A Viscoelastic Frictionless Contact Problem with Adhesion

Arezki Touzaline (2015)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

We consider a mathematical model which describes the equilibrium between a viscoelastic body in frictionless contact with an obstacle. The contact is modelled with normal compliance, associated with Signorini's conditions and adhesion. The adhesion is modelled with a surface variable, the bonding field, whose evolution is described by a first-order differential equation. We establish a variational formulation of the mechanical problem and prove the existence and uniqueness of the weak solution....

Abstract quasi-variational inequalities of elliptic type and applications

Yusuke Murase (2009)

Banach Center Publications

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...

Abstract theory of variational inequalities with Lagrange multipliers and application to nonlinear PDEs

Takeshi Fukao, Nobuyuki Kenmochi (2014)

Mathematica Bohemica

Recently, we established some generalizations of the theory of Lagrange multipliers arising from nonlinear programming in Banach spaces, which enable us to treat not only elliptic problems but also parabolic problems in the same generalized framework. The main objective of the present paper is to discuss a typical time-dependent double obstacle problem as a new application of the above mentioned generalization. Actually, we describe it as a usual parabolic variational inequality and then characterize...

A-monotone nonlinear relaxed cocoercive variational inclusions

Ram Verma (2007)

Open Mathematics

Based on the notion of A - monotonicity, a new class of nonlinear variational inclusion problems is presented. Since A - monotonicity generalizes H - monotonicity (and in turn, generalizes maximal monotonicity), results thus obtained, are general in nature.

An existence theorem for extended mildly nonlinear complementarity problem in semi-inner product spaces

M. S. Khan (1995)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We prove a result for the existence and uniqueness of the solution for a class of mildly nonlinear complementarity problem in a uniformly convex and strongly smooth Banach space equipped with a semi-inner product. We also get an extension of a nonlinear complementarity problem over an infinite dimensional space. Our last results deal with the existence of a solution of mildly nonlinear complementarity problem in a reflexive Banach space.

An extragradient iterative scheme by viscosity approximation methods for fixed point problems and variational inequality problems

Adrian Petruşel, Jen-Chih Yao (2009)

Open Mathematics

In this paper, we introduce a new iterative process for finding the common element of the set of fixed points of a nonexpansive mapping and the set of solutions of the variational inequality problem for an α-inverse-strongly-monotone, by combining an modified extragradient scheme with the viscosity approximation method. We prove a strong convergence theorem for the sequences generated by this new iterative process.
