English abstract:
We treat the convergence of adaptive lowest-order FEM for some elliptic obstacle problem with affine obstacle. For error
estimation, we use a residual error estimator which is an extended version of the estimator from [2] and additionally controls
the data oscillations. The main result states that an appropriately weighted sum of energy error, edge residuals, and data
oscillations satisfies a contraction property that leads to convergence. In addition, we discuss the generalization to the case of
inhomogeneous Dirichlet data and non-affine obstacles 2 H2(
) for which similar results are obtained.
