Variational Inequalities over Perturbed Polyhedral Convex Sets

This paper provides conditions for existence of a locally unique, Lipschitzian solution of a linear variational inequality posed over a polyhedral convex set in Rn under perturbation of either or both of the constant term in the variational inequality and the right-hand side of the system of linear constraints defining its feasible set. Conditions for perturbation of just the constant term are well known. Here we show that a suitable extension of those conditions suffices for the more general case in which the right-hand side of the constraints varies also. As a consequence, we obtain existence, uniqueness, and Lipschitz continuity properties of solutions of nonlinear variational inequalities posed over perturbed polyhedral convex sets.
