Set-Valued Resolvent Equations and Mixed Variational Inequalities

In this paper, we introduce and study a new class of variational inequalities, which is called the generalized set-valued mixed variational inequality. The resolvent operator technique is used to establish the equivalence among generalized set-valued variational inequalities, fixed point problems, and the generalized set-valued resolvent equations. This equivalence is used to study the existence of a solution of set-valued variational inequalities and to suggest a number of iterative algorithms for solving variational inequalities and related optimization problems. The results proved in this paper represent a significant refinement and improvement of the previously known results in this area.
