The continuous problem is formulated as variational inequality, which is next discretize in time based on backward Euler’s scheme. We prove existence and uniqueness of the solution of the time discrete problem by means of a regularization approach. Finally, we derive error estimates that justify the convergence property of the discretization proposed.en© 2014 Institute for Scientific Computing and InformationStokes equationsSlip boundary conditionVariational inequalityRegularizationConvexityMonotoneArticle
