Abstract

The super efficiency of a vector variational inequality is considered in this paper. We show that for both the single and multiple criteria cases, a network equilibrium model can be recast as super efficient solutions to a kind of variational inequality. For the network equilibrium model with a vector-valued cost function, we derive the necessary and sufficient condition in terms of the super efficiency of a vector variational inequality by using the Gerstewitz’s function without any convex assumptions.
