We study the notion of solution to an obstacle problem for a strongly monot
one and Lipschitz operator A, when the forcing term is a bounded Radon meas
ure. We obtain existence and uniqueness results. We study also some propert
ies of the obstacle reactions associated with the solutions of the obstacle
problems, obtaining the Lewy-Stampacchia inequality Moreover we investigat
e the interaction between obstacle and data and the complementarity conditi
ons.
