[For the entire collection see Zbl 0718.00014.] The authors review some recent results on the eigenvalue problem for von Kármán's equations with obstacle. More precisely let \(\mathbb{K}\) be the convex set of functions: \[ \mathbb{K}=\{u\in W_ 0^{2,2}(\Omega):\;\varphi_ 1\leq u\leq\varphi_ 2\}. \] The authors state existence and multiplicity results for the problem: \[ \int_ \Omega \Delta u\Delta(v- u)dx dy\geq \int_ \Omega[\lambda F_ 0+h,u](v-u)dx dy\quad \forall v\in\mathbb{K} \] \[ \Delta_ 2h+[u,u]=0,\quad \lambda\in\mathbb{R},\;u\in\mathbb{K},\;h\in W_ 0^{2,2}(\Omega) \] where \([v,w]=v_{xx}w_{xx}- 2v_{xy}w_{xy}+v_{yy}w_{yy}\). The associated bifurcation problem is also considered.
