Abstract: In this article, we study the existence of solutions for nonlocal variational elliptic inequality
$$ -M(\|u\|^2)\Delta u \geq f(x,u) $$
Making use of the penalized method and Galerkin approximations, we establish existence theorems for both cases when $M$ is continuous and when $M$ is discontinuous.
