We apply the KKM technique to study generalized vector implicit variational inequality problem. Our results generalize the works of Huang and Li [8], Li and Huang [11], and represent variant of result of Lee and Farajzadeh [10]. We also obtain a version of best approximations theorem in cone metric spaces.

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 ...

Using the KKM technique, we establish some existence results for variationalhemivariational inequalities involving monotone set valued mappings on bounded, closed and convex subsets in reflexive Banach spaces. We also derive several sufficient conditions for the existence of solutions in the case of unbounded subsets.

In the present paper, we extend known KKM theorems and matching theorems for generalized KKM maps to G-convex spaces. From these results, we deduce generalized versions of main results of Kassay and Kolumbán [KK] and some others.

The partial KKM principle for an abstract convex space is an abstract form of the classical KKM theorem. In this paper, we derive generalized forms of the Ky Fan minimax inequality, the von Neumann-Sion minimax theorem, the von Neumann-Fan intersection theorem, the Fan-type analytic alternative, and the Nash equilibrium theorem for abstract convex spaces satisfying the partial KKM principle. Th...

Karasek's job strain model postulates that workers chronically exposed to adverse psychosocial work environment (high strain job)--high psychological job demands and low job control, including poor social support, increased physical demand and hazardous work condition--will eventually develop both physical illnesses such as cardiovascular diseases and psychological disorders such as depression....

A new generalized nonlinear variational-like inequality is introduced and studied. By applying the auxiliary principle technique and KKM theory, we construct a new iterative algorithm for solving the generalized nonlinear variational-like inequality. By means of the Banach fixed-point theorem, we establish the existence and uniqueness of solution for the generalized nonlinear variational-like i...

In this paper, we present some fixed point theorems for generalized condensing multimaps on KKM uniform spaces. We also obtain some new fixed point results for generalized condensing multimaps in KC class (or KKM class) in the setting of abstract convex uniform spaces.

In our research, we noticed that there are quite a few generalizations and a...

For convex subsets X of a topological vector space E, we show that a KKM principle implies a Fan-Browder type fixed point theorem and that this theorem implies generalized forms of the Sion minimax theorem. The von Neumann-Sion minimax theorem is fundamental in convex analysis and in game theory. von Neumann [8] proved his theorem for simplexes by reducing the problem to the 1-dimensional cases...
