“…They arise in many applications: electrical circuits with ideal diodes, Coulomb friction problems for contacting bodies, economical dynamics, dynamic traffic networks. The most representative results are as follows: Loi [20] applied the method of integral guiding functions to explore a multi-parameter global bifurcation theorem for differential inclusions with the periodic condition and then employed the abstract results to the study of the two-parameter global bifurcation of periodic solutions for a class of differential variational inequalities in Euclidean spaces; Liu-Zeng-Motreanu [13,17,18] and Liu-Migórski-Zeng [16] proved the existence of solutions for a class of differential mixed variational inequalities in Banach spaces through applying the theory of semigroups, Filippov implicit function lemma and fixed point theorems for condensing multivalued operators; Chen-Wang [1] in 2014 used the idea of DVIs to investigate a dynamic Nash equilibrium problem of multiple players with shared constraints and dynamic decision processes; Nguyen-Tran [28] considered a model of infinite dimensional differential variational inequalities formulated by a parabolic differential inclusion and an elliptic variational inequality, and utilized the theory of measure of noncompactness to prove the existence of global solutions as well as global attractor for the semi-flow governed by the differential variational inequality.
