The Convergence Results of Differential Variational Inequality Problems

Abstract

In this work, we suggest a differential variational inequality in reflexive Banach spaces and construct a sequence with a set of constraints and a penalty parameter. We use the penalty method to prove a unique solution to the problem and make suitable assumptions to prove the convergence of the sequence. The proof is based on arguments for compactness, symmetry, pseudomonotonicity, Mosco convergence, inverse strong monotonicity and Lipschitz continuity. Finally, we discuss the boundary value problem for the differential variational inequality problem as an application.
