Abstract. We consider an elliptic variational-hemivariational inequality P in a p-uniformly smooth Banach space. We prove that the inequality is governed by a multivalued maximal monotone operator, and, for each \lambda>0, we use the resolvent of this operator to construct an auxiliary fixed point problem, denoted P_\lambda. Next, we perform a parallel study of problems P and P_\lambda based on their intrinsic equivalence. In this way, we prove existence, uniqueness, and well-posedness results with respect to specific Tykhonov triples. The existence of a unique common solution to problems P and P_\lambda is proved by using the Banach contraction principle in the study of Problem P_\lambda. In contrast, the well-posedness of the problems is obtained by using a monotonicity argument in the study of Problem P. Finally, the properties of Problem P_\lambda allow us to deduce a convergence criterion in the study of Problem P.
