Abstract

We consider a general elliptic quasivariational-hemivariational inequality in real Hilbert spaces for which we provide a solution existence and uniqueness result, a convergent iterative procedure, and a Lipschitz continuous dependence result that we use in order to deduce the existence of a solution to an associated optimal control problem. As an example for applications of the abstract
 results, we consider a new model of static contact problem which describes the equilibrium of an elastic body with a reactive foundation. The weak formulation of the model is a quasivariational hemivariational inequality for the displacement field. We present theoretical results on the analysis and control of the contact problem.
