In this article, a reliable and efficient a posteriori error estimator of residual type is derived for a class of discontinuous Galerkin methods for the frictional contact problem with reduced normal compliance which is modeled as a quasi-variational inequality. We further derive a priori error estimates in the energy norm under the minimal regularity assumption on the exact solution. The convergence behavior of error over uniform mesh and the performance of error estimator are illustrated by the numerical results.
