Abstract
In this paper, we present some new results on the existence of solutions of generalized variational inequalities for set-valued mappings in reflexive Banach spaces with Fréchet differentiable norms. Moreover, the structure of the solution sets is investigated. The result obtained in this paper improves and extends the ones announced by Fang and Peterson [S. C. Fang and E. L. Peterson, Generalized Variational Inequalities, J. Optim. Theory Appl., 38 (1982), 363-383] and others.
