Abstract
Based on the nonlinear characters of the discrete problems of some elliptical variational inequalities, this paper presents a numerical iterative method, the schemes of which are pithy and converge rapidly. The new method possesses a high efficiency in solving such applied engineering problems as obstacle problems and free boundary problems arising in fluid lubrications.
