Exceptional family of elements for generalized variational inequalities

This paper introduces a new concept of exceptional family of elements for a finite-dimensional generalized variational inequality problem. Based on the topological degree theory of set-valued mappings, an alternative theorem is obtained which says that the generalized variational inequality has either a solution or an exceptional family of elements. As an application, we present a sufficient condition to ensure the existence of a solution to the variational inequality. The set-valued mapping is assumed to be upper semicontinuous with nonempty compact convex values.     

Existence of solutions for generalized variational inequality problems in Banach spaces

In this paper, we prove the existence of solutions of generalized variational inequality for upper semicontinuous multivalued mappings with compact contractible values over compact convex subsets in a reflexive Banach space with a Fréchet differentiable norm. Moreover, we give some conditions that guarantee the existence of solutions of generalized variational inequality for upper semicontinuous multivalued mappings with compact contractible values over unbounded closed convex subsets. The result obtained in this paper improves and extends the recent ones announced by Yu and Yang [J. Yu, H. Yang, Existence of solutions for generalized variational inequality problems, Nonlinear Anal., 71 (2009) e2327-e2330] and many others.     

Stability Results for Ekeland's ε Variational Principle for Set-Valued Mappings

In this paper, we define the Mosco convergence and Kuratowski-Painleve (P.K.) convergence for set-valued mapping sequence F n . Under some conditions, we derive the following result If a set-valued mapping sequence F n , which are nonempty, compact valued, upper semicontinuous and uniformly bounded below, Mosco (or P.K.) converges to a set-valued mapping F , which is upper semicontinuous, nonempty, compact valued, then Q l >0, u >0, $\varepsilon / \lambda - {\rm ext}\, F := \{ \bar x \in X : (F(x) - \bar y + \varepsilon / \lambda \Vert x - \bar x \Vert e)$     

An algorithm for generalized variational inequality with pseudomonotone mapping

We suggest an algorithm for a variational inequality with multi-valued mapping. The iteration sequence generated by the algorithm is proven to converge to a solution, provided the multi-valued mapping is continuous and pseudomonotone with nonempty compact convex values.     

Lower Semicontinuity for Parametric Weak Vector Variational Inequalities in Reflexive Banach Spaces

In this paper, we study the solution stability of parametric weak Vector Variational Inequalities with set-valued and single-valued mappings, respectively. We obtain the lower semicontinuity of the solution mapping for the parametric set-valued weak Vector Variational Inequality with strictly C-pseudomapping in reflexive Banach spaces. Moreover, under some requirements that the mapping satisfies the degree conditions, we establish the lower semicontinuity of the solution mapping for a parametric single-valued weak Vector Variational Inequality in reflexive Banach spaces, by using the degree-theoretic approach. The results presented in this paper improve and extend some known results due to Kien and Yao (Set-Valued Anal. 16:399–412, 2008) and Wong (J. Glob. Optim. 46:435–446, 2010).     

A necessary and sufficient condition for upper hemicontinuous set-valued mappings without compact-values being upper demicontinuous

The purpose of this article is to give a characterization of an upper hemicontinuous mapping with non-empty convex values being upper demicontinuous, i.e., we show that an upper hemicontinuous set-valued mapping with non-empty convex values (not necessarily compact-valued) is upper demicontinuous if and only if the set-valued mapping has no interior asymptotic plane.

     

Differential mixed variational inequalities in finite dimensional spaces

In this paper, we introduce and study a class of differential mixed variational inequalities in finite dimensional Euclidean spaces. Under various conditions, we obtain linear growth and bounded linear growth of the solution set for the mixed variational inequalities. Moreover, we present some conclusions which enrich the literature on the mixed variational inequalities and generalize the corresponding results of [4]. In particular we prove existence theorems for weak solutions of a differential mixed variational inequality in the weak sense of Carathéodory by using a result on differential inclusions involving an upper semicontinuous set-valued map with closed convex values. Also by employing the results from differential inclusions we establish a convergence result on Euler time-dependent procedure for solving initial-value differential mixed variational inequalities.     

Exceptional family of elements for a generalized set-valued variational inequality in Banach spaces

This article introduces a new concept of an exceptional family of elements for a generalized set-valued variational inequality in Banach spaces. By using this concept and the degree theory for the generalized set-valued variational inequality introduced by Wang and Huang [Zh.B. Wang and N.J. Huang, Degree theory for a generalized set-valued variational inequality with an application in Banach spaces, J. Glob. Optim. 49 (2011), pp. 343–357], some solvability results for the generalized set-valued variational inequality and its special cases are given in Banach spaces under suitable conditions.     

Minimizing Irregular Convex Functions: Ulam Stability for Approximate Minima

The main concern of this article is to study Ulam stability of the set of ε-approximate minima of a proper lower semicontinuous convex function bounded below on a real normed space X, when the objective function is subjected to small perturbations (in the sense of Attouch & Wets). More precisely, we characterize the class all proper lower semicontinuous convex functions bounded below such that the set-valued application which assigns to each function the set of its ε-approximate minima is Hausdorff upper semi-continuous for the Attouch–Wets topology when the set $\mathcal{C}(X)$ of all the closed and nonempty convex subsets of X is equipped with the Hausdorff topology. We prove that a proper lower semicontinuous convex function bounded below has Ulam-stable ε-approximate minima if and only if the boundary of any of its sublevel sets is bounded.

Continuity, compactness, and degree theory for operators in systems involving p-Laplacians and inclusions

The study of weak solutions for systems of nonlinear partial differential equations of elliptic type with inclusions leads to a multivalued operator of superposition type in Sobolev spaces. We show that, under natural assumptions, this operator has the properties which allow to apply degree theory (fixed point index) for multivalued maps. More precisely, this operator is upper semicontinuous and compact with nonempty convex compact values. For the particular case of systems involving p-Laplacians, we show that there is a homeomorphism transforming the whole system to a situation for which a fixed point index is available.     

Solvability of Langevin differential inclusions with set-valued diffusion terms on Riemannian manifolds

The existence of weak solution is proved for a Langevin type second-order stochastic differential inclusion on a complete Riemannian manifold, having both drift and diffusion terms set-valued. The construction of solution involves integral operators with Riemannian parallel translation and a special sequence of continuous ?-approximations for an upper semicontinuous set-valued mapping with convex bounded closed values, that is proved to converge point-wise to a Borel measurable selection.     

Exceptional family and solution existence of variational inequality problems with set-valued mappings

In this paper, we introduce a new exceptional family for a variational inequality with a set-valued mapping over a general unbounded closed convex set in a Hilbert space. By means of the exceptional family and topological degree theory of set-valued mappings, an alternative theorem and some solution existence theorems are obtained.     

An existence theorem for generalized variational inequalities with discontinuous and pseudomonotone operators

This paper gives a solution existence theorem for a generalized variational inequality problem with an operator which is defined on an infinite dimensional space, which is C-pseudomonotone in the sense of Inoan and Kolumbán [D. Inoan, J. Kolumbán, On pseudomonotone set-valued mappings, Nonlinear Analysis 68 (2008) 47-53], but which may not be upper semicontinuous on finite dimensional subspaces. The proof of the theorem provides a new technique which reduces infinite variational inequality problems to finite ones. Two examples are given and analyzed to illustrate the theorem. Moreover, an example is presented to show that the C-pseudomonotonicity of the operator cannot be omitted in the theorem.

In this paper, we introduce and study the generalized implicit vector variational inequality problems with set valued mappings in topological vector spaces. We establish existence theorems for the solution set of these problems be nonempty compact and convex. Our results extend the results by Fang and Huang [ Existence results for generalized implicit vector variational inequalities with multivalued mappings, Indian J. Pure and Appl. Math. 36(2005), 629–640.]     

Common fixed point theorems and minimax inequalities in locally convex Hausdorff topological vector spaces

In this article, we introduce the concept of a family of set-valued mappings generalized Knaster–Kuratowski–Mazurkiewicz (KKM) w.r.t. other family of set-valued mappings. We then prove that if X is a nonempty compact convex subset of a locally convex Hausdorff topological vector space and 𝒯 and 𝒮 are two families of self set-valued mappings of X such that 𝒮 is generalized KKM w.r.t. 𝒯, under some natural conditions, the set-valued mappings S ∈ 𝒮 have a fixed point. Other common fixed point theorems and minimax inequalities of Ky Fan type are obtained as applications.     

Topological properties of the multifunction space <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">X</Emphasis>) of cusco maps

A set-valued mapping F from a topological space X to a topological space Y is called a cusco map if F is upper semicontinuous and F(x) is a nonempty, compact and connected subset of Y for each x ∈ X. We denote by L(X), the space of all subsets F of X × ℝ such that F is the graph of a cusco map from the space X to the real line ℝ. In this paper, we study topological properties of L(X) endowed with the Vietoris topology.

A class of quasi-variational inequalities for adaptive image denoising and decomposition

We introduce a class of adaptive non-smooth convex variational problems for image denoising in terms of a common data fitting term and a support functional as regularizer. Adaptivity is modeled by a set-valued mapping with closed, compact and convex values, that defines and steers the regularizer depending on the variational solution. This extension gives rise to a class of quasi-variational inequalities. We provide sufficient conditions for the existence of fixed points as solutions, and an algorithm based on solving a sequence of variational problems. Denoising experiments with spatial and spatio-temporal image data and an adaptive total variation regularizer illustrate our approach.     

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
