Sep 24, 2025	A priori error analysis of the proximal Galerkin method Speaker: Rami Masri (Brown University) Date: September 24, 2025 Time: 11:00 – 12:00 (EST) Abstract: The proximal Galerkin (PG) method is a finite element method for solving variational problems with inequality constraints. It has several advantages, including constraint-preserving approximations and mesh independence. This talk presents the first abstract a priori error analysis of the PG method, providing a general framework to establish convergence and error estimates. As applications of the framework, we demonstrate optimal convergence rates for both the obstacle and Signorini problems using various finite element subspaces. Location: 170 Hope St., Room 108, Providence, RI. Zoom: Zoom Link Add to Calendar
