Abstract: In the present work, firstly, we use a minimax equality to prove the existence of a solution of certain system of varitional equations and we provide a numerical approximation of such a solution. Then, we propose a numerical method to solve a collage-type inverse problem associated with the corresponding system, and illustrate the behaviour of the method with a numerical example.


In the paper a numerical method to solve the inverse problem associated with a system of variational inequalities is proposed. To this end, a minimax equality to prove the existence of a solution to the system of inequalities is used. To solve the inverse problem derived from the system of variational inequalities, the so called collage theorem which is a consequence of the version of the Stampacchia theorem for a system of variational inequalities is applied. The approach of the collage theorem starts by considering the forward problem as a solution to a fixed point problem and deduces its analysis from Banach's fixed point theorem. Finally, the behaviour of the method is illustrated by means of a numerical example. First, a numerical approximation of the solution of the forward problem is proposed, and after that the numerical treatment for the inverse problem is developed.
