Abstract
In this paper, we introduce and study an extended vector Ky Fan inequality in a Hausdorff topological vector space. We prove some existence results for extended vector Ky Fan inequality by using KKM theorem and other concepts. The problem of this paper is more general than many existing minimax inequalities, equilibrium problems and vector variational inequalities available in literature. We construct some examples in support of our results.
