Abstract
We show that many equilibrium problems fulfill the common laws expressed by a set of conditions and that the equilibrium solution is obtained as a solution to a Variational Inequality. In particular we study the traffic equilibrium problem in the continuum case and we solve the problem to express this problem by means of a Variational Inequality.
