Let \(X\) be a separable reflexive Banach space, \(X'\) the dual space of \(X\), \(\langle\cdot, \cdot\rangle\) denote the dual pair between \(X\) and \(X'\), \(M\) be a nonempty convex subset of \(X\). \(A\) and \(G\) be linear operators from \(M\) to \(X'\), \(f\in X'\). In virtue of the theory of pseudomonotone operators, the author deals with the following nonlinear quasi-variational inequalities. Find \(x\in M\) such that \[ \langle Ax, y-x\rangle+ \langle Gx,y- x\rangle\geq \langle f,y- x\rangle\quad\text{for all }y\in M.\tag{1} \] As application of the above theorem, boundary value problems for quasi-linear elliptic equations have been solved. In (1) if \(A\) is a bounded linear monotonic operator on a Hilbert space, \(G\) a nonlinear monotone Lipschitz map, \textit{F. Xiang} [J. Math. Res. Expo. 15, No. 1, 101-104 (1995; Zbl 0831.49015)] showed that (1) has a unique solution. In this paper, the author uses a different method and the pseudomonotone theory generalizing the result by \textit{F. Xiang} (loc. cit.).
