In this paper Generalized Complementarity Problems are expressed in terms of suitable optimization problems and some optimality conditions are given. The infinite dimensional Lagrangean and Duality Theories play an important role in order to achieve the main result.

This book discusses a new discipline, variational analysis, which contains the calculus of variations, differential calculus, optimization, and variational inequalities. To such classic branches of mathematics, variational analysis provides a uniform theoretical base that represents a powerful tool for the applications. The contributors are among the best experts in the field.

In this paper we aim to present a model of spatially distributed economic markets under the assumptions that each demand market becomes a supply market after the time △.
