Generalized Higher Order Preinvex Functions and Equilibrium-like Problems

Equilibrium problems and variational inequalities are connected to the symmetry concepts, which play important roles in many fields of sciences. Some new preinvex functions, which are called generalized preinvex functions, with the bifunction ζ(.,.) and an arbitrary function k, are introduced and studied. Under the normed spaces, new parallelograms laws are taken as an application of the generalized preinvex functions. The equilibrium-like problems are represented as the minimum values of generalized preinvex functions under the kζ-invex sets. Some new inertial methods are proposed and researched to solve the higher order directional equilibrium-like problem, Convergence criteria of the our methods is discussed, along with some unresolved issues.
