Abstract

The aim of this paper is twofold. We first present generic properties of semi-algebraic variational inequalities: “typical” semi-algebraic variational inequalities have finitely many solutions, around each of which they admit a unique “active manifold” and such solutions are nondegenerate. Second, based on these results, we offer Hölder stability, upper semi-continuity, and lower semi-continuity properties of the solution map of parameterized variational inequalities.
