A two obstacles coupled problem

We consider a system of an evolutionary variational inequality of two obstacles type, depending on the temperature, coupled with the heat equation. We prove existence of solution of this system and we present examples that motivated this work. In particular, with additional assumptions on the data,...

Description
Summary:We consider a system of an evolutionary variational inequality of two obstacles type, depending on the temperature, coupled with the heat equation. We prove existence of solution of this system and we present examples that motivated this work. In particular, with additional assumptions on the data, we prove that solutions of this problem are also solutions of a similar problem where the convex set is of gradient constraint type (that depends on the temperature), improving a previous result.
