Variational inequalities in noncompact nonconvex regions

Ching-Yan Lin, Liang-Ju Chu (2003)

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

Similarity:

In this paper, a general existence theorem on the generalized variational inequality problem GVI(T,C,ϕ) is derived by using our new versions of Nikaidô's coincidence theorem, for the case where the region C is noncompact and nonconvex, but merely is a nearly convex set. Equipped with a kind of V₀-Karamardian condition, this general existence theorem contains some existing ones as special cases. Based on a Saigal condition, we also modify the main theorem to obtain another existence theorem...

A Survey on Vector Variational Inequalities

F. Giannessi, G. Matroeni, X. Q. Yang (2009)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

Similarity:

The paper consists in a brief overview on Vector Variational Inequalities (VVI). The connections between VVI and Vector Optimization Problems (VOP) are considered. This leads to point out that necessary optimality conditions for a VOP can be formulated by means of a VVI when the objective function is Gâteaux differentiable and the feasible set is convex. In particular, the existence of solutions and gap functions associated with VVI are analysed. Gap functions provide an equivalent formulation...

Revisiting the construction of gap functions for variational inequalities and equilibrium problems via conjugate duality

Liana Cioban, Ernö Csetnek (2013)

Open Mathematics

Similarity:

Based on conjugate duality we construct several gap functions for general variational inequalities and equilibrium problems, in the formulation of which a so-called perturbation function is used. These functions are written with the help of the Fenchel-Moreau conjugate of the functions involved. In case we are working in the convex setting and a regularity condition is fulfilled, these functions become gap functions. The techniques used are the ones considered in [Altangerel L., Boţ...

Interior proximal method for variational inequalities on non-polyhedral sets

Alexander Kaplan, Rainer Tichatschke (2007)

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

Similarity:

Interior proximal methods for variational inequalities are, in fact, designed to handle problems on polyhedral convex sets or balls, only. Using a slightly modified concept of Bregman functions, we suggest an interior proximal method for solving variational inequalities (with maximal monotone operators) on convex, in general non-polyhedral sets, including in particular the case in which the set is described by a system of linear as well as strictly convex constraints. The convergence...

Ekeland's variational principle in locally p-convex spaces and related results

J. H. Qiu, S. Rolewicz (2008)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

In the framework of locally p-convex spaces, two versions of Ekeland's variational principle and two versions of Caristi's fixed point theorem are given. It is shown that the four results are mutually equivalent. Moreover, by using the local completeness theory, a p-drop theorem in locally p-convex spaces is proven.
