Abstract
We enrich the theory of variational inequalities in the case of an aggregative structure by implementing recent results obtained by using the Selten–Szidarovszky technique. We derive existence, semi-uniqueness and uniqueness results for solutions and provide a computational method. As an application we derive very powerful practical equilibrium results for Nash equilibria of sum-aggregative games and illustrate with Cournot oligopolies.
