Well-posedness by perturbations of mixed variational inequalities in Banach spaces

In this paper, we consider an extension of the notion of well-posedness by perturbations, introduced by Zolezzi for a minimization problem, to a mixed variational inequality problem in a Banach space. We establish some metric characterizations of the well-posedness by perturbations. We also show that under suitable conditions, the well-posedness by perturbations of a mixed variational inequality problem is equivalent to the well-posedness by perturbations of a corresponding inclusion problem and a corresponding fixed point problem. Also, we derive some conditions under which the well-posedness by perturbations of a mixed variational inequality is equivalent to the existence and uniqueness of its solution.     

One Approach to the Comparison of Error Bounds at a Point and on a Set in the Solution of Ill-Posed Problems

The approximate solution of ill-posed problems by the regularization method always involves the issue of estimating the error. It is a common practice to use uniform bounds on the whole class of well-posedness in terms of the modulus of continuity of the inverse operator on this class. Local error bounds, which are also called error bounds at a point, have been studied much less. Since the solution of a real-life ill-posed problem is unique, an error bound obtained on the whole class of well-posedness roughens to a great extent the true error bound. In the present paper, we study the difference between error bounds on the class of well-posedness and error bounds at a point for a special class of ill-posed problems. Assuming that the exact solution is a piecewise smooth function, we prove that an error bound at a point is infinitely smaller than the exact bound on the class of well-posedness.     

Levitin–Polyak well-posedness by perturbations of inverse variational inequalities

The purpose of this paper is to investigate Levitin–Polyak type well-posedness for inverse variational inequalities. We establish some metric characterizations of Levitin–Polyak α-well-posedness by perturbations. Under suitable conditions, we prove that Levitin–Polyak well-posedness by perturbations of an inverse variational inequality is equivalent to the existence and uniqueness of its solution. Moreover, we show that Levitin–Polyak well-posedness by perturbations of an inverse variational inequality is equivalent to Levitin–Polyak well-posedness by perturbations of an enlarged classical variational inequality.     

On the well-posedness of incompressible flow in porous media with supercritical diffusion

In this article we study the heat transfer equation with a supercritical diffusion term of an incompressible fluid in porous media governed by Darcy's law. We obtain the global well-posedness for small initial data belonging to critical Besov spaces and the local well-posedness for arbitrary initial data. We further show the pointwise blowup criterion.     

Well-posedness for parametric quasivariational inequality problems and for optimization problems with quasivariational inequality constraints

In this article, the concepts of well-posedness and well-posedness in the generalized sense are introduced for parametric quasivariational inequality problems with set-valued maps. Metric characterizations of well-posedness and well-posedness in the generalized sense, in terms of the approximate solutions sets, are presented. Characterization of well-posedness under certain compactness assumptions and sufficient conditions for generalized well-posedness in terms of boundedness of approximate solutions sets are derived. The study is further extended to discuss well-posedness for an optimization problem with quasivariational inequality constraints.     

Well-Posedness by Perturbations of Variational Problems

In this paper, we consider the extension of the notion of well-posedness by perturbations, introduced by Zolezzi for optimization problems, to other related variational problems like inclusion problems and fixed-point problems. Then, we study the conditions under which there is equivalence of the well-posedness in the above sense between different problems. Relations with the so-called diagonal well-posedness are also given. Finally, an application to staircase iteration methods is presented.     

Extended Well-Posedness Properties of Vector Optimization Problems

In this paper, the concept of extended well-posedness of scalar optimization problems introduced by Zolezzi is generalized to vector optimization problems in three ways: weakly extended well-posedness, extended well-posedness, and strongly extended well-posedness. Criteria and characterizations of the three types of extended well-posedness are established, generalizing most of the results obtained by Zolezzi for scalar optimization problems. Finally, a stronger vector variational principle and Palais-Smale type conditions are used to derive sufficient conditions for the three types of extended well-posedness.     

Global well-posedness of the initial value problem for the Hirota-Satsuma system

This paper discusses the global well-posedness of the initial value problem for a mathematical model proposed by Hirota and Satsuma. In order to derive the global well-posedness we employ Kato's theory for abstract evolution equations together with some delicate a priori estimates obtained by using harmonic analysis techniques.     

On the Marchenko System and the Long-time Behavior of Multi-soliton Solutions of the One-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii Equation

We establish a rigorous well-posedness results for the Marchenko system associated to the scattering theory of the one dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation (GP). Under some assumptions on the scattering data, these well-posedness results provide regular solutions for (GP). We also construct particular solutions, called Nsoliton solutions as an approximate superposition of traveling waves. A study for the asymptotic behaviors of such solutions when t → ± ∞ is also made.

Here we consider the global well-posedness of the 3D viscous primitive equations of the large-scale ocean. Inspired by the methods in Cao etc\cite{CT3} and Guo etc\cite{GH2}, we prove the global well-posedness and the long-time dynamics for the primitive equations.     

Levitin–Polyak well-posedness for parametric quasivariational inequality problem of the Minty type

In this paper, we introduce the notions of Levitin?CPolyak (LP) well-posedness and Levitin?CPolyak well-posedness in the generalized sense, for a parametric quasivariational inequality problem of the Minty type. Metric characterizations of LP well-posedness and generalized LP well-posedness, in terms of the approximate solution sets are presented. A parametric gap function for the quasivariational inequality problem is introduced and an equivalence relation between LP well-posedness of the parametric quasivariational inequality problem and that of the related optimization problem is obtained.     

Levitin–Polyak well-posedness of vector equilibrium problems

In this paper, two types of Levitin–Polyak well-posedness of vector equilibrium problems with variable domination structures are investigated. Criteria and characterizations for two types of Levitin–Polyak well-posedness of vector equilibrium problems are shown. Moreover, by virtue of a gap function for vector equilibrium problems, the equivalent relations between the Levitin–Polyak well-posedness for an optimization problem and the Levitin–Polyak well-posedness for a vector equilibrium problem are obtained.

Characterizations of Levitin–Polyak well-posedness by perturbations for the split variational inequality problem

The purpose of this paper is to investigate Levitin–polyak well-posedness by perturbations of the split variational inequality problem in reflexive Banach spaces. Furi-Vignoli-type characterizations are established for the well-posedness. We prove that the weak generalized Levitin–Polyak well-posedness by perturbations is equivalent to the nonemptiness and boundedness of the solution set of the problem. Finally, we discuss the relations between the Levitin–Polyak well-posedness by perturbations of the split variational inequality problem and the Levitin–Polyak well-posedness by perturbations of the split minimization problem when the split variational inequality problem arises from the split minimization problem.     

Well-posedness of mixed variational inequalities, inclusion problems and fixed point problems

We generalize the concept of well-posedness to a mixed variational inequality and give some characterizations of its well-posedness. Under suitable conditions, we prove that the well-posedness of a mixed variational inequality is equivalent to the well-posedness of a corresponding inclusion problem. We also discuss the relations between the well- posedness of a mixed variational inequality and the well-posedness of a fixed point problem. Finally, we derive some conditions under which a mixed variational inequality is well-posed.

Tykhonov well-posedness for lexicographic equilibrium problems

In this paper, we consider the vector equilibrium problems involving lexicographic cone in Banach spaces. We introduce the new concepts of the Tykhonov well-posedness for such problems. The corresponding concepts of the Tykhonov well-posedness in the generalized sense are also proposed and studied. Some metric characterizations of well-posedness for such problems are given. As an application of the main results, several results on well-posedness for the class of lexicographic variational inequalities are derived.
