Review text

The paper deals with the minimization of a nonlocally Lipschitz functional \[ I= \Phi+ J- g:V\to \mathbb{R}\cup\{+\infty\} \] on \(V= W^{1,r}(\Omega; \mathbb{R}^N)\) for an open bounded set \(\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^m\) and \(r\geq{2m\over m+1}\), where \(\Phi\) is continuous with a discontinuous Gâteaux derivative, \(J(u)= \int_\Omega j(u)d\Omega\) if \(j(u)\in L^1(\Omega)\) and \(J(u)= +\infty\) otherwise, with a locally Lipschitz function \(j: \mathbb{R}^N\to \mathbb{R}\), and \(g\in V^*\). Under a general unilateral growth condition, the main result of the paper establishes that a necessary condition for \(u\in V\) to be a global minimizer of \(I\) over \(V\) is that \(u\) is a solution of the hemivariational inequality \[ \langle\Phi'(u)- g, v-u\rangle_V+ \int_\Omega j^0(u; v-u)d\Omega\geq 0,\quad \forall v\in V, \] where \(j^0\) stands for Clarke's generalized directional derivative of \(j\). Other related information is obtained. The argument is based on the application of the Ekeland variational principle and a Galerkin approximation method.
