Abstract

‎In this paper‎, ‎we study the Hölder continuity of solution mapping to a parametric variational inequality‎. ‎At first‎, ‎recalling a real-valued gap function of the problem‎, ‎we discuss the Lipschitz continuity of the gap function‎. ‎Then under the strong monotonicity‎, ‎we establish the Hölder continuity of the single-valued solution mapping for the problem‎. ‎Finally‎, ‎we apply these results to a traffic network equilibrium problem.
