Abstract

Fixed-point theorems for multi-valued mappings and economic equilibrium existence theorems are generalized from the viewpoint that the continuity and/or convexity assumptions on a mapping may be replaced by weaker local conditions on the vector field defined by the mapping. The generalization gives us natural conditions on individual (possibly non-ordered) preferences or aggregated demand behaviours so that we may obtain several extensions of recent results in social and game-theoretic equilibrium theories.
