Abstract

In this paper, we deal with the following generalized quasi-variational inequality problem: given a closed convex subsetX \( \subseteq\)n, a multifunction Φ :X → 2ℝn and a multifunction Γ:X → 2X, find a point (\((\hat x,\hat z)\)) ∈X × ℝn such that\(\hat x in \Gamma (\hat x), \hat z \in \Phi (\hat x)and\left\langle {\hat z,\hat x - y} \right.) \leqslant 0for all y \in \Gamma (\hat x).\) We prove an existence theorem in which, in particular, the multifunction Φ is not supposed to be upper semicontinuous.
