Abstract

Nonconforming domain decomposition methods provide a powerful tool for the numerical approximation of partial differential equations. For the discretization of a nonlinear multibody contact problem, we use linear mortar finite elements based on dual Lagrange multipliers. Under some regularity assumptions on the solution, an optimal convergence order of $h^{0.5+\nu}$, $0
