3.3 Error estimate for Finite Element solution 31<br />

Figure 3.2: The set K h is not in general contained in the set K.<br />

Let K h be approximation of the convex set K :<br />

K h = {v h ∈ V h |∀b ∈ N h : v h (b) ≥ ψ(b), v h = Π h u on Ω − Ω h }.<br />

Note that the set K h is not in general contained in the set K.<br />

Theorem 3.3.2 Assume that the solution u is in the space H 2 (Ω). Then the continuous<br />

piecewise linear approximation u h satisfies ‖u h − u‖ 1,Ω = O(h).<br />

Proof Using integration by parts and denoting by µ = −(∆u + f ), we find<br />

〈Au − f ,v〉 =<br />

Taking in (3.5) instead of v h = Π h u gives:<br />

|u − u h | 1,Ω ≤ a(u − u h ,u − Π h u) + 〈µ,Π h u − u h 〉 Ωh , (3.8)<br />

since u h = Π h u on Ω − Ω h .<br />

From [7] the variational inequality (3.3) implies the following pointwise relations:<br />

µ ≥ 0 and µ(ψ − u) = 0 a.e. on Ω.
