Abstract
In this paper, we introduce and study vector variational inequality problems (VVIP) on Hadamard manifolds. The concepts of C-pseudomonotone, v-hemicontinuous and v-coercive operators are given. Some existence results for VVIP are obtained with the assumptions of C-pseudomonotonicity and v-hemicontinuity. These new results extend some corresponding known results given in literatures.
