Abstract
The aim of this paper is the study of semicoercive variational hemivariational inequalities. For this study the critical point theory of Ambrosetti, Rabinowitz and Szulkin has been extended for nonsmooth functionals. Moreover, a Saddle Point Theorem and a symmetric version of the Mountain Pass Theorem have been used. After the existence proof of the nonconvex nonsmooth energy minimization problem the critical point approach is applied completing the study of the semicoercive inequality
