Abstract.
We derive globally convergent multigrid methods for the discretized Signorini problem in linear elasticity. Special care has to be taken in the case of spatially varying normal directions. In numerical experiments for 2 and 3 space dimensions we observed similar convergence rates as for corresponding linear problems.
