In this paper we introduce two new generalized variational inequalities and we give some existence results of the solutions for these variational inequalities involving operators belonging to a recently introduced class of operators. We show by examples, that our results fail outside of this class. Further, we establish a result that may be viewed as a generalization of Minty’s theorem, that is, we show that under some circumstances the set of solutions of these variational inequalities coincide. We also show, the condition that the operators, involved in these variational inequalities, belong to the above mentioned class, is essential in obtaining this result. As application, we show that Brouwer’s fixed point theorem is an easy consequence of our results.

“Be grateful when solutions exist, because of Brouwer’s Fixed Point Theorem” offers a introduction to a mathematical theorem asserting the existence of solutions to problems in engineering, medicine, economics, and other fields, as long as certain criteria are satisfied. The discussion is illustrated with numerous hand-drawn sketches. While this theorem assures the existence of a solution—a “fixed point”—it does not provide insight on how to find it. Still, it can be reassuring to know that a solution exists. For example, economist John von Newmann used this theorem in his 1937 economic model establishing that there exist prices at which supply equals demand. Mathematics students and enthusiasts are encouraged to be grateful for knowledge that a solution exists in mathematical and life pursuits, even when the solution itself remains elusive. At the chapter’s end, readers may check their understanding by working on a problem. A solution is provided.


The primary goal of the paper is to deliver a simple proof of equivalence between Brouwer’s fixed point theorem and the existence of equilibrium in a simple exchange model with monotonic consumers. To achieve this end, we discuss some equivalent formulations of Brouwer’s theorem and prove additional ones, that are ’approximating’ in character or seem to be better suited for economic applications than the standard results.

We show that Brouwer’s fixed point theorem with isolated fixed points is equivalent to Brouwer’s fan theorem.

Abstract In this paper, we discus the existence of solutions for Riemann- Liouville fractional differential inclusions supplemented with Erdélyi- Kober fractional integral conditions. We apply endpoint theory, Krasnoselskii’s multi-valued fixed point theorem and Wegrzyk's fixed point theorem for generalized contractions. For the illustration of our results, we include examples.

In this paper, we discuss some major applications of Kakutani’s fixed point theorem in game theory. In the course of research work we mostly use the idea of mathematical set, functions, topological properties and Brouwer’s fixed point theorem to make the Kakutani’s fixed point theorem more conspicuous. In the key point of idea, we include how this theory can play the effective role to highlight new fixed point results and their applications in different fields of game theory.
