Lipschitzian stability of parametric variational inequalities over generalized polyhedra in Banach spaces

Abstract

This paper concerns the study of solution maps to parameterized variational inequalities over generalized polyhedra in reflexive Banach spaces. It has been recognized that generalized polyhedral sets are significantly different from the usual convex polyhedra in infinite dimensions and play an important role in various applications to optimization, particularly to generalized linear programming. Our main goal is to fully characterize robust Lipschitzian stability of the aforementioned solution maps entirely via their initial data. This is done on the basis of the coderivative criterion in variational analysis via efficient calculations of the coderivative and related objects for the systems under consideration. The case of generalized polyhedra is essentially more involved in comparison with usual convex polyhedral sets and requires developing elaborated techniques and new proofs of variational analysis.
