Abstract
AbstractWe consider an elliptic variational inequality with unilateral constraints in a Hilbert space X which, under appropriate assumptions on the data, has a unique solution u. We formulate a convergence criterion to the solution u, i.e. we provide necessary and sufficient conditions on a sequence {un}⊂X which guarantee the convergence un→u in the space X. Then we illustrate the use of this criterion to recover well-known convergence results and well-posedness results in the sense of Tykhonov and Levitin–Polyak. We also provide two applications of our results, in the study of a heat transfer problem and an elastic frictionless contact problem, respectively.Keywords: Elliptic variational inequalityconvergence criterionconvergence resultswell-posednesscontactheat transferunilateral constraint2010 MSC: 47J2049J4040A0574M1574M1035J20 AcknowledgmentsThis project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Grant Agreement No. 823731 CONMECH.

期刊介绍:
Applicable Analysis is concerned primarily with analysis that has application to scientific and engineering problems. Papers should indicate clearly an application of the mathematics involved. On the other hand, papers that are primarily concerned with modeling rather than analysis are outside the scope of the journal
General areas of analysis that are welcomed contain the areas of differential equations, with emphasis on PDEs, and integral equations, nonlinear analysis, applied functional analysis, theoretical numerical analysis and approximation theory. Areas of application, for instance, include the use of homogenization theory for electromagnetic phenomena, acoustic vibrations and other problems with multiple space and time scales, inverse problems for medical imaging and geophysics, variational methods for moving boundary problems, convex analysis for theoretical mechanics and analytical methods for spatial bio-mathematical models.
