Abstract
Hemivariational inequalities have been introduced by P. D. Panagiotopoulos (see [179, 180]) to describe, e.g., problems in mechanics and engineering governed by nonconvex, possibly nonsmooth energy functionals (so-called superpotentials). This kind of energy functionals appear if nonmonotone, possibly multivalued constitutive laws are taken into account. Hemivariational inequalities are of the following abstract setting:
