On Minimax Inequality and Generalized Quasi–Variational Inequality in H-Spaces (Q4254574)

The Sion type minimax theorem is stated, namely: Let \((X,\{\Gamma_{A}\})\) and \((Y,\{ \Gamma_{B}'\})\) be two H-spaces and \(X\) be compact. Suppose that \(f,g : X \times Y \rightarrow {\mathbb R}\) be such that (i) \(f(x,y) \leq g(x,y)\) for all \((x,y)\in X\times Y\), (ii) for each \(x\in X\), \(f(x,\cdot)\) is H-quasiconcave, (iii) \(f(x,y)\) is W-lower semicontinuous in \(x\), (iv) \(g(\cdot,y)\) is H-quasiconvex, (v) \(g(x,y)\) is W-upper semicontinuous in \(y\), then \[ \inf_{x\in X} \sup_{y\in Y} f(x,y) \leq\sup_{y\in Y} \inf_{x\in X} g(x,y). \] Here the H-space is the pair \((X,\{\Gamma_{A}\})\) with \(X\) being a topological space and \(\{\Gamma_A\}\) being a family of nonempty contractive subsets of \(X\) indexed by \(A\) from the given family \({\mathcal F}(X)\) of all nonempty finite subsets of \( X \) in such a way that \(\{\Gamma_{A}\} \subset \{\Gamma_{A}'\}\) whenever \(A \subset {A}'\). On the base of the above theorem two results on solvability of generalized quasi-variational inequalities are obtained.
