Abstract

In this article, we study a finite element approximation for a model free boundary plasma problem. Using a mixed approach (which resembles an optimal control problem with control constraints), we formulate a weak formulation and study the existence and uniqueness of a solution to the continuous model problem. Using the same setting, we formulate and analyze the discrete problem. We derive optimal order energy norm a priori error estimates proving the convergence of the method. Further, we derive a reliable and efficient a posteriori error estimator for the adaptive mesh refinement algorithm. Finally, we illustrate the theoretical results by some numerical examples.
