Variational principles for variational inequalities. (English) Zbl 0678.49010

This paper describes, and analyzes, variational principles for the solutions of a variational inequality on a finite dimensional, closed, convex set. There is no symmetry requirement on the function, or its derivatives. A saddle point characterization of the solutions is also given. The principles are described explicitly for solving inequalities on an n-dimensional box, or ellipsoid. Also for linear and nonlinear complementarity problems.
