A qualitative mathematical analysis of a class of linear variational inequalities via semi-complementarity problems: applications in electronics (Q623456)

The authors consider a class of mixed variational inequalities involving an affine map and a nonsmooth convex function. By using recession cones and/or order monotonicity properties, they establish the existence of solutions for this problem, which extend similar ones for linear complementarity problems. Applications to some applied problems in electronics are described. The paper however does not contain the indication that such problems were introduced by \textit{C.~Lescarret} [C. R. Acad. Sci., Paris 261, 1160--1163 (1965; Zbl 0138.08204)].
