Intersection theorems and their applications in general almost convex spaces (Q414513)

The concept of almost convex set is extended in this paper as follows: If \(K\) and \(Y\) are two nonempty subsets of a topological vector space \(E\), \(Y\) is said to be relatively almost convex for \(K\) if for any neighborhood \(V\) of \(0\) in \(E\) and for any finite set \(\{w_1, \dots, w_n\} \subseteq K\), there exist \(z_1,\dots,z_n\in Y\) such that \(z_i - w_i \in V\) for all indices \(i\), and \(\text{co} \{z_1,\dots,z_n\} \subseteq Y\). The main result of the paper is the following intersection theorem:NEWLINENEWLINELet \(D\) be a dense subset of a compact set \(Z\) in a Hausdorff topological vector space and \(Y, K\) be two subsets of a locally convex Hausdorff topological vector space such that \(Y\) is relatively almost convex for \(K\). Suppose that \(H: Y\cup K \rightarrow 2^Z\) and \(T: Z\rightarrow 2^K\) are upper semicontinuous correspondences with closed values such that: (i) \(H(x)\) is nonempty convex for all \(x\in Y\); (ii) \(T(x)\) is nonempty convex for each \(x\in D\). Then the graphs of \(T^{-1}\) and \(H\) have a common point.NEWLINENEWLINEBy the above result are obtained two generalizations of the Himmelberg fixed point theorem, which in turn are used to obtain a maximal element theorem and equilibrium theorems for \(\mathcal{U}\)-majorized correspondences in generalized games.
