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.

Systems of generalized variational inequalities and their applications ∗

In this paper, we first introduce the system of generalized implicit variational inequalities and prove the existence of its solution. Then we derive existence results for systems of generalized variational and variational like inequalities and system of variational inequalities. As applications, we establish some existence results for a solution to the system of optimization problems which includes the Nash equilibrium problem as a special case     

System of nonsmooth variational inequalities with applications

In this paper, we consider a system of vector variational inequalities and a system of nonsmooth variational inequalities defined by means of Clarke directional derivative. We also consider the Nash equilibrium problem with vector pay-offs and its scalarized form. We present some relations among these systems and problems. The existence results for a solution of system of nonsmooth variational inequalities are given. As a consequence, we derive an existence result for a solution of Nash equilibrium problem with vector pay-offs.     

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.     

Finite difference scheme for variational inequalities

In this paper, we show that a class of variational inequalities related with odd-order obstacle problems can be characterized by a system of differential equations, which are solved using the finite difference scheme. The variational inequality formulation is used to discuss the uniqueness and existence of the solution of the obstacle problems.     

An Optimal L∞–error Estimate for an Approximation of a Parabolic Variational Inequality

In this article, an optimal error estimate for parabolic variational inequalities is studied. Existence and uniqueness of the solution is provided by the introduction of a constructive algorithm. An optimally L^∞-asymptotic behavior in uniform norm is proved using the semi-implicit time scheme combined with the finite element spatial approximation. The approach is based on the concept of subsolutions.

Applications of Generalized Variational and Quasivariational Inequalities with Operator Solutions in a TVS

In a recent paper, Domokos and Kolumbán introduced variational inequalities with operator solutions to provide a unified approach to several kinds of variational inequalities and vector variational inequalities in Banach spaces. Inspired by their work, in a former paper, we extended the scheme of vector variational inequalities with operator solutions from the single-valued case to the multivalued one and provided some applications to generalized vector variational inequalities and generalized quasivector variational inequalities in normed spaces. As a continuation of the former work, in this paper, we further extend those results to more general and tangible cases in the context of Hausdorff topological vector spaces or locally convex spaces.

Extended Projection Methods for Monotone Variational Inequalities

In this paper, we prove that each monotone variational inequality is equivalent to a two-mapping variational inequality problem. On the basis of this fact, a new class of iterative methods for the solution of nonlinear monotone variational inequality problems is presented. The global convergence of the proposed methods is established under the monotonicity assumption. The conditions concerning the implementability of the algorithms are also discussed. The proposed methods have a close relationship to the Douglas–Rachford operator splitting method for monotone variational inequalities.

Generalized Mixed Variational Inequalities and Resolvent Equations

In this paper, we introduce and study a new class of variational inequalities, which is called the generalized mixed variational inequality. Using essentially the resolvent operator concept, we establish the equivalence between the generalized mixed variational inequalities and the system of resolvent equations. This equivalence is used to suggest a number of new iterative algorithms for solving the variational inequalities. Several special cases are discussed which can be obtained from the main results of this paper.     

A Result on Vector Variational Inequalities with Polyhedral Constraint Sets

In this note, by using some well-known results on properly efficient solutions of vector optimization problems, we show that the Pareto solution set of a vector variational inequality with a polyhedral constraint set can be expressed as the union of the solution sets of a family of (scalar) variational inequalities.     

Existence results for Stampacchia and Minty type vector variational inequalities

In this article, we consider the general forms of Stampacchia and Minty type vector variational inequalities for bifunctions and establish the existence of their solutions in the setting of topological vector spaces. We extend these vector variational inequalities for set-valued maps and prove the existence of their solutions in the setting of Banach spaces as well as topological vector spaces. We point out that our vector variational inequalities extend and generalize several vector variational inequalities that appeared in the literature. As applications, we establish some existence results for a solution of the vector optimization problem by using Stampacchia and Minty type vector variational inequalities.

A new method for a class of linear variational inequalities

In this paper we introduce a new iterative scheme for the numerical solution of a class of linear variational inequalities. Each iteration of the method consists essentially only of a projection to a closed convex set and two matrix-vector multiplications. Both the method and the convergence proof are very simple.This work is supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of the P.R. China and NSF of Jiangsu.     

Variational inequalities with operator solutions

The aim of the present paper is to give a new kind of point of view in the theory of variational inequalities. Our approach makes possible the study of both scalar and vector variational inequalities under a great variety of assumptions. One can include here the variational inequalities defined on reflexive or nonreflexive Banach spaces, as well as the vector variational inequalities defined on topological vector spaces.     

Solution smoothness of ill-posed equations in Hilbert spaces: four concepts and their cross connections

Numerical solution of ill-posed operator equations requires regularization techniques. The convergence of regularized solutions to the exact solution can be usually guaranteed, but to also obtain estimates for the speed of convergence one has to exploit some kind of smoothness of the exact solution. We consider four such smoothness concepts in a Hilbert space setting: source conditions, approximate source conditions, variational inequalities, and approximate variational inequalities. Besides some new auxiliary results on variational inequalities the equivalence of the last three concepts is shown. In addition, it turns out that the classical concept of source conditions and the modern concept of variational inequalities are connected via Fenchel duality.
