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

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

Levitin-Polyak well-posedness of a generalized mixed variational inequality in Banach spaces

In this paper, we first introduce the concept of Levitin-Polyak well-posedness of a generalized mixed variational inequality in Banach spaces and establish some characterizations of its Levitin-Polyak well-posedness. Under suitable conditions, we prove that the Levitin-Polyak well-posedness of a generalized mixed variational inequality is equivalent to the Levitin-Polyak well-posedness of a corresponding inclusion problem and a corresponding fixed point problem. We also derive some conditions under which a generalized mixed variational inequality in Banach spaces is Levitin-Polyak well-posed.

Solvability of Generalized Variational Inequality Problems for Unbounded Sets in Reflexive Banach Spaces

By employing the notion of exceptional family of elements, we establish some existence results for generalized variational inequality problems in reflexive Banach spaces provided that the mapping is upper sign-continuous. We show that the nonexistence of an exceptional family of elements is a necessary condition for the solvability of the dual variational inequality. For quasimonotone variational inequalities, we present some sufficient conditions for the existence of strong solutions. For the pseudomonotone case, the nonexistence of an exceptional family of elements is proved to be an equivalent characterization of the problem having strong solutions. Furthermore, we establish several equivalent conditions for the solvability for the pseudomonotone case. As a byproduct, a quasimonotone generalized variational inequality is proved to have a strong solution if it is strictly feasible. Moreover, for the pseudomonotone case, the strong solution set is nonempty and bounded if it is strictly feasible.

Equilibrium Problems under Generalized Convexity and Generalized Monotonicity

Generalized convex functions preserve many valuable properties of mathematical programming problems with convex functions. Generalized monotone maps allow for an extension of existence results for variational inequality problems with monotone maps. Both models are special realizations of an abstract equilibrium problem with numerous applications, especially in equilibrium analysis (e.g., Blum and Oettli, 1994). We survey existence results for equilibrium problems obtained under generalized convexity and generalized monotonicity. We consider both the scalar and the vector case. Finally existence results for a system of vector equilibrium problems under generalized convexity are surveyed which have applications to a system of vector variational inequality problems. Throughout the survey we demonstrate that the results can be obtained without the rigid assumptions of convexity and monotonicity.

Lexicographic variational inequalities with applications

In this article, we consider equivalence properties between various kinds of lexicographic variational inequalities. By employing various concepts of monotonicity, we show that the usual sequential variational inequality is equivalent to the direct lexicographic variational inequality or to the dual lexicographic variational inequality. We establish several existence results for lexicographic variational inequalities. Also, we introduce the lexicographic complementarity problem and establish its equivalence with the lexicographic variational inequality. We illustrate our approach by several examples of applications to vector transportation and vector spatial equilibrium problems.     

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.     

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.     

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.

The system of generalized vector equilibrium problems with applications

In this paper, we introduce the system of generalized vector equilibrium problems which includes as special cases the system of generalized implicit vector variational inequality problems, the system of generalized vector variational and variational-like inequality problems and the system of vector equilibrium problems. By using a maximal element theorem, we establish existence results for a solution of these systems. As an application, we derive existence results for a solution of a more general Nash equilibrium problem for vector-valued functions.     

Strict Feasibility for Generalized Mixed Variational Inequality in Reflexive Banach Spaces

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the nonemptiness and boundedness of solution set for a generalized mixed variational inequality with strict feasibility in reflexive Banach spaces. A concept of strict feasibility for the generalized mixed variational inequality is introduced, which recovers the existing concepts of strict feasibility for variational inequalities and complementarity problems. By using the equivalence characterization of nonemptiness and boundedness of the solution set for the generalized mixed variational inequality due to Zhong and Huang (J. Optim. Theory Appl. 147:454–472, 2010), it is proved that the generalized mixed variational inequality problem has a nonempty bounded solution set is equivalent to its strict feasibility.     

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     

Duality for generalized equilibrium problem

We introduce a generalized equilibrium problem (GEP) that allow us to develop a robust dual scheme for this problem, based on the theory of conjugate functions. We obtain a unified dual analysis for interesting problems. Indeed, the Lagrangian duality for convex optimization is a particular case of our dual problem. We establish necessary and sufficient optimality conditions for GEP that become a well-known theorem given by Mosco and the dual results obtained by Morgan and Romaniello, which extend those introduced by Auslender and Teboulle for a variational inequality problem.     

Topics on Variational Analysis and Applications to Equilibrium Problems

We observe how many equilibrium problems obey a generalized complementarity condition, which in general leads to a variational inequality. We illustrate this fact, by studying the elastic–plastic torsion problem and finding the related Lagrange multipliers.     

Descent methods for a class of generalized variational inequalities

In this paper we propose a class of differentiable gap functions in order to formulate a generalized variational inequality (GVI) problem, involving a set-valued map with closed and convex graph, as an optimization problem. We also show that under appropriate assumptions on the set-valued map, any stationary point of the equivalent optimization problem is a global optimal solution and solves the GVI. Finally, we describe descent methods for solving the optimization problem equivalent to the GVI and we prove its global convergence.     

Differential properties and optimality conditions for generalized weak vector variational inequalities

In this paper, we study a generalized weak vector variational inequality, which is a generalization of a weak vector variational inequality and a Minty weak vector variational inequality. By virtue of a contingent derivative and a Φ-contingent cone, we investigate differential properties of a class of set-valued maps and obtain an explicit expression of its contingent derivative. We also establish some necessary optimality conditions for solutions of the generalized weak vector variational inequality, which generalize the corresponding results in the literature. Furthermore, we establish some unified necessary and sufficient optimality conditions for local optimal solutions of the generalized weak vector variational inequality. Simultaneously, we also show that there is no gap between the necessary and sufficient conditions under an appropriate condition.
