We make a comparison among various existence theorems for monotone and nonmonotone variational inequalities and give necessary conditions for the solvability of the variational inequality problem.
Keywords: Brezis-pseudomonotonicity, Karamardian-pseudomonotonicity, Fan-hemicontinuity, hemicontinuity along line segments, coercivity.
