Keywords:
Lagrange multiplier; parabolic variational inequality
Summary:
Recently, we established some generalizations of the theory of Lagrange multipliers arising from nonlinear programming in Banach spaces, which enable us to treat not only elliptic problems but also parabolic problems in the same generalized framework. The main objective of the present paper is to discuss a typical time-dependent double obstacle problem as a new application of the above mentioned generalization. Actually, we describe it as a usual parabolic variational inequality and then characterize it as a parabolic inclusion by using the Lagrange multiplier and the nonlinear maximal monotone operator associated with the time differential under time-dependent double obstacles.
