An optimization result for set-valued mappings and a stability property in vector problems with constraints

First, we prove an existence result relative to minimal points of set-valued mappings. Then, conditions about the upper and lower semicontinuity of constraint sets defined through set-valued mappings are given. Finally, a stability result relative to vector problems with abstract constraints is proved.The author thanks the referee for helpful comments on the first version of this paper.     

Equilibrium problems techniques in the qualitative analysis of quasi-hemivariational inequalities

In this paper, we investigate the problem of existence of solutions of quasi-hemivariational inequalities. Some concepts of semicontinuity and hemicontinuity on subsets for functions as well as for set-valued mappings are developed and applied for solving quasi-hemivariational inequalities. Generalizations of some old results on the existence of solutions of equilibrium problems are obtained and applications to quasi-hemivariational inequalities are derived.     

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.     

Semicontinuity of Approximate Solution Mappings to Parametric Set-Valued Weak Vector Equilibrium Problems

In this article, we obtain some stability results for parametric weak vector equilibrium problem with set-valued mappings. By using a scalarization method, we establish sufficient conditions for the semicontinuity of the approximate solution mappings to parametric set-valued weak vector equilibrium problem under weak assumptions. These results extend and improve some known results in the literature.     

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.     

Upper semicontinuity in a parametric general variational problem and application

In this paper, we give sufficient conditions for the upper semicontinuity property of the solution mapping of a general model which includes many generalized vector quasi-equilibrium problems with set-valued maps as special cases. The main result generalizes and improves several recent results. An example is given to illustrate such generalization and improvement. The main result is also applied to a model which can be interpreted as a system of generalized vector quasi-equilibrium problems with moving cones. The main tools of the paper are some new notions of cone-semicontinuity properties and openness/closedness properties of families of set-valued maps.     

Existence of Solutions of New Generalized Mixed Vector Variational-Like Inequalities in Reflexive Banach Spaces

In this paper, we extend the concept of monotonicity for a vector set-valued mapping to semimonotonicity for a vector set-valued mapping. Then, we prove solvability results for a class of new generalized mixed vector variational-like inequalities by applying the Fan-KKM theorem and Nadler’s result. On the other hand, we introduce the concepts of complete semicontinuity and strong semicontinuity for vector multivalued mappings. Moreover, by using the Brouwer fixed point theorem, we prove the solvability for the class of generalized vector variational-like inequalities without monotonicity assumption. Using this result, we obtain a theorem and corollary that improve and extend some known results.     

Continuity of the efficient solution mapping for vector optimization problems

This paper aims at investigating the continuity of the efficient solution mapping of perturbed vector optimization problems. First, we introduce the concept of the level mapping. We give sufficient conditions for the upper semicontinuity and the lower semicontinuity of the level mapping. The upper semicontinuity and the lower semicontinuity of the efficient solution mapping are established by using the continuity properties of the level mapping. We establish a corollary about the lower semicontinuity of the minimal point set-valued mapping. Meanwhile, we give some examples to illustrate that the corollary is different from the ones in the literature.     

Sensitivity in mixed generalized vector quasiequilibrium problems with moving cones

In this paper, we consider a parametric generalized vector quasiequilibrium problem which is mixed in the sense that several different relations can simultaneously appear in this problem. The moving cones and other data of the problem are assumed to be set-valued maps defined in topological spaces and taking values in topological spaces or topological vector spaces. The main result of this paper gives general verifiable conditions for the solution mapping of this problem to be semicontinuous with respect to a parameter varying in a topological space. The result is proven with the help of notions of cone-semicontinuity of set-valued maps, weaker than the usual concepts of semicontinuity, and an assumption imposed on the set-valued map whose values are the dual cones of the corresponding values of the moving cones.     

Upper semicontinuity result for the solution mapping of a mixed parametric generalized vector quasiequilibrium problem with moving cones

In this paper, we give sufficient conditions for the upper semicontinuity property of the solution mapping of a parametric generalized vector quasiequilibrium problem with mixed relations and moving cones. The main result is proven under the assumption that moving cones have local openness/local closedness properties and set-valued maps are cone-semicontinuous in a sense weaker than the usual sense of semicontinuity. The nonemptiness and the compactness of the solution set are also investigated.

Well-posedness and stability in vector optimization problems using Henig proper efficiency

In this article, we study well-posedness and stability aspects for vector optimization in terms of minimizing sequences defined using the notion of Henig proper efficiency. We justify the importance of set convergence in the study of well-posedness of vector problems by establishing characterization of well-posedness in terms of upper Hausdorff convergence of a minimizing sequence of sets to the set of Henig proper efficient solutions. Under certain compactness assumptions, a convex vector optimization problem is shown to be well-posed. Finally, the stability of vector optimization is discussed by considering a perturbed problem with the objective function being continuous. By assuming the upper semicontinuity of certain set-valued maps associated with the perturbed problem, we establish the upper semicontinuity of the solution map.     

Solution semicontinuity of parametric generalized vector equilibrium problems

In this paper, the lower semicontinuity and continuity of the solution mapping to a parametric generalized vector equilibrium problem involving set-valued mappings are established by using a new proof method which is different from the ones used in the literature.

Further on set-valued equilibrium problems in the pseudo-monotone case and applications to Browder variational inclusions

This paper deals with set-valued equilibrium problems under conditions of pseudo-monotonicity. Concepts such as strict quasi-convexity, hemicontinuity and pseudo-monotonicity for extended real set-valued mappings are introduced and applied to obtain results on the existence of solutions of set-valued equilibrium problems generalizing those in the literature in the pseudo-monotone case. Applications to Browder variational inclusions under weakened conditions are given. In particular, it is shown that the upper semicontinuity from line segments of the involved pseudo-monotone set-valued operator is not needed in the whole space when solving Browder variational inclusions.     

Existence theorems for variational inclusion problems and the set-valued vector Ekeland variational principle in a complete metric space

In this paper, we apply an existence theorem for the variational inclusion problem to study the existence results for the variational intersection problems in Ekeland’s sense and the existence results for some variants of set-valued vector Ekeland variational principles in a complete metric space. Our results contain Ekeland’s variational principle as a special case and our approaches are different to those for any existence theorems for such problems.     

On System of Generalized Vector Quasi-equilibrium Problems with Set-valued Maps

In this paper, we introduce four new types of the system of generalized vector quasi-equilibrium problems with set-valued maps which include system of vector quasi-equilibrium problems, system of vector equilibrium problems, system of variational inequality problems, and vector equilibrium problems in the literature as special cases. We prove the existence of solutions for such kinds of system of generalized vector quasi-equilibrium problems. Consequently, we derive some existence results of a solution for the system of vector quasi-equilibrium problems and the generalized Debreu type equilibrium problem for vector-valued functions.
