Abstract

In this paper, we prove some new ordering principles which generalize the well-known Brézis–Browder principle and uniformly generalize some results in the literature. As an application, we prove some vector Ekeland-type variational principles in F-type topological spaces and some new Mönch-type fixed-point theorems for discontinuous multivalued operators in F-type topological spaces and Banach spaces with weak topology.
