On a global error bound for a class of monotone affine variational inequality problems

We give, for a class of monotone affine variational inequality problems, a simple characterization of when a certain residual function provides a bound on the distance from any feasible point to the solution set. This result has implications on the global linear convergence of a certain projection algorithm and of matrix splitting algorithms using regular splitting.
