On Systems of Parabolic Variational Inequalities with Multivalued Terms

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

<p> In this paper we present an analytical framework for the following system of multivalued parabolic variational inequalities in a cylindrical domain [Formula] where K <sub> k </sub> is a closed and convex subset of [Formula], A <sub> k </sub> is a time-dependent quasilinear elliptic operator, and f <sub> k </sub> : Q x &reals; <sup> m </sup> &rarr; 2 <sup> &reals; </sup> is an upper semicontinuous multivalued function with respect to s &isin; &reals; <sup> m </sup> . We provide an existence theory for the above system under certain coercivity assumptions. In the noncoercive case, we establish an appropriate sub-supersolution method that allows us to get existence and enclosure results. As an application, a multivalued parabolic obstacle system is treated. Moreover, under a lattice condition on the constraints K <sub> k </sub> , systems of evolutionary variational-hemivariational inequalities are shown to be a subclass of the above system of multivalued parabolic variational inequalities.</p>
