Abstract

We study the new variational inequality problem, called the Common Solutions to Variational Inequalities Problem (CSVIP). This problem consists of finding common solutions to a system of unrelated variational inequalities corresponding to set-valued mappings in Hilbert space. We present an iterative procedure for solving this problem and establish its strong convergence. Relations with other problems of solving systems of variational inequalities, both old and new, are discussed as well.
