Abstract

In this paper, an existence theorem for solutions to the generalized Ky Fan Inequality problem is obtained by means of the Kakutani-Fan-Glicksberg fixed-point theorem without imposing the condition that the dual of the ordering cone has a weak* compact base. In addition, the stability of the solution set is shown.
