Abstract
This article presents the HDG approximation as a solution to the unilateral contact problem, leveraging the regularization method and an iterative procedure for resolution. In our study, u represents the potential (displacement of the elastic body) and q represents the flux (the force exerted on the body). Our analysis establishes that the utilization of polynomials of degree $k (k \ge 1)$ leads to achieving an optimal convergence rate of order $k+1$ in $L^{2}$ -norm for both u and q. Importantly, this optimal convergence is maintained irrespective of whether the domain is discretized through a structured or unstructured grid. The numerical results consistently align with the theoretical findings, underscoring the effectiveness and reliability of the proposed HDG approximation method for unilateral contact problems.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
