Abstract
The present paper deals with the theoretical and numerical treatment of dynamic unilateral problems. The governing equations are formulated as an equivalent variational inequality expressing D' Alembert's principle in its inequality form. The discretization with respect to time and space leads to a static nonlinear programming problem which is solved by an appropriate algorithm. Some properties of dynamic unilateral problems are outlined and the influence of several parameters on the solution is investigated by means of numerical examples.

A general framework is developed for the finite element solution of optimal control problems governed by elliptic nonlinear partial differential equations. Typical applications are steady-state problems in nonlinear continuum mechanics, where a certain property of the solution (a function of displac
In this paper, by using particular techniques, two existence theorems of solutions for generalized quasi-variational inequalities, a minimax theorem, and a section theorem in the spaces without linear structure are established; and finally, a new coincidence theorem in locally convex spaces is obtai
