Acomprehensive updated account oftheelliptic quasi- andevo- lutionquasi-variationalinequalitiesispresentedbyBaiocchiandCapelo[1].Evolution variational inequalities have been investigated by Lions and Stampacchia [9], Brézis [2,3],DuvautandLions[4],andLions[8].ArelatedgeneralproblemofMoreau’ssweep- ingprocesscanbefoundin[10].Ellipticvariationalandquasi-variational inequalities are discussed in [1] along with the references on evolution variational inequalities. In 1994, Mosco [11] formulated the implicit Signorini problem in terms of the ellip- ticquasi-variational inequalityproblemandindicatedmanyopenproblemsincluding the numerical methods and the probable outlines of the method. Recently, Koˇcvara andOutrata[6]andOutrataandZowe[12]havestudiednumericalsolutionsofquasi- variational inequalities using techniques of nonsmooth optimization. The evolution quasi-variational inequality modeling the evolving shape of a growing pile has been studiedbyPrigozhin[13].Han,Reddy,andSchroeder[5]haveinvestigatedanewclass of evolution inequalities where rate quantities occur in all of its terms.
