Abstract
The aim of the present paper is to give a new kind of point of view in the theory of variational inequalities. Our approach makes possible the study of both scalar and vector variational inequalities under a great variety of assumptions. One can include here the variational inequalities defined on reflexive or nonreflexive Banach spaces, as well as the vector variational inequalities defined on topological vector spaces.
