Numerical solutions of third-order obstacle problems

Abstract
It is known that a class of odd order obstacle problems in physical oceanography can be studied in the framework of variational inequality theory. In this paper, we show that variational inequalities related with third-order obstacle problems can be characterized by a system of variational equations without constraints, which are solved using modified finite difference technique. A comparison between our and other available results is also presented.
