Perturbation Homotopy Method for Solving Variational Inequalities with General Constraints on an Unbounded Set

Xiaona Fan, Furong Gao, Tingtin Xu

Abstract


In this paper, a new homotopy method is proposed for solving the variational inequality problem (VIP) with both equality and inequality constraints on an unbounded set. To enlarge the scope of initial points, we give a suitable perturbation on the equality constraint. Under certain nonmonotone condition, for almost all initial points in the interior of only inequality constraint set, existence and convergence of a smooth homotopy pathway to a solution of VIP are proved. Preliminary numerical experiments indicate that the method is feasible.

Keywords


variational inequality, combined homotopy method, unbounded set, global convergence.

We have provided the online access of all issues and papers to the indexing agencies (as given on journal web site). It’s depend on indexing agencies when, how and what manner they can index or not. Hence, we like to inform that on the basis of earlier indexing, we can’t predict the today or future indexing policy of third party (i.e. indexing agencies) as they have right to discontinue any journal at any time without prior information to the journal. So, please neither sends any question nor expects any answer from us on the behalf of third party i.e. indexing agencies.Hence, we will not issue any certificate or letter for indexing issue. Our role is just to provide the online access to them. So we do properly this and one can visit indexing agencies website to get the authentic information. Also: DOI is paid service which provided by a third party. We never mentioned that we go for this for our any journal. However, journal have no objection if author go directly for this paid DOI service.
