Abstract

In this paper, we investigate a class of nonlinear boundary hemivariational inequality problems. Under suitable hypotheses, the existence of solutions is established via rewriting these problems into a class of evolution inclusions and using the discretization method and the theory of pseudomonotone operators. Moreover, the continuous dependence result of the solutions to the initial data is given.
