The Variational Inequality Approach for Solving Spatial Auction Problems with Joint Constraints

Igor Konnov(ikonnovksu.ru)

Abstract: We consider a problem of managing a system of spatially distributed markets under capacity and balance constraints and show that solutions of a variational inequality enjoy auction principle properties implicitly. This enables us to develop efficient tools both for derivation of existence and uniqueness results and for creation of solution methods.

Keywords: Spatial market problem, capacity constraints, variational inequality, auction principle.
