Abstract
The main object of this paper is to present a general mathematical theory applicable to the study of a large class of linear variational inequalities arising in electronics. Our approach uses recession tools so as to define a new class of problems that we call “semi-complementarity problems”. Then we show that the study of semi-complementarity problems can be used to prove new qualitative results applicable to the study of linear variational inequalities of the second kind.
