Abstract
In this Chapter we explain the origins of Unilateral Mechanics and of the Inequality Problems. To do this we use the two notions of convex and of nonconvex superpotentials. We consider boundary conditions resulting from convex or nonconvex, nonsmooth energy functions using the concept of subdifferential or of generalized gradient studied in Chapter 1.
