English abstract:
We present an a priori analysis of the hp-version of the finite element method for the
primal-dual formulation of frictional contact in linear elasticity. We employ a novel
hp-mortar projection operator, which is uniformly stable in the mesh width and grows
slowly in the polynomial degree. We derive an hp-FEM residual error indicator, develop
an hp-adaptive strategy that is based on testing for analyticity, and show in numerical
examples that the adaptive algorithm can lead to exponential rates of convergence.

Keywords:
Finite elements, hp-adaptivity, linear elasticity, Tresca friction, residual
