We study maximal monotone inclusions from the perspective of (convex) gap functions. We propose a very natural gap function and will demonstrate how this function arises from the Fitzpatrick function — a convex function used effectively to represent maximal monotone operators. • This approach allows us to use the powerful strong Fitzpatrick inequality to analyse solutions of the inclusion. – We...

We prove that the perpetual American put option price of an exponential Lévy process whose jumps come from a compound Poisson process is the classical solution of its associated quasi-variational inequality, that it is C except at the stopping boundary and that it is C everywhere (i.e. the smooth pasting condition always holds). We prove this fact by constructing a sequence of functions, each o...

R China Abstract In this article, we prove the existence of solutions for the general variational inequality j(x, y) ≥ f(x) f(y) and Minty type theorem by using the generalized KKM theorem in topological spaces without linear structure. Some properties of solutions set for t...
