Generalizations of the FKKM theorem and the Ky Fan minimax inequality, with applications to maximal elements, price equilibrium, and complementarity (Q1206929): Difference between revisions

The paper presents a generalization of the FKKM theorem of Fan by introducing generalized closedness and continuity conditions. Then, this theorem is used to extend the Ky Fan minimax inequality by relaxing compactness, convexity and lower semicontinuity assumptions. Finally, some applications of these results to existence theorems in economics and optimization theory are given.
