The variational formulation of elastic contact problems leads to variational inequalities on convex subsets. These variational inequalities are solved with the boundary element method (BEM) by making use of the Poincare-Steklov operator. This operator can be represented in its discretized form by the Schur-complement of the dense Galerkin-matrices for the single layer potential operator, the double layer potential operator and the hypersingular integral operator. Due to the difficulties in discretizing the convex subsets involved, traditionally only the h-version is used for discretization. Recently, p- and hp-versions have been introduced for Signorini contact problems in Maischak and Stephan (Appl Numer Math, 2005) . In this paper we show convergence for the quasi-uniform hp-version of BEM for elastic contact problems, and derive a-posteriori error estimates together with error indicators for adaptive hp-algorithms. We present corresponding numerical experiments.
