Abstract

We shall consider some (a priori simple) examples of optimal control problems governed by variational inequalities corresponding to an obstacle constraint (or unilateral problems). Our aim is to show the difficulties encountered in obtaining “good” optimality conditions of first order, and to give several approaches and the corresponding results.
