On generalized strong vector variational-like inequalities in Banach spaces

The purpose of this paper is to study the solvability for a class of generalized strong vector variational-like inequalities in reflexive Banach spaces. Firstly, utilizing Brouwer's fixed point theorem, we prove the solvability for this class of generalized strong vector variational-like inequalities without monotonicity assumption under some quite mild conditions. Secondly, we introduce the new concept of pseudomonotonicity for vector multifunctions, and prove the solvability for this class of generalized strong vector variational-like inequalities for pseudomonotone vector multifunctions by using Fan's lemma and Nadler's theorem. Our results give an affirmative answer to an open problem proposed by Chen and Hou in 2000, and also extend and improve the corresponding results of Fang and Huang (2006).
