Set Valued Equilibrium Problems Without Linear Structure

Abstract

In this paper we give several existence results for solutions of equilibrium problems in topological spaces without linear structure. To this end we introduce a new concept of convexity for maps and multivalued maps in spaces without linear structure. The discussion on convexity is enriched with some example useful to compare the new conditions with the existing one in literature. Finally, we apply the existence results obtained to a Nash equilibrium problem and to a maximization of a binary relation.
