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 />

= 〈µ,v〉.<br />
Taking in (3.5) instead of v h = Π h u gives:<br />
∇u∇vdω − 〈 f ,v〉<br />

∆u vdω − 〈 f ,v〉<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.
