Abstract

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a new unified and general class of variational inequalities, and show some existence and uniqueness results of solutions for this kind of variational inequalities. As an application, we utilize the results presented in this paper to study the Signorini problem in mechanics.
- variational inequality,
- KKM mappings,
- Signorini problem
