Abstract

The aim of the present paper is to discuss the influence which certain perturbations have on the solution of the eigenvalue problem for hemivariational inequalities on a sphere of given radius. The perturbation results in adding a term of the type >g 0(x, u(x); v(x)) to the hemivariational inequality, where g is a locally Lipschitz nonsmooth and nonconvex energy functional. Applications illustrate the theory.
