    Generalized quasi-variational-like inequality problem

    Get PDF
    This paper gives some very general results on the generalized quasi-variational-like inequality problem. Since the problem includes all the existing extensions of the classical variational inequality problem as special cases, our existence theorems extend the previous results in the literature by relaxing both continuity and concavity of the functional. The approach adopted in this paper is based on continuous selection-type arguments and thus is quite different from the Berge Maximum Theorem or Hahn-Banach Theorem approach used in the literature

    On the Two Obstacles Problem in Orlicz-Sobolev Spaces and Applications

    We prove the Lewy-Stampacchia inequalities for the two obstacles problem in abstract form for T-monotone operators. As a consequence for a general class of quasi-linear elliptic operators of Ladyzhenskaya-Uraltseva type, including p(x)-Laplacian type operators, we derive new results of C1,αC^{1,\alpha} regularity for the solution. We also apply those inequalities to obtain new results to the N-membranes problem and the regularity and monotonicity properties to obtain the existence of a solution to a quasi-variational problem in (generalized) Orlicz-Sobolev spaces

    Including Social Nash Equilibria in Abstract Economies

    We consider quasi-variational problems (variational problems having constraint sets depending on their own solutions) which appear in concrete economic models such as social and economic networks, financial derivative models, transportation network congestion and traffic equilibrium. First, using an extension of the classical Minty lemma, we show that new upper stability results can be obtained for parametric quasi-variational and linearized quasi-variational problems, while lower stability, which plays a fundamental role in the investigation of hierarchical problems, cannot be achieved in general, even on very restrictive conditions. Then, regularized problems are considered allowing to introduce approximate solutions for the above problems and to investigate their lower and upper stability properties. We stress that the class of quasi-variational problems include social Nash equilibrium problems in abstract economies, so results about approximate Nash equilibria can be easily deduced.quasi-variational, social Nash equilibria, approximate solution, closed map, lower semicontinuous map, upper stability, lower stability
