Abstract

We study a variational inequality problem VI(X,F) with X being defined by infinitely many inequality constraints and F being a pseudomonotone function. It is shown that such problem can be reduced to a problem of finding a feasible point in a convex set defined by infinitely many constraints. An analytic center based cutting plane algorithm is proposed for solving the reduced problem. Under proper assumptions, the proposed algorithm finds an ε-optimal solution in O*(n2/ρ2) iterations, where O*(·) represents the leading order, n is the dimension of X, ϵ is a user-specified tolerance, and ρ is the radius of a ball contained in the ϵ-solution set of VI(X,F).
