Keywords:
degenerate variational inequalities; numerical solution of variational inequalities; free boundary problem; oxygen diffusion problem
Summary:
In this paper we are concerned with the solution of degenerate variational inequalities. To solve this problem numerically, we propose a numerical scheme which is based on the relaxation scheme using non-standard time discretization. The approximate solution on each time level is obtained in the iterative way by solving the corresponding elliptic variational inequalities. The convergence of the method is proved.
