Abstract. The paper generalizes to
variational inequalities with a set-valued formulation some results for
scalar and vector Minty variational inequalities of differential type. It
states that the existence of a solution of the (set-valued) variational
inequality is equivalent to an increasing-along-rays property of the
set-valued function and implies that the solution is also a point of
efficiency (minimizer) for the underlying set-valued optimization problem.
A special approach is proposed in order to treat in a uniform way the cases
of several efficient points. Applications to a-minimizers (absolute or ideal efficient points) and w-minimizers (weakly efficient
points) are given. A comparison among the commonly accepted notions of
optimality in set-valued optimization and these which appear to be related
with the set-valued variational inequality leads to two concepts of
minimizers,called here point minimizers and set minimizers. Further the
role of generalized (quasi)convexity is highlighted in the process of
defining a class of functions, such that each solution of the set-valued
optimization problem solves also the set-valued variational inequality. For
a-minimizers and w-minimizers it appears to be useful
*-quasiconvexity and C-quasiconvexity
for set-valued functions.
