Abstract

We derive novel pointwise a posteriori error estimators for elliptic obstacle problems which, except for obstacle resolution, completely vanish within the full-contact set (localization). We then construct a posteriori barrier sets for free boundaries under a natural stability (or nondegeneracy) condition. We illustrate localization properties as well as reliability and efficiency for both solutions and free boundaries via several simulations in 2 and 3 dimensions.
