In this paper, we propose an efficient inertial iterative algorithm for solving a system of generalized quasi-variational inequalities (SGQVI) in Hilbert spaces. Using the projection operator technique, we establish an equivalence between SGQVI and fixed-point problems, thus developing a novel inertial method. The algorithm introduces an inertial term to accelerate convergence, and its performance is rigorously analyzed under some mild conditions, including relaxed co-coercivity and Lipschitz continuity of the involved mappings. Our framework unifies and extends several existing models, such as classical variational inequalities, quasi-variational inequalities, and related optimization problems. Some experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the inertial method, which shows an improvement in convergence speed compared to noninertial methods. Our results generalize and enhance previous research results in the literature, making it more widely applicable in computational mathematics, engineering, and economics.
We study exponentially convex nonlinearities and exponentially monotone operators in Hilbert spaces for exponential variational inequalities (EVIs). We show that the exponential nonlinearity is the gradient of a convex functional, so it is monotone. We use this fact to prove existence, uniqueness, and contractivity of the associated fixed-point mapping for every strong monotonicity constant of the underlying operator. This task is performed using an explicit, computable step-size range and linear convergence rate. We present a two-step inertial predictor–corrector technique and prove its strong convergence. Applying the framework to the Bratu obstacle problem (which models thermal ignition in combustion systems) yields the explicit, sharp requirement for contractivity of the associated fixed-point map and, hence, for existence, uniqueness, and convergence in this application. When this requirement is satisfied, numerical experiments demonstrate a noticeable acceleration of up to from the inertial approach in the contractive regime’s mid-range. Neither the non-contractive regime nor the smallest tested domain length showed any obvious improvement.
This paper introduces and systematically analyzes a novel class of variational inequalities, called exponential variational inequalities (EVIs), which incorporate exponential nonlinearities through exponentially convex functions. We establish existence results using boundary conditions, coercivity assumptions, and monotone operator techniques. Uniqueness is proved under the condition $ \alpha > \mu\, \ell $, relating the strong monotonicity constant $ \alpha $ of the operator, the exponential bound $ \mu $, and the Lipschitz constant $ \ell $ of the derivative. A contraction mapping argument yields both existence and uniqueness, together with a linearly convergent iterative method under explicit step-size conditions. As an application, we study a Bratu-type obstacle boundary value problem, establish its formulation as an exponential variational inequality, and derive explicit small-domain conditions which ensure existence and uniqueness. These results provide a unified framework for analyzing variational inequalities with exponential nonlinearities arising in combustion, population dynamics, and optimal control.
