1. Introduction The theory of variational inequalities provides us with an appropriate mathematical model to describe many physical problems (cf. Duvaut and Lions [8]). It was started in 60-ties with the pioneer works of G. Fichera, J.L. Lions, and G. Stampacchia. All the inequality problems studied by the use of these methods were related to convex energy functionals and therefore were closely connected with the notion of monotonicity. In the 80-ties, Panagiotopoulos intro* Corresponding author.

duced the notion of nonconvex superpotential by the use of the general gradient of Clarke [7]. Due to the lack of convexity new types of variational expressions were obtained. These are so called hemivariational inequalities and they are no longer connected with monotonicity. For a comprehensive treatment of the hemivariational inequality problems as well as for many applications, we refer to the monographs of Panagiotopoulos [23, 25], Motreanu and Panagiotopoulos [19], Naniewicz and Panagiotopoulos [20]. In this paper we study the following hyperbolic hemivariational inequality   u + Au + Bu + χ = f, u(0) = ψ0 , u (0) = ψ1 in Ω, (1)  χ(t, x) ∈ ∂j (u(t, x)) a.e. in (0, T ) × Ω, where A ∈ L(H, V  ) is an operator (not necessarily coercive), B ∈ L(V , V  ) is a coercive operator, j : R → R is a locally Lipschitz function, ψ0 , ψ1 : Ω → R and f : (0, T ) → V  are given functions. The model for our problem is the following second-order nonlinear evolution equation called sine-Gordon equation:  2 ∂ u + α ∂u ∂t − ∆u + γ sin u = f, ∂t 2 ∂u u(0, x) = ψ0 (x), ∂t (0, x) = ψ1 (x), which is of great importance because of its physical applications (cf. Temam [31, Chapter IV.2, p. 188]). Our work allows to introduce nonmonotone multivalued constitutive laws into this model. Moreover, in our framework we can consider damping terms more general than simple multiplication by a positive number (see Section 4). We prove the existence of solutions of (1) using a method similar to the parabolic regularization method from the book of Lions and Magenes [15]; namely we approximate the solution of our problem by a sequence of solutions of some modified problems containing a coercive damping term. For the modified problem we apply the result of Gasi´nski [12].

2. Preliminaries Let X be a Banach space with a norm · X and X its topological dual. By ·, · X ×X we shall denote the duality brackets for the pair (X, X ). If X is in addition a Hilbert space, then by (·, ·)X we shall denote the scalar product in X. In the formulation of our hemivariational inequality the crucial role will be played by the notion of Clarke subdifferential of a locally Lipschitz function. A function j : X → R is said to be locally Lipschitz if for every x ∈ X there exists a neighbourhood U of x and a constant kx > 0 depending on U such that |j (z) − j (y)|  kx z − y X

for all z, y ∈ U . In analogy with the directional derivative of a convex function, we define the generalized directional derivative of a locally Lipschitz function j at x ∈ X in the direction h ∈ X by def

j 0 (x; h) = lim sup x → 0 t 0

j (x + x  + th) − j (x + x  ) . t

It is easy to check that the function X  h → j 0 (x; h) ∈ R is sublinear and continuous and that |j 0 (x; h)|  kx h X . Hence by the Hahn–Banach theorem j 0 (x; ·) is the support function of nonempty, convex and w∗ -compact set  def  ∂j (x) = x ∗ ∈ X : x ∗ , h X ×X  j 0 (x; h) for all h ∈ X , known as the Clarke subdifferential of j at x. Note that for every x ∗ ∈ ∂j (x) we have x ∗ X  kx . We have also that if j, g : X → R are locally Lipschitz functions, then ∂(j + g)(x) ⊂ ∂j (x) + ∂g(x) and ∂(tj )(x) = t∂j (x) for all t ∈ R. Moreover, if j : X → R is also convex, then the subdifferential of j in the sense of convex analysis coincides with the generalized subdifferential introduced above. Finally, if j is strictly differentiable at x (in particular if j is continuously Gateaux differentiable at x), then ∂j (x) = {j  (x)}. Let us introduce the following spaces, needed in the sequel: H = L2 (Ω),

  V = H 1 (Ω) = v: v ∈ L2 (Ω), D α v ∈ L2 (Ω) for 0  |α|  1 ,   V  = V  (Ω) = H 1 (Ω) . V It is well-known that V ⊂ H ⊂ V  form an evolution triple. By cH we will denote “the continuity constant” for the embedding V ⊆ H (so also for the embedding H ⊆ V  ). In our evolution case, we will also make use of the following spaces:

H = L2 (0, T ; H ) = L2 ((0, T ) × Ω), V = L2 (0, T ; V ), W = {v: v ∈ V, v  ∈ V  }.

3. Hyperbolic hemivariational inequality Let T > 0 be any positive real number and let N  1. By Ω ⊂ RN we will denote any open and bounded set. We consider the following hyperbolic hemivariational inequality:

Find u ∈ C([0, T ]; V ) ∩ C 1 ([0, T ]; H ) with u ∈ V  and χ ∈ H, such that   u (t) + Au (t) + Bu(t) + χ(t) = f (t)    in V  , for a.a. t ∈ (0, T ), (HVI)  u(0) = ψ0 , u (0) = ψ1 in Ω,    χ(t, x) ∈ ∂j (u(t, x)) for a.a. (t, x) ∈ (0, T ) × Ω, where A ∈ L(H, V  ), B ∈ L(V , V  ), j : R → R, ψ0 , ψ1 : Ω → R and f : (0, T ) → V  are given. For our existence result, we will need the following assumptions: H(j ) j : R → R is a locally Lipschitz function, such that

ξ (i) j (ξ ) = 0 β(s) ds, where β ∈ L∞ loc (R); (ii) for every ξ ∈ R there exist limits limζ →ξ ± β(ζ ); (iii) for every ξ ∈ R, we have |β(ξ )|  c0 (1 + |ξ |r ), with some c0 > 0 and 0  r < 1. H(A) A : H → V  is a linear operator, such that (i) A is continuous, i.e., there exists αA > 0, such that for all v ∈ H , we have Av V   αA v H ; (ii) A|V is nonnegative, i.e., for all v ∈ V , we have Av, v V ×V   0. H(B) B : V → V  is a linear operator, such that (i) B is continuous, i.e., there exists αB > 0, such that for all v ∈ V , we have Bv V   αB v V ; (ii) B is coercive, i.e., there exists βB > 0, such that for all v ∈ V , we have Bv, v V  ×V  βB v 2V ; (iii) B is symmetric, i.e., for all v, w ∈ V , we have Bv, w V  ×V = Bw, v V  ×V . H(f, ψ) f ∈ H, ψ0 ∈ V , ψ1 ∈ H . Now we can state our main result. Theorem 3.1. If hypotheses H(j ), H(A), H(B) and H(f, ψ) hold, then (HVI) admits a solution. First, for any ε > 0 we consider the following regularized hyperbolic hemivariational inequality: Find uε ∈ C([0, T ]; V ) with uε ∈ W and χε ∈ H, such that   uε (t) + Auε (t) + εBuε (t) + Buε (t) + χε (t) = f (t), uε (0) = ψ0 , uε (0) = ψ1 , (HVIε )  χε (t, x) ∈ ∂j (uε (t, x)). Lemma 3.2. If hypotheses H(j ), H(A), H(B) and H(f, ψ) hold, then for any ε > 0 there exists at least one solution uε of (HVIε ).

Proof. This is a consequence of the result of Gasi´nski (see [11] or [12]). To this end note that operator A : (0, T ) × V → V  defined by A(t, v) = A|V v + εBv is pseudomonotone (with respect to v-variable), bounded (in a sense that for a.a. t ∈ (0, T ) and all v ∈ V , we have A(t, v) V   a 1 (t) + c1 v V , with some a 1 ∈ L2 (0, T ), and c1 > 0) and coercive (namely for a.a. t ∈ (0, T ) and all v ∈ V , we have A(t, v), v V  ×V  εβB v 2V ). Thus, using Theorem 3.1 and Remark 3.3 of [12], we obtain our lemma. ✷ In the next lemma we show an estimate on selections of ∂j (u). Lemma 3.3. If hypotheses H(j ) hold and u ∈ C([0, T ]; V ) with u ∈ W and η ∈ H are such that η(t, x) ∈ ∂j (u(t, x)) for almost all (t, x) ∈ (0, T ) × Ω, then

Finally, from (8) and (12)–(14), we obtain (3), with c = c6 + 2c9 + c12 .

(14) ✷

Now we are in the position to prove our main result. Proof of Theorem 3.1. From Lemma 3.4, it follows that for any ε ∈ (0, 1), we have

max uε (t) V + uε (t) H + uε V   c13 , t ∈[0,T ]

with some constant c13 > 0 not depending on ε ∈ (0, 1). Thus, we can choose a sequence {εn }n1 ⊂ (0, 1), such that εn  0 and uε n → u

weakly∗ in L∞ (0, T ; V ),

uεn uεn

weakly∗

→u



in L (0, T ; H ), 

→ u weakly in V .

(15) (16) (17)

But in fact u = u and u = u . It is easy to see that (HVIε ) is equivalent to the following problem: Find uε ∈ C([0, T ]; V ) with uε ∈ W and χε ∈ H, such that    ε + εBu  ε + Bu  ε + χε = f in V  , uε + Au   (HVIε ) u (0) = ψ0 , uε (0) = ψ1 in Ω,  ε χε (t, x) ∈ ∂j (uε (t, x)) for a.a. (t, x) ∈ (0, T ) × Ω, : H → V  and B  : V → V  are the Nemytskii operators corresponding where A to the operators A and B, respectively. Our aim now is to “pass to the limit” in (HVIε ).  and B  are linear and bounded operators, from (15) and (16) we have As A

  weakly in V  ,  ε → Au Au n  εn → Bu  weakly in V  . Bu

(18)

(19) √  Next, from Lemma 3.4 we see that the sequence { εn uεn }n1 remains bounded in V; hence εn uεn → 0 in V.  ε V   αB εn uε V ; thus in But using hypothesis H(B)(i), we have that εn Bu n n fact  ε → 0 εn Bu n

in V  .

(20)

From (15), (16) and the compactness of the embedding W ⊂ H we obtain uε n → u

in H,

and, in particular, possibly passing to a subsequence, uεn (t, x) → u(t, x) for a.a. (t, x) ∈ (0, T ) × Ω.

(21)

Using convergence (15), Lemma 3.3 and extracting a new subsequence if necessary, we obtain χε n → χ

weakly in H,

(22)

with some χ ∈ H; hence also χε n → χ

weakly in L1 ((0, T ) × Ω).

(23)

Now, because of (17)–(20) and (22), we can “pass to the limit” in the equation in (HVIε ) and obtain   + Bu  +χ =f u + Au

in V  .

(24)

Since for all n  1 we have that χεn (t, x) ∈ ∂j (uεn (t, x)) for almost all (t, x) ∈ (0, T ) × Ω, thus, using convergences (21) and (23) and applying Theorem 7.2.2 on p. 273 of Aubin and Frankowska [2] (recall that ∂j is a lower semicontinuous multifunction with convex and closed values), we get χ(t, x) ∈ ∂j (u(t, x))

for a.a. (t, x) ∈ (0, T ) × Ω.

(25) H 1 (0, T ; H ),

Finally, from (15) and (16) we have that uεn → u weakly in hence also weakly in C([0, T ]; H ). Analogously, from (16) and (17) we have that uεn → u weakly in H 1 (0, T ; V  ), hence also weakly in C([0, T ]; V  ). In particular, we have that uεn (0) → u(0)

weakly in H,

uεn (0) → u (0)

weakly in V  .

(26)

To end our proof it remains to show that u ∈ C([0, T ]; V ) ∩ C 1 ([0, T ]; H ).

For this purpose let us recall the definition of the following function space introduced in the book of Lions and Magenes [15]: def  Cs ([0, T ]; X) = u ∈ L∞ (0, T ; X):  (28) u∗ , u(·) X ×X is continuous ∀u∗ ∈ X . Of course, one has C([0, T ]; X) ⊂ Cs ([0, T ]; X). Moreover, if X and Y are two Banach spaces, X being reflexive, with the dense embedding X ⊂ Y , from [15, p. 297, Lemma 8.1] we know that Cs ([0, T ]; Y ) ∩ L∞ (0, T ; X) = Cs ([0, T ]; X).

(29)

In our case, due to (15)–(17) we have that u ∈ C([0, T ]; H ) ∩ L∞ (0, T ; V ), u ∈ C([0, T ]; V  ) ∩ L∞ (0, T ; H ); hence, from (29) we obtain u ∈ Cs ([0, T ]; V ),

(30)



u ∈ Cs ([0, T ]; H ).

(31)

Next, using the same argument as in the proof of Lemma 3.4 (see (5) and the sequel), for any t ∈ [0, T ] we can prove the following energy equality  

u (t) 2H + Bu(t), u(t) V  ×V = ψ1 2H

+ Bψ0 , ψ0 V  ×V

t   + 2 f (s) − Au (s) − χ(s), u (s) V  ×V ds. 0

This shows that the function

is continuous. Take tn , t ∈ [0, T ] such that tn → t and put  2   δn = u (tn ) − u (t)H + Bu(tn ) − Bu(t), u(tn ) − u(t) V  ×V

gives us (27). Now, from (24)–(27) we obtain that u is a solution of the following problem: Find u ∈ C([0, T ]; V ) ∩ C 1 ([0, T ]; H ) with u ∈ V  and χ ∈ H, such that     + Bu  + χ = f in V  , u + Au (HVI ) u(0) = ψ0 , u (0) = ψ1 in Ω,  χ(t, x) ∈ ∂j (u(t, x)) for a.a. (t, x) ∈ (0, T ) × Ω, and in particular u is a solution of (HVI). ✷ .

4. Applications and examples As mentioned in the introduction the classical model for our considerations was the sine-Gordon equation   u + αu − ∆u + γ sin u = f in Ω × R, (SGE) u(0) = ψ0 , u (0) = ψ1 in Ω. Of course, as | sin u|  1 the assumptions of Theorem 3.1 are satisfied if α  0. This is a “single-valued” case where j (u) = − cos u and ∂j (u) = {sin u}. In the sequel we present some examples of “dampings”, which are admissible in our framework. First let us consider a slight generalization of the one used in the sine-Gordon equation; namely Av = av,

with a ∈ L∞ (Ω), a  0 a.e.

In this case (HVI) has the form ∂u ∂ 2u + a(x) + Bu + ∂j (u)  f. 2 ∂t ∂t The above “damping” operators map H into itself. The next two have values in V  . This time take a ∈ W 1,∞ (Ω; RN ) and consider A1 v =

A2 v =

It means this time (HVI) has the form   N ∂u ∂ 2u  ∂ + (x) a + Bu + ∂j (u)  f i ∂t 2 ∂xi ∂t i=1

or, respectively, ∂ 2u  ∂ 2u + a (x) + Bu + ∂j (u)  f. i ∂t 2 ∂t∂xi N

The nonnegativity condition for A1 yields  div a  0 in Ω, (a, n)  0 on ∂Ω, where n is the outer normal to the boundary of Ω. In the case V = H01 (Ω) we could drop the second inequality. Similarly, A2 is nonnegative provided that  div a = 0 in Ω, (a, n) = 0 on ∂Ω. This time, if we took V = H01 (Ω) we would need only the inequality div a  0 a.e. in Ω.
