The generalised f-projection operator with an application

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a new concept of generalised f-projection operator which extends the generalised projection operator πK : B* → K, where B is a reflexive Banach space with dual space B* and K is a nonempty, closed and convex subset of B. Some properties of the generalised f-projection operator are given. As an application, we study the existence of solution for a class of variational inequalities in Banach spaces.
