Certain remarks on a class of evolution quasi-variational inequalities (Q5926145)

The existence of solutions of two types of implicit evolution quasi-variational inequalities is discussed. The first quasi-variational inequality is the Bensoussan-Lions-Mosco problem. In the stationary case the Bensoussan-Lions-Mosco model yields the implicit Signorini problem which has many applications in mechanics. The second evolution quasi-variational inequality problem (Han-Reddy-Schroeder model) arises in elastoplasticity. It is proven that both two problems have at least one solution.
