Merit functions and error bounds for generalized variational inequalities

[摘要] We consider the generalized variational inequality and construct certain merit functions associated with this problem. In particular, those merit functions are everywhere nonnegative and their zero-sets are precisely solutions of the variational inequality. We further use those functions to obtain error bounds, i.e., upper estimates for the distance to solutions of the problem. (C) 2003 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
