Abstract

We examine the discrete free boundaries arising from a finite element discretization of a variational inequality. We give L8 error bounds for the Hausdorff distance of the discrete and true free boundary, as well as for the normals. The theoretical results are confirmed by numerical experiments in two and three dimensions.
