    Generalized set-valued variational inequalities

    Get PDF
    In this paper, we introduce and study a new class of variational inequalities, which is called generalized set-valued variational inequality. The projection technique is used to establish the equivalence among generalized set-valued variational inequalities, fixed point problems and generalized set-valued Wiener-Hopf equations. This equivalence is used to study the existence of a solution of set- valued variational inequalities and to suggest a number of iterative algorithms for solving variational inequalities. We also consider the auxiliary principle technique to study the existence of a solution of the generalized set-valued variational inequalities and to suggest a general and novel iterative algorithm. In addition, we have shown that the auxiliary principle technique can be used to find the equivalent differentiable optimization problem for the generalized set-valued variational inequalities. The results proved in this paper represent a significant refinement and improvement of the previous results

    Recent trends and views on elliptic quasi-variational inequalities

    Get PDF
    We consider state-of-the-art methods, theoretical limitations, and open problems in elliptic Quasi-Variational Inequalities (QVIs). This involves the development of solution algorithms in function space, existence theory, and the study of optimization problems with QVI constraints. We address the range of applicability and theoretical limitations of fixed point and other popular solution algorithms, also based on the nature of the constraint, e.g., obstacle and gradient-type. For optimization problems with QVI constraints, we study novel formulations that capture the multivalued nature of the solution mapping to the QVI, and generalized differentiability concepts appropriate for such problems

    Existence and solution methods for equilibria

    Get PDF
    Equilibrium problems provide a mathematical framework which includes optimization, variational inequalities, fixed-point and saddle point problems, and noncooperative games as particular cases. This general format received an increasing interest in the last decade mainly because many theoretical and algorithmic results developed for one of these models can be often extended to the others through the unifying language provided by this common format. This survey paper aims at covering the main results concerning the existence of equilibria and the solution methods for finding them

    On the stability of solution mapping for parametric generalized vector quasiequilibrium problems

    Get PDF
    AbstractIn this paper, we study the solution stability for a class of parametric generalized vector quasiequilibrium problems. By virtue of the parametric gap function, we obtain a sufficient and necessary condition for the Hausdorff lower semicontinuity of the solution mapping to the parametric generalized vector quasiequilibrium problem. The results presented in this paper generalize and improve some main results of Chen et al. (2010) [34], and Zhong and Huang (2011) [35]

    Generalized Stampacchia Vector Variational-Like Inequalities and Vector Optimization Problems Involving Set-Valued Maps

    Get PDF
    We first obtain that subdifferentials of set-valued mapping from finite-dimensional spaces to finite-dimensional possess certain relaxed compactness. Then using this weak compactness, we establish gap functions for generalized Stampacchia vector variational-like inequalities which are defined by means of subdifferentials. Finally, an existence result of generalized weakly efficient solutions for vector optimization problem involving a subdifferentiable and preinvex set-valued mapping is established by exploiting the existence of a solution for the weak formulation of the generalized Stampacchia vector variational-like inequality via a Fan-KKM lemma

    Gap functions and error bounds for variational-hemivariational inequalities

    Get PDF
    In this paper we investigate the gap functions and regularized gap functions for a class of variational–hemivariational inequalities of elliptic type. First, based on regularized gap functions introduced by Yamashita and Fukushima, we establish some regularized gap functions for the variational–hemivariational inequalities. Then, the global error bounds for such inequalities in terms of regularized gap functions are derived by using the properties of the Clarke generalized gradient. Finally, an application to a stationary nonsmooth semipermeability problem is given to illustrate our main results

    Differential variational-hemivariational inequalities: existence, uniqueness, stability, and convergence

    Get PDF
    The goal of this paper is to study a comprehensive systemcalled differential variational–hemivariational inequality which is com-posed of a nonlinear evolution equation and a time-dependentvariational–hemivariational inequality in Banach spaces. Under the gen-eral functional framework, a generalized existence theorem for differ-ential variational–hemivariational inequality is established by employ-ing KKM principle, Minty’s technique, theory of multivalued analysis,the properties of Clarke’s subgradient. Furthermore, we explore a well-posedness result for the system, including the existence, uniqueness, andstability of the solution in mild sense. Finally, using penalty methods tothe inequality, we consider a penalized problem-associated differentialvariational–hemivariational inequality, and examine the convergence re-sult that the solution to the original problem can be approached, as aparameter converges to zero, by the solution of the penalized problem
