Abstract

In this paper, we consider a class of stochastic variational inequality problems (SVIPs). Different from the classical variational inequality problems, the SVIP contains a mathematical expectation, which may not be evaluated in an explicit form in general. We combine a hybrid Newton method for deterministic cases with an unconstrained optimization reformulation based on the well-known D-gap function and sample average approximation (SAA) techniques to present an SAA-based hybrid Newton method for solving the SVIP. We show that the level sets of the approximation D-gap function are bounded. Furthermore, we prove that the sequence generated by the hybrid Newton method converges to a solution of the SVIP under appropriate conditions, and some numerical experiments are presented to prove the effectiveness and competitiveness of the hybrid Newton method. Finally, we apply this method to solve two specific traffic equilibrium problems.
