New generalizations of basic theorems in the KKM theory (Q531693)

Some new KKM type theorems are stated for intersectionally closed-valued KKM maps. Section 2 deals with some history of the basic theorems and their pioneering applications due to Fan, Browder and others; Section 3 introduces the basic concepts of abstract spaces and KKM spaces. Section 4 deals with general KKM type theorems on abstract convex spaces satisfying a partial KKM principle for KKM maps having intersectionally closed values. In Section 5, the Fan type whole intersection theorem, the Fan-Browder type fixed point theorems, and maximal element theorems for abstract convex spaces having a partial KKM principle are deduced. Finally, Section 6 deals with a Fan type matching theorem, the Fan minimax inequality, and some variational inequalities on abstract convex spaces.
