This is the first research monograph to focus on variational
inequalities as part of nonsmooth variational systems research. The
authors discuss partial differential equations, variational equations,
variational and hemivariational inequalities, and related topics. With a
wealth of problems and techniques from nonlinear and nonsmooth analysis,
this versatile text is an important reference for mathematicians working
in analysis, partial differential equations, elasticity, materials
science and mechanics applications, as well as for physicists and
engineers. It can serve as a main or supplemental text for a variety of
specialized nonlinear analysis courses.
