Vector Equilibrium Problems Under Asymptotic Analysis

Given a closed convex set K in Rⁿ; a vector function F:K×K R^m; a closed convex (not necessarily pointed) cone P(x) in ^m with non-empty interior, PP(x) Ø, various existence results to the problemfind xK such that F(x,y)- int P(x) y K under P(x)-convexity/lower semicontinuity of F(x,) and pseudomonotonicity on F, are established. Moreover, under a stronger pseudomonotonicity assumption on F (which reduces to the previous one in case m=1), some characterizations of the non-emptiness of the solution set are given. Also, several alternative necessary and/or sufficient conditions for the solution set to be non-empty and compact are presented. However, the solution set fails to be convex in general. A sufficient condition to the solution set to be a singleton is also stated. The classical case P(x)=^m ₊ is specially discussed by assuming semi-strict quasiconvexity. The results are then applied to vector variational inequalities and minimization problems. Our approach is based upon the computing of certain cones containing particular recession directions of K and F.
