Abstract
In this Chapter one discusses existence, uniqueness, Lipschitz continuous dependence on initial conditions and stability of solutions for different evolution initial value problems written in the form of variational inequalities or equalities. Section 1 concerns the study of the Cauchy problem for a first order dynamical variational inequality. Section 2 contains an existence result for the solutions of a Cauchy problem for a second order evolution variational equation. In Section 3 one presents stability, asymptotic stability and unstability results for first order evolution variational inequalities.
