In this paper, we introduce and study a triple hierarchical variational inequality (THVI) with constraints of minimization and equilibrium problems. More precisely, let Fix ( T ) be the fixed point set of a nonexpansive mapping, let Fix ( T ) be the solution set of a mixed equilibrium problem (MEP), and let <i></i> be the solution set of a minimization problem (MP) for a convex and continuously Frechet differential functional in Hilbert spaces. We want to find a solution Fix ( T ) of a variational inequality with a variational inequality constraint over the intersection of Fix ( T ) , Fix ( T ) , and <i></i>. We propose a hybrid iterative algorithm with regularization to compute approximate solutions of the THVI, and we present the convergence analysis of the proposed iterative algorithm.

In this paper, we construct several kinds of new time-periodic solutions of the vacuum Einsteins field equations whose Riemann curvature tensors vanish, keep finite or take the infinity at some points in these space-times, respectively. The singularities of these new time-periodic solutions are investigated and some new physical phenomena are discovered.

We study the rigidity of polyhedral surfaces and the moduli space of polyhedral surfaces using variational principles. Curvature-like quantities for polyhedral surfaces are introduced and are shown to determine the polyhedral metric up to isometry. The action functionals in the variational approaches are derived from the cosine law. They can be considered as 2-dimensional counterparts of the Schlaefli formula.

A family of coordinates h for the Teichmller space of a compact surface with boundary was introduced by the second author. Mondello showed that the coordinate 0 can be used to produce a natural cell decomposition of the Teichmller space, invariant under the action of the mapping class group. In this paper, we show that, for any h 0, the coordinate h produces a natural cell decomposition of the Teichmller space.
