Abstract

In this paper, we show that the general variational inequality problem is equivalent to solving the Wiener-Hopf equations. We use this equivalence to suggest and analyze a number of iterative algorithms for solving general variational inequalities. We also discuss the convergence criteria for these algorithms.
