Abstract

The paper aims at summarizing the main results on Vector Complementarity Problems (VCP), including the existence of a solution and the relations with Vector Variational Inequalities and Vector Optimization Problems. Particular attention will be given to a VCP with a variable domination structure, where the ordering cone depends on the unknown variable.
