A new class of generalized Nash-population games via variational inequalities and fixed points

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new class of generalized Nash-population games (GNPGs) which can be used to capture the desired features of both population games (PGs) and generalized Nash games within the same framework. We introduce the concept of generalized inertial Nash equilibrium (GINE) for the GNPG and show the existence of GINE by using the method of the system of variational inequalities and fixed point theorems both in the compact and noncompact cases. Moreover, we introduce a slightly altruistic generalized inertial Nash equilibrium (SAGINE) as a refinement concept of the GINE and prove that the GNPG has at least an SAGINE under some mild assumptions.
