obstacle and unilateral problem; biharmonic operator; dual variational inequality; polar functions
Summary:
The paper presents a problem of duality for the obstacle and unilateral biharmonic problem (the equilibrium of a thin plate with an obstacle inside the domain or on the boundary). The dual variational inequality is derived by introducing polar functions.
