Abstract

In this paper, we study the existence of solutions for mixed equilibrium problems associated with a set-valued operator in the general setting of vector spaces in duality, and in particular in Banach spaces. We use a Galerkin-type method and the notion of pseudomonotonicity in the sense of Brézis for bifunctions. As application, we study the existence of solutions for quasi-hemivariational inequalities governed by a set-valued mapping and perturbed with a nonlinear term. Our main results can be applied to differential inclusions, evolution equations and evolution hemivariational inequalities.
