Download or read book Global Bifurcation in Variational Inequalities written by Vy Khoi Le and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-01 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An up-to-date and unified treatment of bifurcation theory for variational inequalities in reflexive spaces and the use of the theory in a variety of applications, such as: obstacle problems from elasticity theory, unilateral problems; torsion problems; equations from fluid mechanics and quasilinear elliptic partial differential equations. The tools employed are those of modern nonlinear analysis. Accessible to graduate students and researchers who work in nonlinear analysis, nonlinear partial differential equations, and additional research disciplines that use nonlinear mathematics.
