Abstract

Exploiting recent results obtained in the theory of equilibrium problems, we focus on the study of the existence of antiperiodic solutions for a first order hemivariational inequality problem. The problem involved is associated to time dependent pseudomonotone and quasimonotone operators. Our results are new and lead to introduce a new and efficient approach for the study of hemivariational inequality problems.
