On the solvability of a variational inequality problem and application to a problem of two membranes

The purpose of this work is to give a continuous convex function, for which we can characterize the subdifferential, in order to reformulate a variational inequality problem: find u=(u1,u2)∈K such that for all v=(v1,v2)∈K, ∫Ω∇u1∇(v1−u1)+∫Ω∇u2∇(v2−u2)+(f,v−u)≥0 as a system of independent equations, w...
