Variational inequalities for perturbations of maximal monotone operators in reflexive Banach spaces (Q740776)

Making use of the connections between monotone inclusions and variational inequalities, the authors give solvability statements for variational inequalities defined by means of maximally monotone operators that are perturbed with pseudomonotone operators and of proper, lower and semicontinuous functions, all of them defined on reflexive Banach spaces that are, together with their duals, locally uniformly convex. Interesting results are derived for various choices of the considered elements, for instance when the involved function is taken to be the indicator of a set or when the maximally monotone operator is endowed with more properties. Special attention is paid to results obtained when different additional properties, like boundedness or unboundedness, are assigned to the pseudomonotone perturbation operator. A small section with possible applications of the provided results closes the paper. Worth noticing is also the effort of the authors to mention or comment many results from the literature that are similar to those proven here or turn out to be special cases of them.
