Inverse Problems for Nonlinear Quasi-Variational Inequalities with an Application to Implicit Obstacle Problems of $p$-Laplacian Type

Abstract

The primary objective of this research is to investigate an inverse problem of parameter identification in nonlinear mixed quasi-variational inequalities posed in a Banach space setting. By using a fixed point theorem, we explore properties of the solution set of the considered quasi-variational inequality. We develop a general regularization framework to give an existence result for the inverse problem. Finally, we apply the abstract framework to a concrete inverse problem of identifying the material parameter in an implicit obstacle problem given by an operator of $p$-Laplacian type.
