Variational inequalities for ferroelectric constitutive modeling

Strong convergence for variational inequalities and equilibrium problems and representations

We introduce an implicit method for nding a common element of the set of solutions of systems of equilibrium problems and the set of common xed points of a sequence of nonexpansive mappings and a representation of nonexpansive mappings. Then we prove the strong convergence of the proposed implicit schemes to the unique solution of a variational inequality, which is the optimality condition for ...

Modeling Context in Cognition using Variational Inequalities

Important aspects of human cognition, like creativity and play, involve dealing with multiple divergent views of objects, goals, and plans. We argue in this paper that the current model of optimization that drives much of modern machine learning research is far too restrictive a paradigm to mathematically model the richness of human cognition. Instead, we propose a much more flexible and powerf...

Iterative Methods for Equilibrium Problems, Variational Inequalities and Fixed Points

Variational Inequalities for Modeling Auction Markets with Price Map- pings

We propose several new models for separate and spatially distributed auction based markets where participants’ reactions are described by general price mappings and show that they admit equivalent variational inequality formulations. This approach is utilized for the derivation of existence and uniqueness results and for construction of efficient solution methods.

Variational Inequalities

Background Equilibrium is a central concept in numerous disciplines including economics, management science/operations research, and engineering. Methodologies that have been applied to the formulation , qualitative analysis, and computation of equilibria have included • systems of equations, • optimization theory, • complementarity theory, and • fixed point theory. Variational inequality theor...
