On a class of Hemivariational inequalities involving hemicontinuous monotone operators. Application in unilateral mechanics

Abstract

The hemivariational inequality approach of P.D. Panagiotopoulos [18]-[22] is used so as to establish the existence of solutions to a class of noncoercive and nonconvex constrained problems in a reflexive Banach space.

Keywords:

• Noncoercive hemivariational inequalities
• Nonconvex contact problems
• elastostatics
