This work deals with a Browder type theorem, and some of its consequences.We consider hX, Y i a dual pair of real normed spaces, C a weakly closed convex subset of X containing 0X, and L a function from C into Y which is monotone, weakly continuous on the line segments in C, and coercive. In the article ,,Nonlinear monotone operators and convex sets in Banach spaces”, Bull. Amer. Math. Soc., 71 (1965), F. E. Browder proved the existence of solutions for variational inequalities with such an operator L provided that X = E is a reflexive Banach space, and Y = E0 is its dual space. It is the object of this note to remark that a similar result is valid when Y = E is a Banach space (not necessary reflexive) and X = E0 (for example in the case of the Lebesgue spaces E = L1 (T), and E0 = L∞(T)). Moreover we shall show that the Browder’s theorem is a consequence of this result, and we shall also prove a Stampacchia type theorem.
