Nonsmooth Variational Problems and Their Inequalities: Comparison Principles and Applications

by Dumitru Motreanu, Vy K. Le, Siegfried Carl

Book Overview

This monograph focuses primarily on nonsmooth variational problems that arise from boundary value problems with nonsmooth data and/or nonsmooth constraints, such as multivalued elliptic problems, variational inequalities, hemivariational inequalities, and their corresponding evolution problems. It provides a systematic and unified exposition of comparison principles based on a suitably extended sub-supersolution method.
