Abstract
In this paper, some new generalized R-KKM type theorems for generalized R-KKM mappings with finitely closed values and with finitely open values are established in noncompact topological spaces without any convexity structure under much weaker assumptions. As applications, some new minimax inequalities, saddle point theorem and equilibrium existence theorem for equilibrium problems with lower and upper bounds are established in general noncompact topological spaces. These theorems unify and generalize many known results in the literature.
