The Levitin-Polyak well-posedness by perturbations for systems of general variational inclusion and disclusion problems

In this paper, the notions of the Levitin-Polyak well-posedness by perturbations for system of general variational inclusion and disclusion problems (shortly, (SGVI) and (SGVDI)) are introduced in Hausdorff topological vector spaces. Some sufficient and necessary conditions of the Levitin-Polyak well-posedness by perturbations for (SGVI) (resp., (SGVDI)) are derived under some suitable conditions. We also explore some relations among the Levitin-Polyak well-posedness by perturbations, the existence and uniqueness of solution of (SGVI) and (SGVDI), respectively. Finally, the lower (upper) semicontinuity of the approximate solution mappings of (SGVI) and (SGVDI) are established via the Levitin-Polyak well-posedness by perturbations.     

Well-posedness of mixed variational inequalities, inclusion problems and fixed point problems

We generalize the concept of well-posedness to a mixed variational inequality and give some characterizations of its well-posedness. Under suitable conditions, we prove that the well-posedness of a mixed variational inequality is equivalent to the well-posedness of a corresponding inclusion problem. We also discuss the relations between the well- posedness of a mixed variational inequality and the well-posedness of a fixed point problem. Finally, we derive some conditions under which a mixed variational inequality is well-posed.

Well-posedness for parametric optimization problems with variational inclusion constraint

In this paper, we study the well-posedness for the parametric optimization problems with variational inclusion problems as constraint (or the perturbed problem of optimization problems with constraint). Furthermore, we consider the relation between the well-posedness for the parametric optimization problems with variational inclusion problems as constraint and the well-posedness in the generalized sense for variational inclusion problems.     

Well-posedness for vector equilibrium problems

We introduce and study two notions of well-posedness for vector equilibrium problems in topological vector spaces; they arise from the well-posedness concepts previously introduced by the same authors in the scalar case, and provide an extension of similar definitions for vector optimization problems. The first notion is linked to the behaviour of suitable maximizing sequences, while the second one is defined in terms of Hausdorff convergence of the map of approximate solutions. In this paper we compare them, and, in a concave setting, we give sufficient conditions on the data in order to guarantee well-posedness. Our results extend similar results established for vector optimization problems known in the literature.      

Regularized gap functions for variational problems

We consider variational problems in Banach spaces. Well-posedness concepts for such problems are introduced and investigated by means of two gap functions and their Moreau-Yosida regularizations.     

Estimates of approximate solutions and well-posedness for variational inequalities

The purpose of this paper is to estimate the approximate solutions for variational inequalities. In terms of estimate functions, we establish some estimates of the sizes of the approximate solutions from outside and inside respectively. By considering the behaviors of estimate functions, we give some characterizations of the well-posedness for variational inequalities. This work was partially supported by the Basic and Applied Research Projection of Sichuan Province (05JY029-009-1) and the National Natural Science Foundation of China (10671135).     

Tykhonov well-posedness for lexicographic equilibrium problems

In this paper, we consider the vector equilibrium problems involving lexicographic cone in Banach spaces. We introduce the new concepts of the Tykhonov well-posedness for such problems. The corresponding concepts of the Tykhonov well-posedness in the generalized sense are also proposed and studied. Some metric characterizations of well-posedness for such problems are given. As an application of the main results, several results on well-posedness for the class of lexicographic variational inequalities are derived.     

Well-Posedness for Variational Inequality Problems with Generalized Monotone Set-Valued Maps

In this paper, we introduce two new classes of generalized monotone set-valued maps, namely relaxed μ–p monotone and relaxed μ–p pseudomonotone. Relations of these classes with some other well-known classes of generalized monotone maps are investigated. Employing these new notions, we derive existence and well-posedness results for a set-valued variational inequality problem. Our results generalize some of the well-known results. A gap function is proposed for the variational inequality problem and a lower error bound is obtained under the assumption of relaxed μ–p pseudomonotonicity. An equivalence relation between the well-posedness of the variational inequality problem and that of a related optimization problem pertaining to the gap function is also presented.     

A theorem of variational inclusion problems and various nonlinear mappings

In this paper, we prove a strong convergence theorem for finding a common element of the set of fixed points of a finite family of nonexpansive mappings and the set of solutions of a finite family of variational inclusion problems in Hilbert spaces. Moreover, we utilize our main result to fixed point problems of various nonlinear mappings and the set of solutions of variational inclusion problems.     

Well-Posedness by Perturbations of Variational Problems

In this paper, we consider the extension of the notion of well-posedness by perturbations, introduced by Zolezzi for optimization problems, to other related variational problems like inclusion problems and fixed-point problems. Then, we study the conditions under which there is equivalence of the well-posedness in the above sense between different problems. Relations with the so-called diagonal well-posedness are also given. Finally, an application to staircase iteration methods is presented.     

Scalarization for pointwise well-posed vectorial problems

The aim of this paper is to develop a method of study of Tykhonov well-posedness notions for vector valued problems using a class of scalar problems. Having a vectorial problem, the scalarization technique we use allows us to construct a class of scalar problems whose well-posedness properties are equivalent with the most known well-posedness properties of the original problem. Then a well-posedness property of a quasiconvex level-closed problem is derived.      

Well-posedness and stability for abstract spline problems

In this work well-posedness and stability properties of the abstract spline problem are studied in the framework of reflexive spaces. Tykhonov well-posedness is proved without restrictive assumptions. In the context of Hilbert spaces, also the stronger notion of Levitin-Polyak well-posedness is established. A sequence of parametric problems converging to the given abstract spline problem is considered in order to study stability. Under natural assumptions, convergence results for sequences of solutions of the perturbed problems are obtained.     

Generic well-posedness of variational problems without convexity assumptions

The Tonelli existence theorem in the calculus of variations and its subsequent modifications were established for integrands f which satisfy convexity and growth conditions. In our previous work a generic well-posedness result (with respect to variations of the integrand of the integral functional) without the convexity condition was established for a class of optimal control problems satisfying the Cesari growth condition. In this paper we extend this generic well-posedness result to two classes of variational problems in which the values at the end points are also subject to variations. The main results of the paper are obtained as realizations of a general variational principle.     

Well-posedness for set optimization problems

In this paper, three kinds of well-posedness for set optimization are first introduced. By virtue of a generalized Gerstewitz’s function, the equivalent relations between the three kinds of well-posedness and the well-posedness of three kinds of scalar optimization problems are established, respectively. Then, sufficient and necessary conditions of well-posedness for set optimization problems are obtained by using a generalized forcing function, respectively. Finally, various criteria and characterizations of well-posedness are given for set optimization problems.     

Well-posedness of generalized mixed variational inequalities,inclusion problems and fixed-point problems

We introduced and studied the concept of well-posedness to a generalized mixed variational inequality. Some characterizations are given. Under suitable conditions, we prove that the well-posedness of the generalized mixed variational inequality is equivalent to the well-posedness of the corresponding inclusion problem. We also discuss the relations between the well-posedness of the generalized mixed variational inequality and the well-posedness of the corresponding fixed-point problem. Finally, we derive some conditions under which the generalized mixed variational inequality is well-posed.     

Well-posedness for generalized quasi-variational inclusion problems and for optimization problems with constraints

In this paper, well-posedness of generalized quasi-variational inclusion problems and of optimization problems with generalized quasi-variational inclusion problems as constraints is introduced and studied. Some metric characterizations of well-posedness for generalized quasi-variational inclusion problems and for optimization problems with generalized quasi-variational inclusion problems as constraints are given. The equivalence between the well-posedness of generalized quasi-variational inclusion problems and the existence of solutions of generalized quasi-variational inclusion problems is given under suitable conditions.     

Well-posedness by perturbations of mixed variational inequalities in Banach spaces

In this paper, we consider an extension of the notion of well-posedness by perturbations, introduced by Zolezzi for a minimization problem, to a mixed variational inequality problem in a Banach space. We establish some metric characterizations of the well-posedness by perturbations. We also show that under suitable conditions, the well-posedness by perturbations of a mixed variational inequality problem is equivalent to the well-posedness by perturbations of a corresponding inclusion problem and a corresponding fixed point problem. Also, we derive some conditions under which the well-posedness by perturbations of a mixed variational inequality is equivalent to the existence and uniqueness of its solution.

Some applications of existence theorems to feasible points for various mathematical programs with variational constraints or equilibrium constraints, system of vector saddle point and system of minimax theorem are also given.

Some results on systems of quasi-variational inclusion problems and systems of generalized quasi-variational inclusion problems

In this paper, we study systems of quasi-variational inclusion problem and systems of quasi-variational disclusion problem. From the existence theorems of solution for these two types of problems, we study various types of systems of quasi-variational inclusion problems, systems of quasi-equilibrium problems, systems of quasi-KKM theorem, abstract economics and system of KKM theorem. We also show their equivalent relations. We study further existence theorems of solution for generalized quasi-variational inclusion problem. Our results are different from any existence result in the literature.
