Abstract

In this paper, we consider a nonconvex evolutionary constrained problem for a star-shaped set. The problem is a generalization of the classical evolution variational inequality of parabolic type. We provide an existence result; the proof is based on the hemivariational inequality approach, a surjectivity theorem for multivalued pseudomonotone operators in reflexive Banach spaces, and a penalization method. The admissible set of constraints is closed and star-shaped with respect to a certain ball; this allows one to use a discontinuity property of the generalized Clarke subdifferential of the distance function. An application of our results to a heat conduction problem with nonconvex constraints is provided.
