Essential Stability of Solutions for Maximal Element Theorem with Applications

In this paper, we prove that most of problems in maximal element theorem (in the sense of Baire category) are essential and that, for any problem in maximal element theorem, there exists at least one essential component of its solution set. As applications, we deduce the existence of essential components of the set of Ky Fan’s points based on Ky Fan Minimax Inequality, the existence of essential components of the set of Nash equilibrium points for general n-person non-cooperative games and the existence of essential components of the set of solutions of vector Ky Fan Minimax Inequality.

In this paper, we prove that “most of” problems in Ky Fan's section theorem (in the sense of Baire category) are essential and that for any problem in Ky Fan's section theorem, there exists at least one essential component of its solution set. As applications, we deduce both the existence of essential components of the set of Ky Fan's points based on Ky Fan's minimax inequality theorem and the existence of essential components of the set of Nash equilibrium points for general n-person non-cooperative games with non-concave payoffs.

The Study of the System of Generalized Vector Quasi-equilibrium Problems

In this paper, we study the system of generalized vector quasi-equilibrium problems, which includes as special cases the system of vector quasi-equilibrium problems and the system of generalized vector equilibrium problems, and establish the existence and essential components of the solution set under perturbations of its best-reply map. Moreover, we also derive a new existence theorem of Ky Fan’s points for a set-valued map.

We obtain a new version of the minimax inequality of Ky Fan. As an application, an existence result for the generalized variational inequality problem with set-valued mappings defined on noncompact sets in Hausdorff topological vector spaces is given. Also, some existence results for the generalized variational inequality problem for quasimonotone and pseudomonotone mappings are obtained. Dedicated to the memory of T. Rapcsák.

The Essential Component of the Solution Set for Vector Equilibrium Problems

In the paper, by using Ky Fan’s section theorem, we obtain an existence theorem for vector equilibrium problems.

Existence and stability of solutions for maximal element theorem on Hadamard manifolds with applications

In this paper, maximal element theorem on Hadamard manifolds is established. First, we prove the existence of solutions for maximal element theorem on Hadamard manifolds. Further, we prove that most of problems in maximal element theorem on Hadamard manifolds (in the sense of Baire category) are essential and that, for any problem in maximal element theorem on Hadamard manifolds, there exists at least one essential component of its solution set.

Parametric Borwein-Preiss variational principle and applications

A parametric version of the Borwein-Preiss smooth variational principle is presented, which states that under suitable assumptions on a given convex function depending on a parameter, the minimum point of a smooth convex perturbation of it depends continuously on the parameter. Some applications are given: existence of a Nash equilibrium and a solution of a variational inequality for a system of partially convex functions, perturbed by arbitrarily small smooth convex perturbations when one of the functions has a non-compact domain; a parametric version of the Kuhn-Tucker theorem which contains a parametric smooth variational principle with constraints; existence of a continuous selection of a subdifferential mapping depending on a parameter.

The tool for proving this parametric smooth variational principle is a useful lemma about continuous -minimizers of quasi-convex functions depending on a parameter, which has independent interest since it allows direct proofs of Ky Fan's minimax inequality, minimax equalities for quasi-convex functions, Sion's minimax theorem, etc.

A constructive proof of Ky Fan’s coincidence theorem

We present a constructive proof for the well-known Ky Fan’s coincidence theorem through a simplicial algorithm. In a finite number of steps the algorithm generates a simplex containing an approximate coincidence point. In the limit, when the mesh size converges to zero, the sequence of approximations converges to a coincidence point. This research was carried out while the second author was visiting the CentER for Economic Research, Tilburg University. He would like to thank both CentER and the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO) for their financial support.     

Existence of vector mixed variational inequalities in Banach spaces

The purpose of this paper is to study the solvability for vector mixed variational inequalities (for short, VMVI) in Banach spaces. Utilizing Ky Fan’s Lemma and Nadler’s theorem, we derive the solvability for VMVIs with compositely monotone vector multifunctions. On the other hand, we first introduce the concepts of compositely complete semicontinuity and compositely strong semicontinuity for vector multifunctions. Then we prove the solvability for VMVIs without monotonicity assumption by using these concepts and by applying Brouwer’s fixed point theorem. The results presented in this paper are extensions and improvements of some earlier and recent results in the literature.

Generalized bi-quasi-variational inequalities for quasi-pseudo-monotone type I operators on compact sets

In this paper, the authors prove some existence results of solutions for a new class of generalized bi-quasi-variational inequalities (GBQVI) for quasi-pseudo-monotone type I operators defined on compact sets in locally convex Hausdorff topological vector spaces. In obtaining these results on GBQVI for quasi-pseudo-monotone type I operators, we shall use Chowdhury and Tan’s generalized version [3] of Ky Fan’s minimax inequality [7] as the main tool.

On extremum properties of orthogonal quotients matrices

In this paper we explore the extremum properties of orthogonal quotients matrices. The orthogonal quotients equality that we prove expresses the Frobenius norm of a difference between two matrices as a difference between the norms of two matrices. This turns the Eckart-Young minimum norm problem into an equivalent maximum norm problem. The symmetric version of this equality involves traces of matrices, and adds new insight into Ky Fan’s extremum problems. A comparison of the two cases reveals a remarkable similarity between the Eckart-Young theorem and Ky Fan’s maximum principle. Returning to orthogonal quotients matrices we derive “rectangular” extensions of Ky Fan’s extremum principles, which consider maximizing (or minimizing) sums of powers of singular values.     

A rational generalization of Fan’s method and its application to generalized shallow water wave equations

In this paper we employ a rational expansion to generalize Fan’s method for exact travelling wave solutions for nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs). To verify the reliability of the proposed method, the generalized shallow water wave (GSWW) equation has been investigated as an example. Kinds of new exact travelling wave solutions of a rational form have been obtained. This indicates that the proposed method provides a more general result for exact solution of nonlinear equations.
