 Some Remarks on Set-Valued Minty Variational Inequalities

Giovanni P. Crespi, Ivan Ginchev, and Matteo Rocca

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.
