In this paper, an abstract evolutionary hemivariational inequality with a history-dependent operator is studied. First, a result on its unique solvability and solution regularity is proved by applying the Rothe method. Next, we introduce a numerical scheme to solve the inequality and derive error estimates. We apply the results to a quasistatic frictional contact problem in which the material is modeled with a viscoelastic constitutive law, the contact is given in the form of multivalued normal compliance, and friction is described with a subgradient of a locally Lipschitz potential. Finally, for the contact problem, we provide the optimal error estimate.
