Abstract

In the paper, we introduce a class of delay differential variational inequalities consisting of a system of delay differential equations and variational inequalities. The existence conclusion of Carathéodory’s weak solution for delay differential variational equalities is obtained. Furthermore, an algorithm for solving the delay differential variational inequality is shown, and the convergence analysis for the algorithm is given. Finally, a numerical example is given to verify the validity of the algorithm.
