Abstract
We consider a nonlinear Neumann problem driven by the p-Laplacian differential operator with a nonsmooth potential (hemivariational inequality). By combining variational with degree theoretic techniques, we prove a multiplicity theorem. In the process we also prove a result of independent interest relating $W_n^{1,p}$ and $C_n^1$ local minimizers, of a nonsmooth locally Lipschitz functional.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
