“…The VIP is also known to have numerous applications in diverse fields such as, physics, engineering, economics, mathematical programming, among others. It can be considered as a central problem in optimization and nonlinear analysis since the theory of variational inequalities provides a simple, natural and unified frame work for a general treatment of many important mathematical problems such as, minimization problems, network equilibrium problems, complementary problems, systems of nonlinear equations and others (see [3,4,15,17,19,23,27,35,36,37,38,40,45,46,52] and the references therein). Thus, the theory has become an area of great research interest to numerous researchers.…”
