Multivalued nonmonotone dynamic boundary condition

In this paper, we introduce a new class of hemivariational inequalities, called dynamic boundary hemivariational inequalities reflecting the fact that the governing operator is also active on the boundary. In our context, it concerns the Laplace operator with Wentzell (dynamic) boundary conditions perturbed by a multivalued nonmonotone operator expressed in terms of Clarke subdifferentials. We will show that one can reformulate the problem so that standard techniques can be applied. We will use the well-established theory of boundary hemivariational inequalities to prove that under growth and general sign conditions, the dynamic boundary hemivariational inequality admits a weak solution. Moreover, in the situation where the functionals are expressed in terms of locally bounded integrands, a "filling in the gaps" procedure at the discontinuity points is used to characterize the subdifferential on the product space. Finally, we prove that, under a growth condition and eventually smallness conditions, Faedo-Galerkin approximation sequence converges to a desired solution.
