Convexity spaces defined in the paper are generated by families of continuous functions. Without imposing any explicitly stated linear structure on the spaces, Browder’s, Brouwer’s and Kakutani’s fixed point theorems are proved and used for deriving generalized Fan inequalities and two-function minimax theorems. The existence of Nash equilibria in noncooperative games is also established under ...

In the previous paper ([5]), we studied the ordinary multiobjective convex program on a locally convex linear topological space in the case that the objective functions and the constraint functions were continuous and convex, but not always Gateaux differ entiable. In the case, we showed that the generalized Kuhn-Tucker conditions given by a subdifferential formula were necessary and sufficient...

holds, then f is called a generalized convex function on I []. In α = , we have convex function, convexity is defined only in geometrical terms as being the property of a function whose graph bears tangents only under it []. The convexity of functions plays a significant role in many fields, for example, in biological system, economy, optimization, and so on [–]. In recent years, the fract...

S-quasiconvex functions (Phu and An, Optimization, Vol. 38, 1996) are stable with respect to the properties: “every lower level set is convex", “each local minimizer is a global minimizer", and “each stationary point is a global minimizer" (i.e., these properties remain true if a sufficiently small linear disturbance is added to a function of this class). In this paper, we introduce a subclass ...

The aim of the present paper is to extend the classical Hermite-Hadamard inequality to the case when the convexity notion is induced by a Chebyshev system.

Jensen–Steffensen type inequalities for P -convex functions and functions with nondecreasing increments are presented. The obtained results are used to prove a generalization of Čebyšev’s inequality and several variants of Hölder’s inequality with weights satisfying the conditions as in the Jensen–Steffensen inequality. A few well-known inequalities for quasi-arithmetic means are generalized.

It is known that any local maximizer of an explicitly quasiconvex realvalued function is actually a global minimizer, whenever it belongs to the intrinsic core of the function’s domain. We show that a similar property holds for componentwise explicitly quasiconvex vector-valued functions, with respect to the optimality concepts of ideal, strong and weak efficiency. These new results are applied...
