Ekeland variational principle for generalized vector equilibrium problems with equivalences and applications (Q362753): Difference between revisions

Let \(D\) be a closed convex cone with nonempty interior in a Hausdorff topological vector space \(Y\), \(X\) a Hausdorff topological space, and \(f:X\times X\to 2^Y\) a set-valued mapping with nonempty values. Corresponding to these data, one considers the following generalized vector equilibrium problems: (GVPE1) ((GPVE2))\; Find \(\bar x\in X\) such that \(f(\bar x,y)\cap(-D)\neq \emptyset\) (resp., \(f(\bar x,y)\cap(-\)int\(D)\neq \emptyset\)), for all \(y\in Y.\) Considering that \((X,d)\) is a quasi-metric space (i.e., it is possible that \(d(x,x')\neq d(x',x),\) for some \(x,x'\in X\)) with Hausdorff topology satisfying a completeness condition (right \(K\)-\(\bar d\)-complete in the terminology of quasi-metric spaces, see, e.g., [\textit{S. Cobzaş}, Functional analysis in asymmetric normed spaces. Frontiers in Mathematics. Basel: Birkhäuser (2013; Zbl 1266.46001)]), and equipped with a \(W\)-distance in the sense of \textit{O. Kada, T. Suzuki} and \textit{W. Takahashi} [Math. Jap. 44, No. 2, 381--391 (1996; Zbl 0897.54029)], one proves Ekeland-type set-valued vector variational principles equivalents to these equilibrium problems. Several important cases, as well as the equivalence of these principles to some fixed point theorems of Caristi type for set-valued mappings, are discussed.
