The aim of this paper is to investigate elliptic variational-hemivariational inequalities on unbounded domains. In particular, by using a recent critical point theorem, existence results of at least two nontrivial solutions are established.
Keywords: multiple solutions, elliptic problem, variational methods., Variational-hemivariational inequality.
