Abstract
An interesting observation is that most pairs of weakly homogeneous mappings do not possess strongly monotonic property, which is one of the key conditions to ensure the unique solvability of the generalized variational inequality. This paper focuses on studying the uniqueness and solvability of the generalized variational inequality with a pair of weakly homogeneous mappings. By using a weaker condition than the strong monotonicity and some additional conditions, we achieve several results on the unique solvability to the underlying problem, which are exported by making use of the exceptional family of elements. As an adjunct, we also obtain the nonemptiness and compactness of the solution sets to the weakly homogeneous generalized variational inequality under some appropriate conditions. The conclusions presented in this paper are new or supplements to the existing ones even when the problem comes down to its important subclasses studied in recent years.
