Variational inequality for the Stokes equations with constraint
In this paper, the existence problem of the variational inequality
for the constrained Stokes equations is considered, in 2- and 3-dimensions
with bounded domain. The evolution equation is governed by the subdierential
which formulates the pointwise constraint by the time-dependent obstacle
functions. Thanks to the penalty method due to Temam, the hindrance of
divergence freeness is avoided. We then characterize the Yosida approximation
of the subdierential and obtain suitable limit conditions.
