The purpose of this paper is to introduce the concept of fuzzy variational-like inequalities and to study the existence problem and the iterative approximation problem for solutions of certain kinds of fuzzy variational-like inequalities in Hilbert spaces. By using the general auxiliary principle technique, Ky Fan’s KKM theorem, Nadler’s fixed point theorem, and some new analytic techniques, so...

We consider the weakly efficient solution for a class of nonconvex and nonsmooth vector optimization problems in Banach spaces. We show the equivalence between the nonconvex and nonsmooth vector optimization problem and the vector variational-like inequality involving set-valued mappings. We prove some existence results concerned with the weakly efficient solution for the nonconvex and nonsmoot...

A cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the risk factors of job-related depression in laboratory technicians in Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (HUSM) and Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia (KKM) Hospitals in Kelantan, between September 2001 and February 2002. One hundred and two laboratory technicians from HUSM and 79 from KKM Hospitals were selected and 84 (82.4%) from HUSM and 71 (...

This paper provides a complete solution to the problem of minimax inequality for an arbitrary topological space that may be discrete, continuum, non-compact or non-convex. We establish a single condition, γ-recursive transfer lower semicontinuity, which is necessary and sufficient for the existence of equilibrium of minimax inequality without imposing any kind of convexity nor any restriction o...

In this work, we study the following Generalized Variational Inequality Problem (for short, GVIP): Given a closed convex set K in a reflexive Banach space E with the dual E, a multifunction T : K → 2E∗ , and a vector b ∈ E, find x̄ ∈ K such that there exists ū ∈ T(x̄) satisfying 〈ū− b, y− x̄〉 ≥ 0, for all y ∈ K. By using generalized projection and the well-known Fan–KKM Theorem, we prove existence...

This paper provides necessary and sufficient conditions for fixed-point theorems, minimax inequalities and some related theorems defined on arbitrary topological spaces that may be discrete, continuum, non-compact or non-convex. We establish a single condition, γ-recursive transfer lower semicontinuity, which fully characterizes the existence of equilibrium of minimax inequality without imposin...

We introduce the new generalized mixed equilibrium problem with respect to relaxed semimonotone mappings. Using the KKM technique, we obtain the existence of solutions for the generalizedmixed equilibriumproblem in Banach spaces. Furthermore, we also introduce a hybrid projection algorithm for finding a common element in the solution set of a generalized mixed equilibrium problem and the fixed ...

In this paper, we introduce two classes of generalized variational-like inequalities with compositely monotone multifunctions in Banach spaces. Using the KKM-Fan lemma and the Nadler’s result, we prove the existence of solutions for generalized variational-like inequalities with compositely relaxed η − α monotone multifunctions in reflexive Banach spaces. On the other hand we also derive the so...
