Abstract

We introduce and study a new class of generalized nonlinear variational-like inequalities, which includes these variational inequalities and variational-like inequalities due to Bose, Cubiotti, Dien, Ding, Ding and Tarafdar, Noor, Parida, Sahoo, and Kumar, and Yao, and others as special cases. By applying Kirk's fixed-point theorem and Ding-Tan minimax inequality, we establish the existence theorems of solutions for the generalized nonlinear variational-like inequalities in reflexive Banach spaces.
