Abstract

We consider rather broad classes of general economic equilibrium problems and oligopolistic equilibrium problems which can be formulated as mixed variational inequality problems. Such problems involve a continuous mapping and a convex, but not necessarily differentiable function. We present existence and uniqueness results of solutions under weakened P-type assumptions on the cost mapping. They enable us to establish new results for the economic equilibrium problems under consideration.
