Abstract

We are concerned in this paper with variational inequalities of the form: {A(u), v-u)+(F(u),v-u)≥(L,v-u), VѵϵK, uϵK,} where A is a maximal monotone operator, F is an integral multivalued lower order term, and K is a closed, convex set in a Sobolev space of variable exponent. We study both coercive and noncoercive inequalities. In the noncoercive case, a sub-supersolution approach is followed to obtain the existence and some other qualitative properties of solutions between sub- and supersolutions.
