Résumé

We exploit minimization of locally Lipschitz functionals defined on Orlicz-Sobolev spaces along with convexity techniques, to investigate existence of solution of the multivalued equation\ \ $-\Delta_{\Phi} u \in \partial j(.,u) + h$\ \ in $\Omega$, where $\Omega \subset {\bf R}^N$ is a bounded smooth domain, $\Phi: {\bf R} \to [0,\infty)$ is an N-function, $\Delta_{\Phi}$ is the corresponding $\Phi$-Laplacian, $h$ is a measure on $\Omega$ and $\partial j(., u)$ stands for the Clarke generalized gradient of a function $j$ linked with critical growth. Regularity of the solutions is addressed as well.
