$title Simple Nonlinear Variational Inequality (SIMPLEVI2,SEQ=47) $onText This model shows how to solve a simple nonlinear VI using EMP VI is to find x in X: F(x) (y - x) >= 0, for all y in X X is a closed convex set, e.g. X = { x >= 0 | g(x) >= 0 } Since the variational inequality is integrable w.r.t y this model can also be expressed as NLP as done in the model 'nlpmod'.
