Solvability of parabolic variational-hemivariational inequalities involving space-fractional Laplacian (Q2284071)

Let \(\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N\) be a bounded domain with a Lipschitz boundary; \(0 < T < \infty.\) The author studies the existence of weak solutions to the following problem: \[ \left\{\begin{array}{l} \frac{\partial u}{\partial t} + \mathcal{L}_K u + \partial J (u) + \partial _c \varphi (u) \ni f \quad \mbox{in}\quad \Omega \times (0,T); \\ u(x,t) = 0 \qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\,\,\, \mbox{in} \quad \mathbb{R}^N \setminus \Omega \times (0,T); \\ u(x,0) = u_0 \qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad \mbox{in} \quad \Omega, \end{array} \right. \] where \(\mathcal{L}_K\) is the generalized nonlocal space-fractional Laplace operator defined as \[ \mathcal{L}_K u(x) = - \int_{\mathbb{R}^N} \Bigl(u(x+y) + u(x-y) - 2u(x)\Bigr) K(y)\,dy \quad \mbox{for a.e} \,\, x \in \mathbb{R}^N, \] \(K \colon \mathbb{R}^N \setminus \{0\} \to (0,+\infty)\) is a kernel function; \(\partial J\) denotes the generalized Clarke subdifferential of a locally Lipschitz functional \(J\) and \(\partial_C \varphi\) is the convex subdifferential of a proper convex functional \(\varphi.\)
