Well-posedness for Optimization Problems with Constraints defined by Variational Inequalities having a unique solution

We introduce various notions of well-posedness for a family of variational inequalities and for an optimization problem with constraints defined by variational inequalities having a unique solution. Then, we give sufficient conditions for well-posedness of these problems and we present an application to an exact penalty method.
