Title: Multi-duality in variational inequalities and complementarity problems

Conference ·
OSTI ID:36049

The multi-duality theory in variational inequalities and non linear complementarity problems is studied. By using the method developed by Gao-Strang, the Fenchel-Rockafellar`s duality theory is generalized to the problems {l_angle}DJ (u, {Lambda}u), v {minus} u{r_angle} {ge} 0 {forall}v {element_of} K. It is proved that if {Lambda} is an affine operator, then there exists a complementary gap function in dual problem. Application to the obstacle problem is illustrated, and two dual variational inequalities are established. It is shown that for the same primal problem there may exist different dual problems.
