A new class of history-dependent evolutionary variational-hemivariational inequalities with unilateral constraints (Q2234300): Difference between revisions

The authors deal with the Cauchy problem for a new class of evolutionary variational-hemivariational inequalities with history-dependent operators. Given a reflexive Banach space \(V\) and a nonempty closed convex set \(K\subset V\), the problem is to find \(w:(0,T)\to V\) s.t. \(w(t)\in K\) for a.e. \(t\in (0,T)\) fulfilling \begin{align*} &(w'(t)+A(t,w(t))+(R_1 w)(t)-f(t),v-w(t))_{V^*\times V}\\ &+j^0(t,(Sw)(t),Mw(t);Mv-Mw(t))\\ &+\varphi(t,(R_2w)(t),Mv)-\varphi(t,(R_2w)(t),Mw(t))\ \forall v\in K,\ \text{a.e.}\ t\in (0,T). \end{align*} The abstract result is applied in order to show the unique weak solvability of the problem modeling a dynamic viscoelastic frictional contact.
