Nonlinear Robin problems with unilateral constraints and dependence on the gradient

Nikolaos S. Papageorgiou, Calogero Vetro, Francesca Vetro

Abstract:
We consider a nonlinear Robin problem driven by the p-Laplacian, with unilateral constraints and a reaction term depending also on the gradient (convection term). Using a topological approach based on fixed point theory (the Leray-Schauder alternative principle) and approximating the original problem using the Moreau-Yosida approximations of the subdifferential term, we prove the existence of a smooth solution.
