Obstacle Problems in Mathematical Physics

By José-Francisco Rodrigues

An important category of free boundary problems in the area of mathematical physics, obstacle problems involve the applicability of elliptic variational inequalities. This research monograph is intended for advanced undergraduates and graduate students in mathematics and engineering. The three-part treatment introduces mathematical physics, discusses unilateral elliptic variational inequalities, and explores this material in terms of its applications in mechanics and physics. Includes a substantial Bibliography.
