convergence theory for the additive Schwarz method, for variational inequalities and their approximations by finite element methods. Main result: The Schwarz domain decomposition method is proved to converge with a geometric rate depending on the decomposition of the domain. The result is based on an abstract framework of convergence analysis established for general variational inequalities in Hilbert spaces.
The theory for the obstacle problem is demonstrated. Finally, the Schwarz method in the finite element spaces is analyzed.
