Variational-hemivariational inequalities with applications

This research monograph represents an outcome of the cross-fertilization between nonlinear functional analysis and mathematical modelling, and demonstrates its application to solid and contact mechanics.

Based on authors' original results, it introduces a general fixed point principle and its application to various nonlinear problems in analysis and mechanics.

The classes of history-dependent operators and almost history-dependent operators are exposed in a large generality.

A systematic and unified presentation contains a carefully-selected collection of new results on variational-hemivariational inequalities with or without unilateral constraints.
