An additive Schwarz method for variational inequalities

This paper proposes an additive Schwarz method for variational inequalities and their approximations by finite element methods. The Schwarz domain decomposition method is proved to converge with a geometric rate depending on the decomposition of the domain. The result is based on an framework of convergence analysis established for general variational inequalities in Hilbert spaces.
