Abstract

This paper aims to present some uniqueness and well-posedness results for vector equilibrium problems (for short, VEPs). We first construct a complete metric space M consisting of VEPs satisfying some conditions. Using the method of set-valued analysis, we prove that there exists a dense everywhere residual subset Q of M such that each VEP in Q has a unique solution. Moreover, we introduce and obtain the generalized Hadamard well-posedness and generic Hadamard well-posedness of VEPs by considering the perturbations of both vector-valued functions and feasible sets. As an application, we provide a representation theorem for the solution set to each VEP in M.

Highlights

  • The vector equilibrium problem is a natural generalization of the equilibrium problem for the vector-valued function

  • It is well known that the vector equilibrium problem is a unified model of several fundamental mathematical problems, namely, the vector optimization problem, the vector variational inequality, the vector complementarity problem, the multiobjective game, the vector network equilibrium problem etc

  • The reason why results on uniqueness are so few is due to the fact that except for a few types of mathematical problems, most of the mathematical problems cannot guarantee the uniqueness of the solution

Summary

Introduction

The vector equilibrium problem (for short, VEP) is a natural generalization of the equilibrium problem for the vector-valued function. The study of the generic uniqueness of solutions to VEPs has an essential difficulty: that the values of different vector-valued functions are incomparable. To overcome such a difficulty is one of the main tasks in this paper. Fang et al [ ] investigated the well-posedness of equilibrium problems; Kimura et al [ ] studied the parametric well-posedness for vector equilibrium problems; Bianchi et al [ ] introduced and studied two types of well-posedness for vector equilibrium problems; Li and Li [ ] investigated the Levitin-Polyak well-posedness of vector equilibrium problems with variable domination structures; Salamon [ ] analyzed the Hadamard well-posedness of parametric vector equilibrium problems; Peng et al [ ] investigated several types of Levitin-Polyak well-posedness of generalized vector equilibrium problems Most of these works considered the perturbation of the parameters in the vector-valued functions. Let us recall some definitions and lemmas about set-valued mappings; for more details see [ ].
