Abstract:
The method of successive approximations is examined as a tool for solving the semicoercive quasi-variational Signorini inequality. The auxiliary problems with given friction arising at each step of this method are solved using the Uzawa method with an iterative proximal regularization of the modified Lagrangian functional.
Key words:Contact problem in elasticity theory, Lagrangian functional, saddle point, Uzawa method, proximal regularization.
