The KKM principle in abstract convex spaces: equivalent formulations and applications (Q984072)

This paper is a valuable contribution to KKM theory. Precisely, the author shows that a sequence of a dozen statements characterize the KKM spaces and are equivalent formulations of the partial KKM principle. As applications, the author adds more than a dozen statements including generalized formulations of the von Neumann minimax theorem, the von Neumann intersection lemma, the Nash equilibrium theorem, and the Fan type minimax inequalities for any KKM spaces. Consequently, this paper unifies and enlarges previously known several proper examples of such statements for particular types of KKM spaces.
