The main result of the paper is a series of theorems, called here Infimum Principles. As applications, we derive some well-known results related to fixed point, minimax, and equilibrium theorems including the Nash equilibrium theorem and Gale-Nikaido theorem. Our study is based on and utilizes the techniques of simplicial structures and CO families. This approach enables us to derive not only classical theorems but also stimulates new research.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
