Variational-Hemivariational Inequalities with Applications: Edition 2
About this eBook
Written for mathematicians, applied mathematicians, engineers and scientists, this book is also a valuable tool for graduate students and researchers in nonlinear analysis, mathematical modelling, mechanics of solids, and contact mechanics.
New to the second edition
- Convergence and well-posedness results for elliptic and history-dependent variational-hemivariational inequalities
- Existence results on various optimal control problems with applications in solid and contact mechanics
- Existence, uniqueness and stability results for evolutionary and differential variational-hemivariational inequalities with unilateral constraints

About the author
Mircea Sofonea earned his PhD from the University of Bucarest, Romania, and his habilitation at the Université Blaise Pascal of Clermont-Ferrand (France).He is currently a Distinguished Profesor of Applied Mathematics at the University of Perpignan Via Domitia, France and a honorary member of the Institute of Mathematics, Romanian Academy of Sciences. His areas of interest and expertise include multivalued operators, variational and hemivariational inequalities, solid mechanics, contact mechanics and numerical methods for partial differential equations. Most of his reseach is dedicated to the Mathematical Theory of Contact Mechanics, of which he is one of the main contributors. His ideas and results were published in nine books, four monographs, and more than three hundred research articles.
