A minimax approach to the eigenvalue problem of hemivariational inequalities and applications. (English) Zbl 0829.49005

Appl. Anal. 58, No. 1-2, 53-76 (1995).
The aim of the present paper is the study of the eigenvalue problem for hemivariational inequalities. The minimax approach applied (Mountain-Pass Theorem) is a generalization, proved in this paper, of a result of Rabinowitz for nonsmooth functionals. The main result of the paper states the existence of a nontrivial solution for the eigenvalue problem. Applications concerning yet unsolved mechanical problems illustrate the theory.
