Abstract

In this paper, minimax principles are explored for elliptic mixed hemivariational-variational inequalities. Under certain conditions, a saddle-point formulation is shown to be equivalent to a mixed hemivariational-variational inequality. While the minimax principle is of independent interest, it is employed in this paper to provide an elementary proof of the solution existence of the mixed hemivariational-variational inequality. Theoretical results are illustrated in the applications of two contact problems. (C) 2021 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
