Bifurcation of periodic solutions to variational inequalities in based on Alexander-Yorke theorem
Variational inequalities are studied, where is a closed convex cone in , , is a matrix, is a small perturbation, a real parameter. The assumptions guaranteeing a Hopf bifurcation at some for the corresponding equation are considered and it is proved that then, in some situations, also a bifurcation of periodic solutions to our inequality occurs at some . Bifurcating solutions are obtained by the limiting process along branches of solutions to penalty problems starting at constructed...
