Optimal control of multivalued quasi variational inequalities

Optimal control of various variational problems has been an area of active research. On the other hand, in recent years many important models in mechanics and economics have been formulated as multi-valued quasi variational inequalities. The primary objective of this work is to study optimal control of the general nonlinear problems of this type. Under suitable conditions, we ensure the existence of an optimal control for a quasi variational inequality with multivalued pseudo-monotone maps. Convergence behavior of the control is studied when the data for the state quasi variational inequality is contaminated by some noise. Some possible applications are discussed.     

Generalized multivalued nonlinear quasivariational inclusions

In this paper, we introduce and study a few classes of generalized multivalued nonlinear quasivariational inclusions and generalized nonlinear quasivariational inequalities, which include many classes of variational inequalities, quasivariational inequalities and variational inclusions as special cases. Using the resolvent operator technique for maximal monotone mapping, we construct some new iterative algorithms for finding the approximate solutions of these classes of quasivariational inclusions and quasivariational inequalities. We establish the existence of solutions for this generalized nonlinear quasivariational inclusions involving both relaxed Lipschitz and strongly monotone and generalized pseudocontractive mappings and obtain the convergence of iterative sequences generated by the algorithms. Under certain conditions, we derive the existence of a unique solution for the generalized nonlinear quasivariational inequalities and obtain the convergence and stability results of the Noor type perturbed iterative algorithm. The results proved in this paper represent significant refinements and improvements of the previously known results in this area.     

System of vector quasi-variational inclusions with some applications

In this paper, we consider systems of vector quasi-variational inclusions which include systems of vector quasi-equilibrium problems for multivalued maps, systems of vector optimization problems and several other systems as special cases. We establish existence results for solutions of these systems. As applications of our results, we derive the existence results for solutions of system vector optimization problems, mathematical programs with systems of vector variational inclusion constraints and bilevel problems. Another application of our results provides the common fixed point theorem for a family of lower semicontinuous multivalued maps. Further applications of our results for existence of solutions of systems of vector quasi-variational inclusions are given to prove the existence of solutions of systems of Minty type and Stampacchia type generalized implicit quasi-variational inequalities. The results of this paper can be seen as extensions and generalizations of several known results in the literature.     

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.     

Existence of Solutions of Systems of Generalized Implicit Vector Variational Inequalities

We consider five different types of systems of generalized vector variational inequalities and derive relationships among them. We introduce the concept of pseudomonotonicity for a family of multivalued maps and prove the existence of weak solutions of these problems under these pseudomonotonicity assumptions in the setting of Hausdorff topological vector spaces as well as real Banach spaces. We also establish the existence of a strong solution of our problems under lower semicontinuity for a family of multivalued maps involved in the formulation of the problems. By using a nonlinear scalar function, we introduce gap functions for our problems by which we can solve systems of generalized vector variational inequalities using optimization techniques.

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.

Existence Results for Evolution Noncoercive Hemivariational Inequalities

This paper is devoted to the existence of solutions for evolution hemivariational inequalities as generalizations of evolution variational inequalities to nonconvex functionals. The operators involved are taken to be multivalued and noncoercive. Using the notion of the generalized gradient of Clarke and the recession method, some existence results of solutions are proved.     

Elliptic variational hemivariational inequalities

Nonlinear elliptic differential equations with multivalued nonlinearities

In this paper we study nonlinear elliptic boundary value problems with monotone and nonmonotone multivalued nonlinearities. First we consider the case of monotone nonlinearities. In the first result we assume that the multivalued nonlinearity is defined on all ℝ. Assuming the existence of an upper and of a lower solution, we prove the existence of a solution between them. Also for a special version of the problem, we prove the existence of extremal solutions in the order interval formed by the upper and lower solutions. Then we drop the requirement that the monotone nonlinearity is defined on all of ℝ. This case is important because it covers variational inequalities. Using the theory of operators of monotone type we show that the problem has a solution. Finally in the last part we consider an eigenvalue problem with a nonmonotone multivalued nonlinearity. Using the critical point theory for nonsmooth locally Lipschitz functionals we prove the existence of at least two nontrivial solutions (multiplicity theorem).     

Generalized vector implicit quasi complementarity problems

In this paper, we introduce and study a generalized class of vector implicit quasi complementarity problem and the corresponding vector implicit quasi variational inequality problem. By using Fan-KKM theorem, we derive existence of solutions of generalized vector implicit quasi variational inequalities without any monotonicity assumption and establish the equivalence between those problems in Banach spaces.     

Existence of nonzero solutions for a class of generalized variational inequalities

The existence of nonzero solutions for a class of generalized variational inequalities is studied by topological degree theory for multi-valued mappings in finite dimensional spaces and reflexive Banach space. One of the mappings concerned here is nonlinear with coercive or monotone and other is set-contractive or upper semi-continuous. Under some suitable assumptions, some existence theorems of nonzero solutions for this generalized variational inequalities are obtained.

Projected subgradient techniques and viscosity methods for optimization with variational inequality constraints

In this paper, we propose an easily implementable algorithm in Hilbert spaces for solving some classical monotone variational inequality problem over the set of solutions of mixed variational inequalities. The proposed method combines two strategies: projected subgradient techniques and viscosity-type approximations. The involved stepsizes are controlled and a strong convergence theorem is established under very classical assumptions. Our algorithm can be applied for instance to some mathematical programs with complementarity constraints.

Modified parallel projection methods for the multivalued lexicographic variational inequalities using proximal operator in Hilbert spaces

In this paper, building upon projection methods and parallel splitting-up techniques with using proximal operators, we propose new algorithms for solving the multivalued lexicographic variational inequalities in a real Hilbert space. First, the strong convergence theorem is shown with Lipschitz continuity of the cost mapping, but it must satisfy a strongly monotone condition. Second, the convergent results are also established to the multivalued lexicographic variational inequalities involving a finite system of demicontractive mappings under mild assumptions imposed on parameters. Finally, some numerical examples are developed to illustrate the behavior of our algorithms with respect to existing algorithms.     

Solvability and optimal controls for semilinear fractional evolution hemivariational inequalities

This paper is concerned with the control systems of semilinear fractional evolution hemivariational inequalities and their optimal controls in Banach space. Firstly, the existence of mild solutions is obtained and proved mainly by using a well‐known fixed point theorem of multivalued maps and the properties of generalized Clarke subdifferential. Then, by applying generally mild conditions of cost functionals, we investigate the existence results of the optimal controls for fractional differential evolution hemivariational inequalities. Finally, an example is given to demonstrate the applicability of the main results. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Non-zero solutions for a class of generalized variational inequalities in reflexive Banach spaces

In this paper, we study the existence of nonzero solutions for a class of generalized variational inequalities involving set-contractive mappings by using the fixed point index approach in reflexive Banach spaces.

Existence theorems for generalized vector variational inequalities with a variable ordering relation

In this paper we study the solvability of the generalized vector variational inequality problem, the GVVI problem, with a variable ordering relation in reflexive Banach spaces. The existence results of strong solutions of GVVIs for monotone multifunctions are established with the use of the KKM-Fan theorem. We also investigate the GVVI problems without monotonicity assumptions and obtain the corresponding results of weak solutions by applying the Brouwer fixed point theorem. These results are also the extension and improvement of some recent results in the literature.
