Fixed point index approach for solutions of variational inequalities.
In this paper some new fixed point theorems of Ky Fan, Leray-Schauder and Furi-Pera type are presented for closed multifunctions.
New fixed point results are presented for multivalued maps defined on subsets of a Fréchet space E. The proof relies on the notion of a pseudo open set, degree and index theory, and on viewing E as the projective limit of a sequence of Banach spaces.
The aim of this paper is to prove that the relaxation of the elastic-perfectly plastic energy (of a solid made of a Hencky material) is the lower semicontinuous regularization of the plastic energy. We find the integral representation of a non-locally coercive functional. In part II, we will show that the set of solutions of the relaxed problem is equal to the set of solutions of the relaxed problem proposed by Suquet. Moreover, we will prove the existence theorem for the limit analysis problem.
