Abstract
A scalar contact problem with friction governed by the Yukawa equation is reduced to a boundary variational inequality. The presence of the nonβdifferentiable friction functional causes some difficulties when approximated. We present two methods to overcome this difficulty. The first one is a regularization leading to a nonβlinear boundary variational equation, for which we propose an iterative procedure, whereas the second method is based on the boundary mixed variational formulation involving Lagrange multipliers. We propose Uzawa's algorithm to compute the saddle point of the corresponding boundary Lagrangian and investigate the discretization of various formulations by the boundary element Galerkin method. Convergence of the boundary element solution is proved and a convergence order is obtained. Copyright Β© 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

## Abstract We investigate unilateral contact problems for micropolar hemitropic elastic solids. Our study includes Tresca friction (given friction model) along some parts of the boundary of the body. We equivalently reduce these problems to boundary variational inequalities with the help of the St
## Abstract Some dynamic contact problems with friction can be formulated as an implicit variational inequality. A time discretization of such an inequality is given here, thus giving rise to a soβcalled incremental solution. The convergence of the incremental solution is established, and then the
## Abstract We show that given any closed subset __C__ of a real Banach space E, there is a continuous function __f__(__t__, __x__) which is Lipschitz continuous in its second variable such that the solution set of the corresponding third kind boundary value problem is homeomorphic to __C__ (Theore
