Abstract

Our aim in this paper is to investigate the existence and uniqueness result for a class of mixed variational problems. They are governed by two variational inequalities. By applying the saddle-point theory, we obtain the existence of solutions to mixed variational problems. Finally, some frictional contact problems are given to illustrate our main results.

Summary

Introduction

The abstract problem in this paper is a class of mixed variational problems governed by two variational inequalities, with a bilinear function and functional which is convex and lower semicontinuous. Considering such kinds of variational problems sets the functional background in the study of elastic contact problems with unilateral constraints and nonmonotone interface laws. Let X be a Hilbert space, Y a reflexive Banach space and be a nonempty, closed and convex subset Y. Let A : X → X, B : X × → R, φ : X → R be given maps to be specified later, and w, f ∈ X be fixed.
