Under a regularity condition on the set where these discrete values are attained, error estimates for the Moreau--Yosida approximation (which allows its solution by a semismooth Newton method) and the discretization of the problem are derived. Numerical results support the theoretical findings.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1803.04298v2","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1803.04298v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"error-estimates-for-the-approximation-of","repo_url":"https://github.com/clason/multibangestimates","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
