Multivalued fi�xed point theorems without strong compactness via a generalization of midpoint convexity (original) (raw)

Abstract

We investigate a generalization of midpoint convexity for multivalued maps, and derive fixed points theorems under this more general assumption without requiring any strong compactness condition. As an application we prove the existence of social equilibria for games with n players.
