非光滑泛函临界点理论的一个应用

本文利用局部Lipschitz泛函的临界点理论，来得到一个改进的半线性方程的Landesman Lazer型结果，问题来自于力学，称为变分不等式的特征值问题，在[3]中，D.Goeleven,D.Motreanu和P.D.Panagiotopoulos等人讨论了共振的情形，并得到了弱解的存在性的结果。但是，在他们结论中（见[3]中定理4．1），条件（H1）与（H2）却是互不相容的，本文得到了变分不等式的特征值问题在共振情形下的弱解存在性的相应结果。     

Gap functions and global error bounds for set-valued variational inequalities

The set-valued variational inequality problem is very useful in economics theory and nonsmooth optimization. In this paper, we introduce some gap functions for set-valued variational inequality problems under suitable assumptions. By using these gap functions we derive global error bounds for the solution of the set-valued variational inequality problems. Our results not only generalize the previously known results for classical variational inequalities from single-valued case to set-valued, but also present a way to construct gap functions and derive global error bounds for set-valued variational inequality problems.     

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.     

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.     

BOUNDARY ELEMENT APPROXIMATION OF THE SEMI-DISCRETE PARABOLIC VARIATIONAL INEQUALITIES OF THE SECOND KIND

The boundary element approximation of the parabolic variational inequalities of the second kind is discussed. First, the parabolic variational inequalities of the second kind can be reduced to an elliptic variational inequality by using semidiscretization and implicit method in time; then the existence and uniqueness for the solution of nonlinear non-differentiable mixed variational inequality is discussed. Its corresponding mixed boundary variational inequality and the existence and uniqueness of its solution are yielded. This provides the theoretical basis for using boundary element method to solve the mixed vuriational inequality.     

Gap Functions and Existence of Solutions to Set-Valued Vector Variational Inequalities

The variational inequality problem with set-valued mappings is very useful in economics and nonsmooth optimization. In this paper, we study the existence of solutions and the formulation of solution methods for vector variational inequalities (VVI) with set-valued mappings. We introduce gap functions and establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a solution of the VVI. It is shown that the optimization problem formulated by using gap functions can be transformed into a semi-infinite programming problem. We investigate also the existence of a solution for the generalized VVI with a set-valued mapping by virtue of the existence of a solution of the VVI with a single-valued function and a continuous selection theorem.     

Minimization principles for elliptic hemivariational inequalities

In this paper, we explore conditions under which certain elliptic hemivariational inequalities permit equivalent minimization principles. It is shown that for an elliptic variational–hemivariational inequality, under the usual assumptions that guarantee the solution existence and uniqueness, if an additional condition is satisfied, the solution of the variational–hemivariational inequality is also the minimizer of a corresponding energy functional. Then, two variants of the equivalence result are given, that are more convenient to use for applications in contact mechanics and in numerical analysis of the variational–hemivariational inequality. When the convex terms are dropped, the results on the elliptic variational–hemivariational inequalities are reduced to that on “pure” elliptic hemivariational inequalities. Finally, two representative examples from contact mechanics are discussed to illustrate application of the theoretical results.     

A class of differential fuzzy variational inequalities in finite-dimensional spaces

In this paper, a new class of differential fuzzy variational inequalities in finite dimensional spaces are introduced and studied. An existence theorem of the Carathéodory weak solution of differential fuzzy variational inequality is established under some suitable conditions. The convergence analysis for time-stepping method for finding the weak solution of the differential fuzzy variational inequality is given. Finally, an example is reported to verify the validity of the proposed algorithm.     

An optimal control problem for two-dimensional Schrödinger equation

In this paper we consider an optimal control problem controlled by three functions which are in the coefficients of a two-dimensional Schrödinger equation. After proving the existence and uniqueness of the optimal solution, we get the Frechet differentiability of the cost functional using Hamilton-Pontryagin function. Then we state a necessary condition to an optimal solution in the variational inequality form using the gradient.     

Banach空间上变分不等式的一个超梯度方法

把王宜举等人[Modified extragradient—type method for variational inequali—ties and verification of the existence of solutions,J.Optim.Theory Appl.,2003,119:167-183]在欧氏空间上求解变分不等式的一个超梯度型方法推广到Banach空间.变分不等式中的算子不要求是一致连续的,其主要优点在于不管变分不等式是否有解,算法都是可执行的.此外,变分不等式的可解性可以通过算法产生的序列的性态来刻画.在适当的条件下,算法产生的序列强收敛于变分不等式的一个解,这是Bregman距离意义下离初始点最近的解.本文的主要结果推广和改善了近来文献中的相应结果.     

Levitin–Polyak well-posedness by perturbations of inverse variational inequalities

The purpose of this paper is to investigate Levitin–Polyak type well-posedness for inverse variational inequalities. We establish some metric characterizations of Levitin–Polyak α-well-posedness by perturbations. Under suitable conditions, we prove that Levitin–Polyak well-posedness by perturbations of an inverse variational inequality is equivalent to the existence and uniqueness of its solution. Moreover, we show that Levitin–Polyak well-posedness by perturbations of an inverse variational inequality is equivalent to Levitin–Polyak well-posedness by perturbations of an enlarged classical variational inequality.     

Differential Vector Variational Inequalities in Finite-Dimensional Spaces

In this paper, a differential vector variational inequality is introduced and studied in finite-dimensional Euclidean spaces. The existence of a Carathéodory weak solution for the differential vector variational inequality is presented under some suitable conditions. Furthermore, the upper semicontinuity and the lower semicontinuity of the solution sets for the differential variational inequality are established when both the mapping and the constraint set are perturbed by two different parameters.     

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.

Exceptional Family of Elements for a Variational Inequality Problem and its Applications

This paper introduces a new concept of exceptional family of elements (abbreviated, exceptional family) for a finite-dimensional nonlinear variational inequality problem. By using this new concept, we establish a general sufficient condition for the existence of a solution to the problem. Such a condition is used to develop several new existence theorems. Among other things, a sufficient and necessary condition for the solvability of pseudo-monotone variational inequality problem is proved. The notion of coercivity of a function and related classical existence theorems for variational inequality are also generalized. Finally, a solution condition for a class of nonlinear complementarity problems with so-called P _* -mappings is also obtained.     

Mann-Type Steepest-Descent and Modified Hybrid Steepest-Descent Methods for Variational Inequalities in Banach Spaces

In this paper, we propose three different kinds of iteration schemes to compute the approximate solutions of variational inequalities in the setting of Banach spaces. First, we suggest Mann-type steepest-descent iterative algorithm, which is based on two well-known methods: Mann iterative method and steepest-descent method. Second, we introduce modified hybrid steepest-descent iterative algorithm. Third, we propose modified hybrid steepest-descent iterative algorithm by using the resolvent operator. For the first two cases, we prove the convergence of sequences generated by the proposed algorithms to a solution of a variational inequality in the setting of Banach spaces. For the third case, we prove the convergence of the iterative sequence generated by the proposed algorithm to a zero of an operator, which is also a solution of a variational inequality.

Numerical techniques for a class of unilateral problems

In this paper, we use the variational inequality theory coupled with Pade approximants to obtain an approximate solution for a class of unilateral problems in elasticity. The results obtained are more efficient than the previously known methods of the same order. The variational inequality formulation is used to discuss the problem of uniqueness and existence of the solution of these unilateral problems.
