Introduction Some contributions on VI, IDD and OMEP Motivation Problem An oligopolistic market equilibrium problem is the problem of finding a trade equilibrium in a supply-demand market between a finite number of spatially separated firms.

Introduction Some contributions on VI, IDD and OMEP Motivation Problem An oligopolistic market equilibrium problem is the problem of finding a trade equilibrium in a supply-demand market between a finite number of spatially separated firms. Motivation The reason for which dynamic oligopolistic market problem and evolutionary variational inequality which expresses dynamic equilibrium condition are studied is that necessary to consider the dynamics of network adjustment process in which a lag response is operating.
