Abstract

The aim of this paper is the mathematical study of a general class of semicoercive variational hemivariational inequalities introduced by P.D. Panagiotopoulos in order to formulate problems of mechanics involving nonconvex and nonsmooth energy function. Our approach is based on the asymptotic behavior of the functions which are involved in the variational problems.
