Generalized Vector Equilibrium Problems for Pseudomonotone Multivalued Bifunctions<Superscript><Emphasis Type="Bold">1</Emphasis></Superscript>

In this paper, we apply a new version of the Brézis, Nirenberg, and Stampacchia theorem; we use pseudomonotonicity and some coercivity conditions to establish some existence result for a solution of generalized vector equilibrium problems for multivalued bifunctions. The proper quasiconvexity of multivalued bifunctions is introduced and existence theorems for generalized vector equilibrium problems related to multivalued mappings with the KKM property are obtained. The new results extend and modify various existence theorems for similar problems.     

On the existence of solutions to generalized quasi-equilibrium problems

In this paper, we apply new results on variational relation problems obtained by D. T. Luc (J Optim Theory Appl 138:65–76, 2008) to generalized quasi-equilibrium problems. Some sufficient conditions on the existence of its solutions of generalized quasi-equilibrium problems are shown. As special cases, we obtain several results on the existence of solutions of generalized Pareto and weak quasi-equilibrium problems concerning C-pseudomonotone multivalued mappings. We deduce also some results on the existence of solutions to generalized vector Pareto and weakly quasivariational inequality and vector Pareto quasi-optimization problems with multivalued mappings.     

System of vector quasi-variational inclusions with some applications

In this paper, we consider systems of vector quasi-variational inclusions which include systems of vector quasi-equilibrium problems for multivalued maps, systems of vector optimization problems and several other systems as special cases. We establish existence results for solutions of these systems. As applications of our results, we derive the existence results for solutions of system vector optimization problems, mathematical programs with systems of vector variational inclusion constraints and bilevel problems. Another application of our results provides the common fixed point theorem for a family of lower semicontinuous multivalued maps. Further applications of our results for existence of solutions of systems of vector quasi-variational inclusions are given to prove the existence of solutions of systems of Minty type and Stampacchia type generalized implicit quasi-variational inequalities. The results of this paper can be seen as extensions and generalizations of several known results in the literature.     

System of Generalized Vector Quasi-Equilibrium Problems with Applications to Fixed Point Theorems for a Family of Nonexpansive Multivalued Mappings

In this paper, we establish the existence theorems of the generalized vector quasi-equilibrium problems. From some existence theorem, we establish fixed point theorems for a family of lower semicontinuous or nonexpansive multivalued mappings. We also obtain the existence theorems of system of mixed generalized vector variational-like inequalities and existence theorems of the Debreu vector equilibrium problems and the Nash vector equilibrium problems.     

Some existence results for solutions of generalized vector quasi-equilibrium problems

In this paper, we consider more general forms of generalized vector quasi-equilibrium problems for multivalued maps which include many known vector quasi-equilibrium problems and generalized vector quasi-variational inequality problems as special cases. We establish some existence results for solutions of these problems under pseudomonotonicity and u-hemicontinuity/ℓ-hemicontinuity assumptions.      

Qualification conditions for multivalued functions in Banach spaces with applications to nonsmooth vector optimization problems

In this paper we introduce qualification conditions for multivalued functions in Banach spaces involving the A-approximate subdifferential, and we show that these conditions guarantee metric regularity of multivalued functions. The results are then applied for deriving Lagrange multipliers of Fritz—John type and Kuhn—Tucker type for infinite non-smooth vector optimization problems.     

Sensitivity analysis for multivalued quasiequilibrium problems in metric spaces: Hölder continuity of solutions

Hölder continuity and uniqueness of the solutions of general multivalued vector quasiequilibrium problems in metric spaces are established. The results are shown to be extensions of recent ones for equilibrium problems with some improvements. Applications in quasivariational inequalities, vector quasioptimization and traffic network problems are provided as examples for others in various optimization—related problems.     

Existence of Solutions of Systems of Generalized Implicit Vector Variational Inequalities

We consider five different types of systems of generalized vector variational inequalities and derive relationships among them. We introduce the concept of pseudomonotonicity for a family of multivalued maps and prove the existence of weak solutions of these problems under these pseudomonotonicity assumptions in the setting of Hausdorff topological vector spaces as well as real Banach spaces. We also establish the existence of a strong solution of our problems under lower semicontinuity for a family of multivalued maps involved in the formulation of the problems. By using a nonlinear scalar function, we introduce gap functions for our problems by which we can solve systems of generalized vector variational inequalities using optimization techniques.

Some generalized vector variational inequalities and complementarity problems for multivalued mappings

In this paper, we introduce and study a new class of generalized vector variational inequalities and complementarity problems for multivalued mappings. We prove the existence of solutions for this kind of vector variational inequality and discuss the relations between the solutions of the generalized vector variational inequalities and the solutions of generalized vector complementarity problems in Hausdorff topological vector spaces. Our results extend and improve some results in this field.     

Lower Semicontinuity Results in Parametric Multivalued Weak Vector Equilibrium Problems and Applications

This article gives new sufficient conditions for the lower semicontinuity of the solution mapping of a parametric multivalued weak vector equilibrium problem with moving cones. A scalarizing approach, based on the signed distance function of Hiriart Urruty is used to discuss this lower semicontinuity property. The main results of the article are obtained under some assumptions different from those introduced earlier by previous linear and nonlinear scalarizing approaches. Some applications to the study of connectedness of weak solution sets of multivalued vector equilibrium problems are given.
