On different geometric formulations of Lagrangian formalism

We consider two geometric formulations of Lagrangian formalism on fibred manifolds: Krupka's theory of finite order variational sequences, and Vinogradov's infinite order variational sequence associated with the -spectral sequence. On one hand, we show that the direct limit of Krupka's variational bicomplex is a new infinite order variational bicomplex which yields a new infinite order variational sequence. On the other hand, by means of Vinogradov's -spectral sequence, we provide a new finite order variational sequence whose direct limit turns out to be the Vinogradov's infinite order variational sequence. Finally, we provide an equivalence of the two finite order and infinite order variational sequences modulo the space of Euler-Lagrange morphisms.     

Generalized Vector Variational and Quasi-Variational Inequalities with Operator Solutions

In a recent paper, Domokos and Kolumbán introduced variational inequalities with operator solutions to provide a suitable unified approach to several kinds of variational inequality and vector variational inequality in Banach spaces. Inspired by their work, in this paper, we further develop the new scheme of vector variational inequalities with operator solutions from the single-valued case into the multi-valued one. We prove the existence of solutions of generalized vector variational inequalities with operator solutions and generalized quasi-vector variational inequalities with operator solutions. Some applications to generalized vector variational inequalities and generalized quasi-vector variational inequalities in a normed space are also provided.     

Projection Method Approach for General Regularized Non-convex Variational Inequalities

In this paper, we investigate or analyze non-convex variational inequalities and general non-convex variational inequalities. Two new classes of non-convex variational inequalities, named regularized non-convex variational inequalities and general regularized non-convex variational inequalities, are introduced, and the equivalence between these two classes of non-convex variational inequalities and the fixed point problems are established. A projection iterative method to approximate the solutions of general regularized non-convex variational inequalities is suggested. Meanwhile, the existence and uniqueness of solution for general regularized non-convex variational inequalities is proved, and the convergence analysis of the proposed iterative algorithm under certain conditions is studied.     

Weighted Variational Inequalities

In this paper, we introduce weighted variational inequalities over product of sets and system of weighted variational inequalities. It is noted that the weighted variational inequality problem over product of sets and the problem of system of weighted variational inequalities are equivalent. We give a relationship between system of weighted variational inequalities and systems of vector variational inequalities. We define several kinds of weighted monotonicities and establish several existence results for the solution of the above-mentioned problems under these weighted monotonicities. We introduce also the weighted generalized variational inequalities over product of sets, that is, weighted variational inequalities for multivalued maps and systems of weighted generalized variational inequalities. Extensions of weighted monotonicities for multivalued maps are also considered. The existence of a solution of weighted generalized variational inequalities over product of sets is also studied. The existence results for a solution of weighted generalized variational inequality problem give also the existence of solutions of systems of generalized vector variational inequalities. The first and third author express their thanks to the Department of Mathematical Sciences, King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals, Dhahran, Saudi Arabia for providing excellent research facilities. The authors are also grateful to the referees for comments and suggestions improving the final draft of this paper.     

A Class of Differential Vector Variational Inequalities in Finite Dimensional Spaces

In this paper, we introduce and study a class of differential vector variational inequalities in finite dimensional Euclidean spaces. We establish a relationship between differential vector variational inequalities and differential scalar variational inequalities. Under various conditions, we obtain the existence and linear growth of solutions to the scalar variational inequalities. In particular we prove existence theorems for Carathéodory weak solutions of the differential vector variational inequalities. Furthermore, we give a convergence result on Euler time-dependent procedure for solving the initial-value differential vector variational inequalities.     

Lexicographic variational inequalities with applications

In this article, we consider equivalence properties between various kinds of lexicographic variational inequalities. By employing various concepts of monotonicity, we show that the usual sequential variational inequality is equivalent to the direct lexicographic variational inequality or to the dual lexicographic variational inequality. We establish several existence results for lexicographic variational inequalities. Also, we introduce the lexicographic complementarity problem and establish its equivalence with the lexicographic variational inequality. We illustrate our approach by several examples of applications to vector transportation and vector spatial equilibrium problems.     

BOUNDARY ELEMENT APPROXIMATION OF THE SEMI-DISCRETE PARABOLIC VARIATIONAL INEQUALITIES OF THE SECOND KIND

The boundary element approximation of the parabolic variational inequalities of the second kind is discussed. First, the parabolic variational inequalities of the second kind can be reduced to an elliptic variational inequality by using semidiscretization and implicit method in time; then the existence and uniqueness for the solution of nonlinear non-differentiable mixed variational inequality is discussed. Its corresponding mixed boundary variational inequality and the existence and uniqueness of its solution are yielded. This provides the theoretical basis for using boundary element method to solve the mixed vuriational inequality.

Strict feasibility and stable solvability of bifunction variational inequalities

In this paper, we study strict feasibility of a bifunction variational inequality. It is proved that a monotone bifunction variational inequality has a nonempty and bounded solution set if and only if it is strictly feasible. Stable solvability of the bifunction variational inequality is discussed under strict feasibility assumption when the domain set is perturbed. Our results generalize earlier results on the classical variational inequality to the case of the bifunction variational inequality.

On solving the chaotic Chen system: a new time marching design for the variational iteration method using Adomian’s polynomial

This paper centres on the effectiveness of the variational iteration method and its modifications for numerically solving the chaotic Chen system, which is a three-dimensional system of ODEs with quadratic nonlinearities. This research implements the multistage variational iteration method with an emphasis on the new multistage hybrid of variational iteration method with Adomian polynomials. Numerical comparisons are made between the multistage variational iteration method, the multistage variational iteration method using the Adomian’s polynomials and the classic fourth-order Runge-Kutta method. Our work shows that the new multistage hybrid provides good accuracy and efficiency with a performance that surpasses that of the multistage variational iteration method.

Gap functions and global error bounds for set-valued variational inequalities

The set-valued variational inequality problem is very useful in economics theory and nonsmooth optimization. In this paper, we introduce some gap functions for set-valued variational inequality problems under suitable assumptions. By using these gap functions we derive global error bounds for the solution of the set-valued variational inequality problems. Our results not only generalize the previously known results for classical variational inequalities from single-valued case to set-valued, but also present a way to construct gap functions and derive global error bounds for set-valued variational inequality problems.     

Merit functions for general variational inequalities

In this paper, we consider some classes of merit functions for general variational inequalities. Using these functions, we obtain error bounds for the solution of general variational inequalities under some mild conditions. Since the general variational inequalities include variational inequalities, quasivariational inequalities and complementarity problems as special cases, results proved in this paper hold for these problems. In this respect, results obtained in this paper represent a refinement of previously known results for classical variational inequalities.     

The Solvability of Nonlinear Split Ordered Variational Inequality Problems in Partially Ordered Vector Spaces

The concept of nonlinear split ordered variational inequality problems on partially ordered Banach spaces extends the concept of the linear split vector variational inequality problems on Banach spaces, while the latter is a natural extension of vector variational inequality problems on Banach spaces. In this article, we prove the solvability of some nonlinear split vector variational inequality problems by using fixed-point theorems on partially ordered Banach spaces. It is important to notice that in the results obtained in this article, the considered mappings are not required to have any type of continuity and they just satisfy some order-monotonic conditions. Consequently, both the solvability of linear split vector variational inequality problems and vector variational inequality problems will be immediately obtained from the solvability of nonlinear split vector variational inequality problems. We will apply these results to solving nonlinear split vector optimization problems. The underlying spaces of the considered variational inequality problems may just be vector spaces which do not have topological structures, the considered mappings are not required to satisfy any continuity conditions, which just satisfy some order-increasing conditions.
