Abstract

In this paper, we provide an alternative approach to establish the solution existence and uniqueness for elliptic variational-hemivariational inequalities. The new approach is based on elementary results from functional analysis, and thus removes the need of the notion of pseudomonotonicity and the dependence on surjectivity results for pseudomonotone operators. This makes the theory of elliptic variational-hemivariational inequalities more accessible to applied mathematicians and engineers. In addition, equivalent minimization principles are further explored for particular elliptic variational-hemivariational inequalities. Representative examples from contact mechanics are discussed to illustrate application of the theoretical results.
