On variational aspects of some nonconvex nonsmooth global optimization problem

The paper is devoted to study a global optimization problem for a class of nonsmooth, nonconvex and non-locally Lipschitz functionals on a vector-valued reflexive Banach space. The existence of an element which is both a global minimizer and a solution of the associated hemivariational inequality is proved under some unilateral growth restrictions imposed on nonlinearities and under the assumption that an appropriately modified version of the Hedberg truncation procedure can be applied.On leave from his original institute.
