In this paper, we study a class of constrained variational-hemivariational inequality problems with nonconvex sets which are star-shaped with respect to a certain ball in a reflexive Banach space. The inequality is a fully nonconvex counterpart of the variational-hemivariational inequality of elliptic type since it contains both, a convex potential and a locally Lipschitz one. Two new results on the existence of a solution are proved by a penalty method applied to a variational-hemivariational inequality penalized by the generalized directional derivative of the distance function of the constraint set. In the first existence theorem, the strong monotonicity of the governing operator and a relaxed monotonicity condition of the Clarke subgradient are assumed. In the second existence result, these two hypotheses are relaxed and a suitable hypothesis on the upper semicontinuity of the operator is adopted. In both results, the penalized problems are solved by using the Knaster, Kuratowski, and Mazurkiewicz (KKM) lemma. For a suffciently small penalty parameter, the solution to the penalized problem solves also the original one. Finally, we work out an example on the interior and boundary semipermeability problem that ilustrate the applicability of our results.

AbstractThe aim of this paper is to introduce and study a new class of problems called partial differential hemivariational inequalities that combines evolution equations and hemivariational inequalities. First, we introduce the concept of strong well-posedness for mixed variational quasi hemivariational inequalities and establish metric characterizations for it. Then we show the existence of solutions and meaningful properties such as measurability and upper semicontinuity for the solution set of the mixed variational quasi hemivariational inequality associated to the partial differential hemivariational inequality. Relying, on these properties we are able to prove the existence of mild solutions for partial differential hemivariational inequalities. Furthermore, we show the compactness of the set of the corresponding mild trajectories.

The aim of this work is to study an inverse problem for a frictional contact model for locking material. The deformable body consists of electro-elastic-locking materials. Here, the locking character makes the solution belong to a convex set, the contact is presented in the form of multivalued normal compliance, and frictions are described with a sub-gradient of a locally Lipschitz mapping. We develop the variational formulation of the model by combining two hemivariational inequalities in a linked system. The existence and uniqueness of the solution are demonstrated utilizing recent conclusions from hemivariational inequalities theory and a fixed point argument. Finally, we provided a continuous dependence result and then we established the existence of a solution to an inverse problem for piezoelectric-locking material frictional contact problem.

This paper is concerned with existence results for inequality problems of typeF0(u;v)+Ψ′(u;v)≥0, for allv∈X, whereXis a Banach space,F:X→ℝis locally Lipschitz, andΨ:X→(−∞+∞]is proper, convex, and lower semicontinuous. HereF0stands for the generalized directional derivative ofFandΨ′denotes the directional derivative ofΨ. The applications we consider focus on the variational-hemivariational inequalities involving thep-Laplacian operator.

We derive a nontrivial solution for a Neumann noncoercive hemivariational inequality using the critical point theory for locally Lipschitz functionals. We use the Mountain-Pass theorem due to Chang (1981).

Abstract This paper is mainly concerned with stochastic fractional hemivariational inequalities of degenerate (or Sobolev) type in Caputo and Riemann-Liouville derivatives with order (1, 2), respectively. Based upon some properties of fractional resolvent family and generalized directional derivative of a locally Lipschitz function, some sufficient conditions are established for the existence and approximate controllability of the aforementioned systems. Particularly, the uniform boundedness for some nonlinear terms, the existence and compactness of certain inverse operator are not necessarily needed in obtained approximate controllability results.

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to study the existence of weak solutions for some classes of hemivariational problems in the Euclidean space ℝd (d ≥ 3). These hemivariational inequalities have a variational structure and, thanks to this, we are able to find a non-trivial weak solution for them by using variational methods and a non-smooth version of the Palais principle of symmetric criticality for locally Lipschitz continuous functionals, due to Krawcewicz and Marzantowicz. The main tools in our approach are based on appropriate theoretical arguments on suitable subgroups of the orthogonal group O(d) and their actions on the Sobolev space H1(ℝd). Moreover, under an additional hypotheses on the dimension d and in the presence of symmetry on the nonlinear datum, the existence of multiple pairs of sign-changing solutions with different symmetries structure has been proved. In connection to classical Schrödinger equations a concrete and meaningful example of an application is presented.

We consider a nonlinear hemivariational inequality with the p-Laplacian at resonance. Using an extension of the nonsmooth mountain pass theorem of Chang, which makes use of the Cerami compactness condition, we prove the existence of a nontrivial solution. Our existence results here extends a recent theorem on resonant hemivariational inequalities, by the authors in 1999.

In this paper we consider quasilinear hemivariational inequalities at resonance. We obtain existence theorems using Landesman-Lazer-type conditions and multiplicity theorems for problems with strong resonance at infinity. Our method of proof is based on the non-smooth critical point theory for locally Lipschitz functions and on a generalized version of the Ekeland variational principle.

AbstractFirst, we prove existence and comparison results for multi-valued elliptic variational inequalities involving Clarke’s generalized gradient of some locally Lipschitz functions as multi-valued term. Only by applying the definition of Clarke’s gradient it is well known that any solution of such a multi-valued elliptic variational inequality is also a solution of a corresponding variational-hemivariational inequality. The reverse is known to be true if the locally Lipschitz functions are regular in the sense of Clarke. Without imposing this kind of regularity the equivalence of the two problems under consideration is not clear at all. The main goal of this paper is to show that the equivalence still holds true without any additional regularity, which will fill a gap in the literature. Existence and comparison results for both multi-valued variational inequalities and variational-hemivariational inequalities are the main tools in the proof of the equivalence of these problems.

We consider a new fractional impulsive differential hemivariational inequality, which captures the required characteristics of both the hemivariational inequality and the fractional impulsive differential equation within the same framework. By utilizing a surjectivity theorem and a fixed point theorem we establish an existence and uniqueness theorem for such a problem. Moreover, we investigate the perturbation problem of the fractional impulsive differential hemivariational inequality to prove a convergence result, which describes the stability of the solution in relation to perturbation data. Finally, our main results are applied to obtain some new results for a frictional contact problem with the surface traction driven by the fractional impulsive differential equation.
