In 1929, the KKMmap was introduced by Knaster et al. [13] and it provides the foundation for many well-known existence results, such as Ky Fan’s minimax inequality theorem, Ky Fan-Browder’s fixed point theorem, Nash’s equilibrium theorem, HartmanStampacchia’s variational inequality theorem and many others (see [1, 2, 5–12, 14–17]). The central idea of applying KKM theory to prove that a family ...

In this paper, we establish some existence results for strong vector equilibrium problems (for short, SVEP) in topological vector spaces. The solvability of the SVEP is presented using the The second author was in part supported by a grant from IPM (No. 85470015) 220 A.P. Farajzadeh et. al. CUBO 12, 1 (2010) Fan-KKM lemma. These results give a positive answer to an open problem proposed by Chen...

In 1929, Knaster et al. 1 had proved the well-known KKM theorem on n-simplex. Besides, in 1961, Fan 2 had generalized the KKM theorem to an infinite dimensional topological vector space. Later, Amini et al. 3 had introduced the class of KKM-typemappings onmetric spaces and established some fixed point theorems for this class. In this paper, we define a weaker Meir-Keeler type function and estab...

In this paper, we introduce and study a generalized class of vector implicit quasi complementarity problem and the corresponding vector implicit quasi variational inequality problem. By using Fan-KKM theorem, we derive existence of solutions of generalized vector implicit quasi variational inequalities without any monotonicity assumption and establish the equivalence between those problems in B...

Topological semilattices with path-connected intervals are special abstract convex spaces. In this paper, we obtain generalized KKM type theorems and their analytic formulations, maximal element theorems and collectively fixed point theorems on abstract convex spaces. We also apply them to topological semilattices with path-connected intervals, and obtain generalized forms of the results of Hor...

We extend the concept of relaxed α-monotonicity to mixed relaxed α-β-monotonicity. The concept of mixed relaxed α-β-monotonicity is more general than many existing concepts of monotonicities. Finally, we apply this concept and well known KKM-theory to obtain the solution of generalized equilibrium problem.

It is known (see [5, 6]) that when K is a closed convex cone, problems NCP( f ,K) and VI( f ,K) are equivalent. To study the existence of solutions of the NCP( f ,K) and VI( f ,K) problems, many authors have used the techniques of KKM mappings, and the Fan-KKM theorem from fixed point theory (see [1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]). In case B is a Hilbert space, Isac and other authors have used the notion ...
