Hidden maximal monotonicity in evolutionary variational-hemivariational inequalities

In this paper, we propose a new methodology to study evolutionary variational-hemivariational inequalities based on the theory of evolution equations governed by maximal monotone operators. More precisely, the proposed approach, based on a hidden maximal monotonicity, is used to explore the well-posedness for a class of evolutionary variational-hemivariational inequalities involving history-dependent operators and related problems with periodic and antiperiodic boundary conditions. The applicability of our theoretical results is illustrated through applications to a fractional evolution inclusion and a dynamic semipermeability problem.

Set-valued perturbation to second-order evolution problems with time-dependent subdifferential operators

The main purpose of this work is to study the existence of solutions for a perturbed second-order evolution inclusion involving time-dependent subdifferential operators. Under suitable conditions on the set-valued perturbation, the main result of the paper is proved in the context of a separable Hilbert space. A second-order evolution quasi-variational inequality is also investigated.

Nonlinear Volterra delay evolution inclusions subjected to nonlocal initial conditions

This paper deals with a nonlinear Volterra delay evolution inclusion subjected to a nonlocal implicit initial condition. The evolution inclusion involves an $m$-dissipative operator (possibly multivalued and/or nonlinear) and a noncompact interval. We first consider the evolution inclusion subjected to a local initial condition and prove an existence result for bounded $C^0$-solutions. Then, using a fixed point theorem for upper semicontinuous multifunctions with contractible values, we obtain a global solvability result for the original problem. Finally, we present an example to illustrate the abstract result.

EXISTENCE OF SOLUTIONS FOR FRACTIONAL EVOLUTION INCLUSION WITH APPLICATION TO MECHANICAL CONTACT PROBLEMS

The goal of this paper is to study an evolution inclusion problem with fractional derivative in the sense of Caputo, and Clarke’s subgradient. Using the temporally semi-discrete method based on the backward Euler difference scheme, we introduce a discrete approximation system of elliptic type corresponding to the fractional evolution inclusion problem. Then, we employ the surjectivity of multivalued pseudomonotone operators and discrete Gronwall’s inequality to prove the existence of solutions and its priori estimates for the discrete approximation system. Furthermore, through a limiting procedure for solutions of the discrete approximation system, an existence theorem for the fractional evolution inclusion problem is established. Finally, as an illustrative application, a complicated quasistatic viscoelastic contact problem with a generalized Kelvin–Voigt constitutive law with fractional relaxation term and friction effect is considered.

On some evolution inclusions in non separable Banach spaces

We study a Cauchy problem of a class of nonconvex second-order integro-differential inclusions and a boundary value problem associated to a semilinear evolution inclusion defined by nonlocal conditions in non-separable Banach spaces. The existence of mild solutions is established under Filippov type assumptions.
