Set-valued equilibrium problems with applications to Browder variational inclusions and to fixed point theory

In this paper, we deal with set-valued equilibrium problems under mild conditions of continuity and convexity on subsets recently introduced in the literature. We obtain that neither semicontinuity nor convexity are needed on the whole domain when solving set-valued and single-valued equilibrium problems. As applications, we derive some existence results for Browder variational inclusions, and we extend the well-known Berge maximum theorem in order to obtain two versions of Kakutani and Schauder fixed point theorems.     

Further on Set-Valued Equilibrium Problems and Applications to Browder Variational Inclusions

In this paper, we introduce some concepts of convexity and semicontinuity for real set-valued mappings similar to those of real single-valued mappings. Then, we obtain different results on the existence of solutions of set-valued equilibrium problems generalizing in a common way several old ones for both single-valued and set-valued equilibrium problems. Applications to Browder variational inclusions, with weakened conditions on the involved set-valued operator, are given.

Continuity of solutions for parametric variational inequalities in Banach space

We consider here a type of pseudo-monotone parametric variational inequalities on a class of Banach spaces and show that such problems admit continuous (with respect to the parameter) solutions, as long as generic existence and uniqueness conditions for these solutions are satisfied. In particular, we show that such results are valid on a class of Banach spaces whenever we deal with strong pseudo-monotonicity, while others are valid in Hilbert spaces, whenever strict monotonicity is present. We also provide examples to illustrate the new results.

Regularization of quasi-variational inequalities

An ill-posed quasi-variational inequality with contaminated data can be stabilized by employing the elliptic regularization. Under suitable conditions, a sequence of bounded regularized solutions converges strongly to a solution of the original quasi-variational inequality. Moreover, the conditions that ensure the boundedness of regularized solutions, become sufficient solvability conditions. It turns out that the regularization theory is quite strong for quasi-variational inequalities with set-valued monotone maps but restrictive for generalized pseudo-monotone maps. The results are quite general and are applicable to ill-posed variational inequalities, hemi-variational inequalities, inverse problems, and split feasibility problem, among others.     

From solvability and approximation of variational inequalities to solution of nondifferentiable optimization problems in contact mechanics

In this paper, we first gather existence results for linear and for pseudo-monotone variational inequalities in reflexive Banach spaces. We discuss the necessity of the involved coerciveness conditions and their relationship. Then, we combine Mosco convergence of convex closed sets with an approximation of pseudo-monotone bifunctions and provide a convergent approximation procedure for pseudo-monotone variational inequalities in reflexive Banach spaces. Since hemivariational inequalities in linear elasticity are pseudo-monotone, our approximation method applies to nonmonotone contact problems. We sketch how regularization of the involved nonsmooth functionals together with finite element approximation lead to an efficient numerical solution method for these nonconvex nondifferentiable optimization problems. To illustrate our theory, we give a numerical example of a 2D linear elastic block under a given nonmonotone contact law.     

Iterative algorithms for a new class of extended general nonconvex set-valued variational inequalities

Some new classes of extended general nonconvex set-valued variational inequalities and the extended general Wiener-Hopf inclusions are introduced. By the projection technique, equivalence between the extended general nonconvex set-valued variational inequalities and the fixed point problems as well as the extended general nonconvex Wiener-Hopf inclusions is proved. Then by using this equivalent formulation, we discuss the existence of solutions of the extended general nonconvex set-valued variational inequalities and construct some new perturbed finite step projection iterative algorithms with mixed errors for approximating the solutions of the extended general nonconvex set-valued variational inequalities. We also verify that the approximate solutions obtained by our algorithms converge to the solutions of the extended general nonconvex set-valued variational inequalities. The results presented in this paper extend and improve some known results from the literature.

Iterative solving of variational inclusions under Wijsman perturbations

We prove that the metric regularity of set-valued mappings is stable under some Wijsman-type perturbations. Then, we solve a variational inclusion viewed as a limit-problem using assumptions on a sequence of associated problems. Finally, we apply our results to classical methods for solving variational inclusions.      

Existence of minimizers and necessary conditions in set-valued optimization with equilibrium constraints

In this paper we study set-valued optimization problems with equilibrium constraints (SOPECs) described by parametric generalized equations in the form 0 ∈ G(x) + Q(x), where both G and Q are set-valued mappings between infinite-dimensional spaces. Such models particularly arise from certain optimization-related problems governed by set-valued variational inequalities and first-order optimality conditions in nondifferentiable programming. We establish general results on the existence of optimal solutions under appropriate assumptions of the Palais-Smale type and then derive necessary conditions for optimality in the models under consideration by using advanced tools of variational analysis and generalized differentiation.

Set-valued quasi variational inclusions

In this paper, we introduce and study a new class of variational inclusions, called the set-valued quasi variational inclusions. The resolvent operator technique is used to establish the equivalence between the set-valued quasi variational inclusions and the fixed point problem. This equivalence is used to study the existence of a solution and to suggest a number of iterative algorithms for solving the set-valued variational inclusions. We also study the convergence criteria of these algorithms.

Existence theorems via duality for equilibrium problems with trifunctions

We present an existence result for an equilibrium problem formulated with trifunctions, which is motivated by variational inequalities governed by quasimonotone operators. To prove the existence result, we define the dual problem, and some monotonicity notions for trifunctions. From the main result follow, among others, the Browder–Minty theorem for variational inequalities and Ky Fan’s Minimax theorem. Some applications for mixed equilibrium problems and variational inequalities are given.     

A Scalarization Approach for Vector Variational Inequalities with Applications

We consider an approach to convert vector variational inequalities into an equivalent scalar variational inequality problem with a set-valued cost mapping. Being based on this property, we give an equivalence result between weak and strong solutions of set-valued vector variational inequalities and suggest a new gap function for vector variational inequalities. Additional examples of applications in vector optimization, vector network equilibrium and vector migration equilibrium problems are also given Mathematics Subject Classification(2000). 49J40, 65K10, 90C29     

Generalized solutions of quasi variational inequalities

This paper deals with multivalued quasi variational inequalities with pseudo-monotone and monotone maps. The primary objective of this work is to show that the notion of generalized solutions can be employed to investigate multivalued pseudo-monotone quasi variational inequalities. It is a well-known fact that a quasi variational inequality can conveniently be posed as a fixed point problem through the so-called variational selection. For pseudo-monotone maps, the associated variational selection is a nonconvex map, and the fixed point theorems can only be applied under restrictive assumptions on the data of quasi variational inequalities. On the other hand, the generalized solutions are defined by posing a minimization problem which can be solved by a variant of classical Weierstrass theorem. It turns out that far less restrictive assumptions on the data are needed in this case. To emphasis on the strong difference between a classical solution and a generalized solution, we also give a new existence theorem for quasi variational inequalities with monotone maps. The main existence result is proved under a milder coercivity condition. We also relax a few other conditions from the monotone map. Due to its flexibility, it seems that the notion of generalized solutions can be employed to study quasi variational inequalities for other classes of maps as well.
