We introduce and study a new system of nonlinear variational-like inclusions involvings-G, η -maximal monotone operators, strongly monotone operators, η-strongly monotone operators, relaxed monotone operators, cocoercive operators, λ, ξ-relaxed cocoercive operators,ζ, ϕ,
-g-relaxed cocoercive operators and relaxed Lipschitz operators in Hilbert spaces. By using the resolvent operator technique associated withs-G, η-maximal monotone operators and Banach contraction principle, we demonstrate the existence and uniqueness of solution for the system of nonlinear variational-like inclusions. The results presented in the paper improve and extend some known results in the literature.

1. Introduction
It is well known that the resolvent operator technique is an important method for solving various variational inequalities and inclusions1–20. In particular, the generalized resolvent operator technique has been applied more and more and has also been improved intensively. For instance, Fang and Huang5introduced the class ofH-monotone operators and defined the associated resolvent operators, which extended the resolvent operators associated with η-subdifferential operators of Ding and Luo3and maximalη-monotone operators of Huang and Fang 6, respectively. Later, Liu et al. 17 researched a class of general nonlinear implicit variational inequalities including theH-monotone operators. Fang and Huang4
enriched and improved the class of generalized resolvent operators. Lan 10 studied a system of general mixed quasivariational inclusions involvingA, η-accretive mappings in q-uniformly smooth Banach spaces. Lan et al. 14 constructed some iterative algorithms for solving a class of nonlinear A, η-monotone operator inclusion systems involving nonmonotone set-valued mappings in Hilbert spaces. Lan9investigated the existence of solutions for a class ofA, η-accretive variational inclusion problems with nonaccretive set-valued mappings. Lan 11 analyzed and established an existence theorem for nonlinear parametric multivalued variational inclusion systems involving A, η-accretive mappings in Banach spaces. By using the random resolvent operator technique associated withA, η -accretive mappings, Lan 13 established an existence result for nonlinear random multi-valued variational inclusion systems involvingA, η-accretive mappings in Banach spaces. Lan and Verma15studied a class of nonlinear Fuzzy variational inclusion systems with A, η-accretive mappings in Banach spaces. On the other hand, some interesting and classical techniques such as the Banach contraction principle and Nalder’s fixed point theorems have been considered by many researchers in studying variational inclusions.
Inspired and motivated by the above achievements, we introduce a new system of nonlinear variational-like inclusions involving s-G, η-maximal monotone operators in Hilbert spaces and a class ofζ, ϕ, -g-relaxed cocoercive operators. By virtue of the Banach’s fixed point theorem and the resolvent operator technique, we prove the existence and uniqueness of solution for the system of nonlinear variational-like inclusions. The results presented in the paper generalize some known results in the field.

Fori ∈ {1,2}andj ∈ {1,2} \ {i}, assume thatAi, Ci : Hi → Hj, Bi : Hj → Hi, ηi :
Hi×Hi → Hi, Ni :Hj×Hi×Hj → Hi, fi, gi :Hi → Hiare single-valued mappings,Mi :

consider the following problem of findingx, y∈H1×H2such that

wherefi−gix fix−gixforx ∈ Hi andi ∈ {1,2}. The problem2.13is called the
system of nonlinear variational-like inclusions problem. Special cases of the problem2.13are as follows.
IfA1 B1B2 C2 f1−g1 f2−g2 I,N1x, y, z N1x, y x,N2u, v, w N2v, w w,M1x, y M1y,M2u, v M2vfor eachx, z, v∈H2, y, u, w∈H1, then the problem2.13collapses to findingx, y∈H1×H2such that

0∈NAx, Bx Mx,f−gx, 2.15
which was studied in Shim et al.19.
It is easy to see that the problem 2.13 includes a number of variational and variational-like inclusions as special cases for appropriate and suitable choice of the mappingsNi, Ai, Bi, Ci, Mi, fi, gifori∈ {1,2}.
3. Existence and Uniqueness Theorems
In this section, we will prove the existence and uniqueness of solution of the problem2.13.
Lemma 3.1. Letρ1 and ρ2 be two positive constants. Thenx, y ∈ H1 ×H2 is a solution of the
problem2.13if and only ifx, y∈H1×H2satisfies that

Theorem 3.2. Fori ∈ {1,2}, j ∈ {1,2} \ {i},let ηi : Hi×Hi → Hi be Lipschitz continuous
with constantσi,Ai, Ci : Hi → Hj, Bi : Hj → Hi, fi, gi : Hi → Hi be Lipschitz continuous

For eachu1, v1,u2, v2∈H1×H2,it follows fromLemma 2.6that

Becausef1−g1isδf1,g1-strongly monotone,f1, g1andG1are Lipschitz continuous, andG1f1−

SinceA1, B1, C1are all Lipschitz continuous,N1isλ1, ξ1-relaxed cocoercive with respect to A1,τ1-relaxed Lipschitz with respect toC1, and is Lipschitz continuous in the first, second and third arguments, respectively, we infer that

Define · ∗onH1×H2 byu, v∗ u1v1 for anyu, v∈H1×H2.It is easy to see thatH1×H2, · ∗is a Banach space. DefineLρ1,ρ2:H1×H2 → H1×H2by
Lρ1,ρ2u, v
Fρ1u, v, Fρ2u, v

By virtue of3.3,3.4,3.13and3.14, we achieve that 0< k <1 and
Lρ

which means thatLρ1,ρ2 :H1×H2 → H1×H2is a contractive mapping. Hence, there exists a
uniquex, y∈H1×H2such thatLρ1,ρ2x, y x, y.That is,

ByLemma 3.1, we derive thatx, yis a unique solution of the problem2.13. This completes the proof.
