Homotopy methods for solving variational inequalities in unbounded sets (Q556007)

This paper deals with a variational inequality problem (VIP) such that: \[ (x- x^*)^T F(x^*)\geq 0\quad\forall x\in X. \] The authors discuss about homotopy methods for VIPs in an unbounded set. Under classical conditions a smooth path from a given interior point of \(X\) to a solution of VIP is proven to exist. This gives a constructive proof of existence of solution and leads to an implementable globally convergent algorithm to the VIP. Extension to other conditions are also given. This paper only contains theoretical results.
