Sensitivity analysis of generalized variational inequalities (Q1197398)

Under various structural assumptions the author studies variational inequalities of the form \(U\in {\mathcal K}_ \lambda\): \(a(u,\lambda,v- u)+b(u,v)-b(u,u)\geq\langle A(u,\lambda),v-u\rangle\) for all \(v\in{\mathcal K}_ \lambda\). It is shown that the hypotheses imposed on the data imply the existence of a unique solution \(u=u(\lambda)\) at least if \(\lambda\) is contained in some open subset of the parameter domain. Moreover, the function \(u(\lambda)\) is differentiable.
