The considered problem is issued from a cavitation model in lubrication theory and treats on the determination of the cavitation area. Estimates L∞(Ω) which provide the convergence of the approximated solution is obtained. Finally, some numerical test examples are presented to illustrate the good performance of the method.engjournal articlehttp://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/00963003open access519.61Cavitation theoryFree boundary problemNumerical solutionAnálisis numérico1206 Análisis Numérico
