Abstract:
A set-valued map defined on a compact lipschitzian retract of a normed space with nontrivial Euler characteristic and satisfying
(i) a strong graph approximation property and (ii) a tangency condition expressed in terms of Clarke’s tangent cone, admits
an equilibrium. This result extends in a simple way known solvability theorems to a large class of nonconvex set-valued maps
defined on nonsmooth domains.
