Global Bifurcation in Variational Inequalities - Applications to Obstacle and Unilateral Problems

Bifurcation Problems for Variational Inequalities presents 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 the tools of modern nonlinear analysis. This book is accessible to graduate students and researchers who work in nonlinear analysis, nonlinear partial differential equations, and additional research disciplines that use nonlinear mathematics.
