in the paper‎, ‎some new existence theorems of maximal elements for‎ ‎$mathscr{f}_{c,theta}$-mappings and $mathscr{f}_{c,theta}$-majorized mappings are established‎. ‎as applications, ‎some new existence theorems of equilibrium points for‎ ‎one-person games‎, ‎qualitative games and generalized games are obtained‎. ‎our results unify and generalize most known results‎ ‎in recent literature‎.

Let I be a finite or infinite index set, let X be a topological space, and let Yi, φNi i∈I be a family of FC-spaces. For each i ∈ I, letAi : X → 2i be a set-valued mapping. Some new existence theorems of maximal elements for a set-valued mapping and a family of set-valued mappings involving a better admissible set-valuedmapping are established under noncompact setting of FC-spaces. Our results ...

Choice functions on tournaments always select the maximal element (Condorcet winner), provided they exist, but this property does not hold in the more general case of weak tournaments. In this paper we analyze the relationship between the usual choice functions and the set of maximal elements in weak tournaments. We introduce choice functions selecting maximal elements, whenever they exist. Mor...

A weaker than usual continuity property is defined for binary relations. Relations that have this property, along with certain transitivity properties, are shown to have maximal elements on compact sets. The results cover “interval orders,” the kind of relations that often characterize choice situations in which similar alternatives are indistinguishable. Journal of‘ Economic Literature Classif...
