Existence of solutions of inverted variational inequalities

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In this paper we introduce two new generalized variational inequalities, and we give some existence results of the solutions for these variational inequalities involving operators belonging to a recently introduced class of operators. We show by examples, that our results fail outside of this class. Further, we establish a result that may be viewed as a generalization of Minty's theorem, that is, we show that under some circumstances the set of solutions of these variational inequalities coincide. We also show that the operators, involved in these variational inequalities, to belong to the above mentioned class, is essential in obtaining this result. As application, we show that Brouwer's fixed point theorem is an easy consequence of our results.


The interesting paper under review deals with the existence of solutions of inverted variational inequalities. More precisely, the author introduces two new generalized variational inequalities and provides some existence results for these, involving operators which belong to a recently introduced class of \(ql\)-type operators [\textit{S. László}, J. Optim. Theory Appl. 150, No. 3, 425--443 (2011; Zbl 1228.49013)]. It is shown that, under some circumstances, the set of solutions of these variational inequalities coincide, a result which may be viewed as a generalization of the Minty theorem. As an application, the author shows that the Brouwer fixed point theorem is an easy consequence of the results of the paper.
