Meanings

  1. (not-comparable) Pertaining to a generalization of variational inequalities which covers boundary value problems for partial differential equations with nonmonotone, nonconvex and possibly multivalued laws.
    • The variational formulation of this problem leads to hemivariational inequality with a nonsmooth functional defined on the contact boundary. 2015, Nina Ovcharova, Lothar Banz, “On the coupling of regularization techniques and the boundary element method for a hemivariational inequality modelling a delamination problem”, in arXiv:
