AbstractThe present paper deals with B V Ps in the theory of semipermeability potentials. Both the cases of interior and boundary semipermeability problems are studied. After the formulation of the problems in terms of hemivariational inequalities and the definition of the regularised problems an existence result is proved. The proof is constructive and may be used for the approximation of the solution of the problem. Finally, the developed method is applied to certain similar problems arising in the theory of elasticity.
