We consider the application of the globalized semismooth Newton method to the solution of (the KKT conditions of) quasi variational inequalities. We show that the method is globally and locally superlinearly convergent for some important classes of quasi variational inequality problems. We report numerical results to illustrate the practical behavior of the method.

For variational inequalities characterizing saddle points of Lagragians associated with convex programming problems in Hilbert spaces, the convergence of an interior proximal method based on Bregman distance functionals is studied. The convergence results admit a successive approximation of the variational inequality and an inexact treatment of the proximal iterations.

In this paper, we introduce and study a generalized class of vector implicit quasi complementarity problem and the corresponding vector implicit quasi variational inequality problem. By using Fan-KKM theorem, we derive existence of solutions of generalized vector implicit quasi variational inequalities without any monotonicity assumption and establish the equivalence between those problems in B...

In this note we consider some notions of well-posedness for scalar and vector variational inequalities and we recall their connections with optimization problems. Subsequently, we investigate similar connections between well-posedness of a vector optimization problem and a related variational inequality problem and we present a result obtained with scalar characterizations of vector optimality ...

A mixed formulation for a Tresca frictional contact problem in linear elasticity is considered in the context of boundary integral equations, which is later extended to Coulomb friction . The discrete Lagrange multiplier, an approximation of the surface traction on the contact boundary part, is a linear combination of biorthogonal basis functions. In case of curved elements, these are the solut...

In this paper, we consider extended general variational inequalities involving nonlinear operators. Using projection operator technique, we show that extended general variational inequality is equivalent to a fixed point problem. Using this alternative equivalent formulation, we propose and analyze some new algorithms for solving extended general variational inequalities and its variant forms. ...

We suggest and analyze some iterative methods for solving the nonconvex equilibrium variational inequalities using the auxiliary principle technique. We prove that the convergence of implicit method requires only monotonicity....

We prove that the convergence of implicit meth...

In this paper, we study the parametric well-posedness for vector equilibrium problems and propose a generalized well-posed concept for equilibrium problems with equilibrium constraints (EPEC in short) in topological vector spaces setting. We show that under suitable conditions, the well-posedness defined by approximating solution nets is equivalent to the upper semicontinuity of the solution ma...
