Solution maps of polynomial variational inequalities

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate several properties of the solution maps of variational inequalities with polynomial data. First, we prove some facts on the $R_0$-property, the local boundedness, and the upper semicontinuity of the solution maps. Second, we establish results on the solution existence and the local upper-Hölder stability under the copositivity condition. Third, when the constraint set is semi-algebraic, we discuss the genericity of the $R_0$-property and the finite-valuedness of the solution maps.
