From the authors introduction: ``Inspired and motivated by the recent research going on in this field, we introduce a new class of variational inequalities, which is known as the generalized multivalued variational inequality. This class includes many known classes of variational inequality and complementary problems as special cases \(\ldots\) The author has in mind a variational inequality of the following type (\(u\) is the unknown variable, \(w\) and \(y\) are related with \(u\) via set-valued relations, \(g\) and \(A\) are single-valued mappings and \(K\) is a closed convex subset of the Hilbert space \(H\)): \[ \langle w + Ay, v - g(u)\rangle + b(u,v) - b(u, g(u)) \geq 0, \text{\;for\;all \;} v \in K. \] The function \(b(u,v)\) here is linear with respect to \(u\) and satisfies the inequalities \(b(u,v) \leq \mu \| u \| \| v \| \) (for some positive \(\mu\)) and \(b(u,v) - b(u,w) \leq b(u, v - w)\). A theorem is proved that there exists a solution to such a variational inequality, provided some rather technical conditions are fulfilled which ensure the possibility to apply the contraction mapping principle.
