Abstract

We extend the theory of gap functions for scalar variational inequality problems (see [1,8]) to the case of vector variational inequality. The gap functions for vector variational inequality are defined as set-valued mappings. The significance of the gap function is interpreted in terms of the inverse vector variational inequality. Convexity properties of these set-valued mappings are studied under different assumptions.
