A class of quasi-variational inequalities (QVI) of elliptic type is studied in reflexive Banach spaces. The concept of QVI was earlier introduced by A. Bensoussan and J.-L. Lions [2] and its general theory has been developed by many mathematicians, for instance, see [6, 7, 9, 13] and a monograph [1]. In this paper we give a generalization of the existence theorem established in [14]. In our treatment we employ the compactness method along with a concept of convergence of nonlinear multivalued operators...

We consider an abstract formulation for a class of parabolic quasi-variational inequalities or quasi-linear PDEs, which are generated by subdifferentials of convex functions with various nonlocal constraints depending on the unknown functions. In this paper we specify a class of convex functions ${\phi }^t(v;·)$ on a real Hilbert space H, with parameters 0 ≤ t ≤ T and v in a set of functions from [-δ₀,T], 0 < δ₀ < ∞, into H, in order to formulate an evolution equation of the form $u^{\text{'}}\left(t\right)+\partial {\phi }^t(u;u\left(t\right))\ni f\left(t\right)$, 0 < t < T, in H.
