Abstract

This paper studies the variational inequality problem over a fuzzy domain and variational inequalities for fuzzy mappings over a fuzzy domain. It is shown that such problems can be reduced to bilevel programming problems. A penalty function algorithm is introduced with a convergence proof. Numerical examples are also included to illustrate the solution procedure.
