Ito, Kazufumi; Kunisch, Karl Semi-smooth Newton methods for the Signorini problem. (English) Zbl 1199.49064 Appl. Math., Praha 53, No. 5, 455-468 (2008). Summary: Semi-smooth Newton methods are analyzed for the Signorini problem. A proper regularization is introduced which guarantees that the semi-smooth Newton method is superlinearly convergent for each regularized problem. Utilizing a shift motivated by an augmented Lagrangian framework, to the regularization term, the solution to each regularized problem is feasible. Convergence of the regularized problems is shown and a report on numerical experiments is given.
