Some aspects of nonsmooth variational inequalities on Hadamard manifolds

This is the first paper dealing with the study of minimum and maximum principle sufficiency properties for nonsmooth variational inequalities by using gap functions in the setting of Hadamard manifolds. We also provide some characterizations of these two sufficiency properties. We conclude the paper with a discussion of the error bounds for nonsmooth variational inequalities in the setting of Hadamard manifolds.
