On a class of inequality problems with lack of compactness

Abstract

In this paper we prove the existence of at least one solution for a variational-hemivariational inequality on a closed and convex set without using critical point theory. We apply a version of the well-known theorem of Knaster-Kuratowski-Mazurkiewicz. The obtained results can be applied to Schrödinger type problems and to problems with radially symmetric functions.
