Abstract
In this paper, we show that a class of odd order obstacle problems can be studied in the general framework of variational inequalities. It is shown that the variational inequalities can be formulated as a system of variational equations without constraint, which can be solved by using the quintic 5-splines. We describe numerical experience on the use of penalty function method for obtaining numerical solution of a class of odd order obstacle boundary problems arising in the physical oceanography.Keywords
