Abstract:
Let E be a real reflexive Banach space. A mapping T: D E → 2E* is said to be strictly quasi-monotone if (g, x -y)>0 for some g T y implies that (f, x -y)>0 for f T x, where x, y D. In this paper, we first study variational inequality problems for strictly quasi-monotone operators, then we obtain a surjective result for strictly quasi-monotone operator equation.
