Resumen de Numerical solutions of a two-phase membrane problem

F. Bozorgnia

• In this paper different numerical methods for a two-phase free boundary problem are discussed. In the first method a novel iterative scheme for the two-phase membrane is considered. We study the regularization method and give an a posteriori error estimate which is needed for the implementation of the regularization method. Moreover, an efficient algorithm based on the finite element method is presented. It is shown that the sequence constructed by the algorithm is monotone and converges to the solution of the given free boundary problem. These methods can be applied for the one-phase obstacle problem as well.
