Quasi-variational problems with non-self map on Banach spaces: Existence and applications

Abstract

This paper focuses on the analysis of generalized quasi-variational inequality problems with non-self constraint map. To study such problems, in Aussel et al. (2016) the authors introduced the concept of the projected solution and proved its existence in finite-dimensional spaces. The main contribution of this paper is to prove the existence of a projected solution for generalized quasi-variational inequality problems with non-self constraint map on real Banach spaces. Then, following the multistage stochastic variational approach introduced in Rockafellar and Wets (2017), we introduce the concept of the projected solution in a multistage stochastic setting, and we prove the existence of such a solution. We apply this theoretical result in studying an electricity market with renewable power sources.
