Generalized quasi-variational inequalities for hemi-continuous operators on non-compact sets (Q2746993)

Consider a topological vector space \(E\), a nonempty subset \(X\) of \(E\) and maps \(S:X \to 2^X\), \(T:X \to 2^{E^*}\). The generalized quasivariational inequality problem (GQVI) is to find \(y \in S(y)\), \(w \in T(y)\) such that \(\operatorname {Re} \langle w,y-x \rangle \leq 0\) for all \(x \in S(y)\). Let us note that if \(S \equiv I\) and \(T:X \to E^*\) then this problem reduces to a variational inequality. The authors consider GQVI in locally convex Hausdorff topological vector spaces. Existence theorems are proved for the case of paracompact sets \(X\) and multivalued operators \(T\) which are hemicontinuous and, for any finite subset \(A\) of \(X\), upper semicontinuous from \(\text{co}(A)\) to the week\(^*\)-topology on \(E\).
