Set-valued equilibrium problems with applications to Browder variational inclusions and to fixed point theory

In this paper, we deal with set-valued equilibrium problems under mild conditions of continuity and convexity on subsets recently introduced in the literature. We obtain that neither semicontinuity nor convexity are needed on the whole domain when solving set-valued and single-valued equilibrium problems. As applications, we derive some existence results for Browder variational inclusions, and we extend the well-known Berge maximum theorem in order to obtain two versions of Kakutani and Schauder fixed point theorems.
