Well-posedness for parametric vector equilibrium problems with applications

Abstract

In this paper, we study the parametric well-posedness for vector equilibrium problems and propose a generalized well-posed concept for equilibrium problems with equilibrium constraints (EPEC in short) in topological vector spaces setting. We show that under suitable conditions, the well-posedness defined by approximating solution nets is equivalent to the upper semicontinuity of the solution mapping of perturbed problems. Further, since optimization problems and variational inequality problems are special cases of equilibrium problems, related variational problems can be adopted under some equivalent conditions. Finally, we also study the relationship between well-posedness and parametric well-posedness.
