Abstract
In these notes we want to give an overview of the recently developed theory for rate-independent systems. Such systems are used to model hysteresis, dry friction, elastoplasticity, magnetism, and phase transformation, and they are characterized by the fact that the changes of the state are driven solely by changes of the loading. More specifically, if the loading profile is applied with a factora faster to the system, then rescaling the solution with the same factora gives again a solution.
