Synopsis

Noncoercive variational inequalities with sublinear functionals are considered. Necessary and sufficient conditions are given for the solvability of such problems. These conditions are in the form of compatibility conditions-for the data, as well as the boundedness of the solutions to related problems. These results are used for the obstacle problems for the membrance and the elastic contact in the presence of friction.
