Duality arguments for well-posedness of history-dependent variational inequalities

Rong Hu, Mircea Sofonea

Abstract:
In this article we introduce a concept of dual problems in metric spaces. Then we state and prove an equivalence result concerning their well-posedness with respect to appropriate Tykhonov triples. We exemplify this result in the study of a history-dependent variational inequality with time-dependent constraints, for which the dual problem is in a form of a history-dependent inclusion. This allows us to deduce a convergence result which provides the continuous dependence of the solution with respect to the data. We end this paper with an example which represents an evidence of our abstract results.
