Some new classes of inverse variational inequalities, which can be viewed as a novel important special case of general variational equalities, are investigated. Projection method, auxiliary principle and dynamical systems coupled with finite difference approach are used to suggest and analyzed a number of new and known numerical techniques for solving inverse variational inequalities. Convergence analysis of these methods is investigated under suitable conditions. One can obtain a number of new classes of inverse variational inequalities by interchanging the role of operators. Some important special cases are highlighted. Several open problems are suggested for future research.
