A dual view of equilibrium problems
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of this paper is to introduce and study a dual problem associated to a generalized equilibrium problem (GEP). We show that the solutions of (GEP) and its dual are strictly related to the saddle points of an associated Lagrangian function, and, under some suitable conditions, to the solutions of a family of parametric optimization problems and their dual problems. Our results allow us to show that well-known concepts and results from duality theory of some important particular cases of (GEP) like variational inequalities and optimization problems can be recovered. © 2007 Elsevier Inc.

متن کاملThe General Multimodal Network Equilibrium Problem with Elastic Balanced Demand
The general multimodal network equilibrium problem with elastic balanced demand is studied. This problem is a combination of trip distribution, modal split and trip assignment problems. The problem is approached from an asymmetric network equilibrium point of view with side constraints. The balances for travel demand are taken as side constraints. These balances do not guarantee that the proble...
متن کاملGame-Theoretic Approach for Pricing Decisions in Dual-Channel Supply Chain
In the current study, a dual-channel supply chain is considered containing one manufacturer and two retailers. It is assumed that the manufacturer and retailers have the same decision powers. A game-theoretic approach is developed to analyze pricing decisions under the centralized and decentralized scenarios. First, the Nash model is established to obtain the equilibrium decisions in the decent...
متن کاملDuality and optimality conditions for generalized equilibrium problems involving DC functions
We consider a generalized equilibrium problem involving DC functions which is called (GEP). For this problem we establish two new dual formulations based on Toland-Fenchel-Lagrange duality for DC programming problems. The first one allows us to obtain a unified dual analysis for many interesting problems. So, this dual coincides with the dual problem proposed by Martinez-Legaz and Sosa in [23] ...
متن کاملExistence and Duality of Generalized ε-Vector Equilibrium Problems
We consider a generalized ε-vector equilibrium problem which contain vector equilibrium problems and vector variational inequalities as special cases. By using the KKM theorem,we obtain some existence theorems for the generalized ε-vector equilibrium problem. We also investigate the duality of this generalized ε-vector equilibrium problem and discuss the equivalence relation between solutions o...
