We establish a new equilibrium existence theorem of generalized abstract economies with general preference correspondences. As an application, we derive an existence theorem of generalized quasi-variational inequalities in the general setting of l.c.-spaces without any linear structure. 1. Introduction and Preliminary Let I be any (finite or infinite) set of agents. A generalized abstract economy is defined as a family of order quintuples Ω =(X α,a α,b α,f α,p α ) α I with X:= α I X α such that for each α I, X α is a topological space, A α,b α :X 2 X α are constraint correspondences, F α : X 2 X α is a fuzzy constraint correspondence, and P α :X X 2 X α is a preference correspondence. In a real market, any preference of a real agent would be unstable by the fuzziness of consumers behavior or market situations. Thus, it is reasonable to introduce fuzzy constraint correspondences in defining an abstract economy. An equilibrium point of Ω is a point ( x, y) X X such that for each α I, x α cl B α ( x), y α F α ( x),anda α ( x) P α ( x, y) = 0,where x α and y α denote the projections of x and y from X to X α,respectively. In case F α (x) = X α for each x Xand P α is independent of the second variable, that is, P α :X 2 X α,theabovegeneralized abstract economy reduces to the standard abstract economy Ω s := (X α,a α,b α,p α ) α I, in which an equilibrium point of Ω s is a point x Xsuch that for each α I, x α cl B α ( x) and A α ( x) P α ( x) = 0.WhenA α =B α and each X α is a topological vector space, the standard abstract economy Ω s coincides with the classical definition of Shafer and Sonnenschein [1]. For more details on abstract economies, see, for example, [2 14] and the references therein. Throughout this paper, all topological spaces are assumed to be Hausdorff. In order to establish our main results, we first give some basic notations. For a nonempty set C of a topological space X,wedenotethesetofallsubsetsofC by 2 C, the set of all nonempty finite subsets of C by X,theinterior of C by int C,andtheclosureofC by cl C. Let Γ D } be a family of some nonempty contractible subsets of a topological space X indexed by D X such that Γ D Γ D whenever D D.Thepair(X, Γ D }) is called an H-space.GivenanH-space (X, Γ D }), a nonempty subset C of X is said to be H-convex if Γ D Cfor all D C. For a nonempty subset C of X, we define the H-convex hull of C as H-coC := K Kis H-convex in X and C K}. (1) It is known that if x H-coC, then there exists a finit subset D of C such that x H-coD.Moreover,foranyD X, H-coD is called a polytope. WewillsaythatX is an H-space with precompact polytopes if any polytope of X is precompact. For example, a locally convex topological vector space X is an H-space with precompact polytopes, by setting Γ D = co D for all D X. An H-space (X, Γ D }) is called an l.c.-space if X is a uniform space whose topology is induced by its uniformity U, and there is a base B consisting of symmetric entourages in U such that for each V B,thesetV(E) := y X (x, y) V for some x E} is H-convex whenever E is H-convex. We will use the notation (X, U, B) to stand for an l.c.-space. For details of uniform spaces, we refer to [15]. In a recent

2 Abstract and Applied Analysis paper [16], we introduce a new measure of precompactness of asubseta in an l.c.-space (X, U, B) by Q (A) := V B A cl (V (K)) (2) for some precompact set K of X}. Let (X α, U α, B α ) α I be a family of l.c.-spaces with precompact polytopes, where I is a finite or infinite index set and X= α I X α.foreachα I,letπ α be the projection of X onto X α and Q α a measure of precompactness in X α. We say that a set-valued mapping T α : X 2 X α is Q α - condensing if Q α (π α (C)) Q α (T α (C)) for every C satisfying π α (C) is a nonprecompact subset of X α.itisclearthatforany set-valued mapping T:X 2 Y and any measure Q in Y, T is Q-condensing whenever Y is compact. Let X be a topological space, let Y be an H-space, and let S, T : X 2 Y be two set-valued mappings. (1) T is said to be upper semicontinuous (u.s.c.) if for each x Xandeach open subset V of Y with T(x) V, there exists a neighborhood N x of x such that T(z) V for all z N x. (2) T is said to be transfer open valued on X if for each x X,foreachy T(x), there exists some x X such that y int T(x ). (3) T is said to be transfer open inverse valued in Y if T 1 is transfer open valued on Y,whereT 1 :Y 2 X is defined by T 1 (y) := x X y T(x)} y Y. (3) (4) The set-valued mappings S T:X 2 Y and cl T: X 2 Y are defined by (S T)(x) := S (x) T(x), cl T (x) := cl (T (x)), x X. Further, we denote by H(X, Y) the class of all u.s.c. setvalued mappings T:X 2 Y with nonempty closed H-convex values. 2. Main Results The following fundamental theorems will play an important role in proving our main theorem. Theorem A (see [16]). Let (X α, U α, B α ) α I be a family of l.c.- spaces with precompact polytopes, X:= α I X α,andlett α : X 2 X α be Q α -condensing. Then there exists a nonempty compact H-convex subset K := α I K α of X such that T α (K) K α. Theorem B (see [16]). Let (X α, U α, B α ) α I be a family of l.c.- spaces with precompact polytopes and X:= α I X α.ift α : X 2 X α is an u.s.c. Q α -condensing mapping with closed Hconvex values for each α I,thenT:= α I T α has a fixed point. (4) Next, we list and establish some essential lemmas as follows. Lemma 1 (see [12]). If X is an l.c.-space and E is an H-convex subset of X,then cl E is also H-convex. Lemma 2 (see [12]). Let X be a topological space and let (Y, Γ D }) be a compact l.c.-space. If T:X 2 Y is an u.s.c. set-valued mapping, then the mapping x cl[h-cot(x)] is also u.s.c.with compact H-convex values. Lemma 3 (see [7]). Let X and Y be topological spaces and let S : X 2 Y be a transfer open valued mapping. Then x X S(x) = Y \ ( x X cl(y \ S(x))) and hence x X S(x) is open in Y. Lemma 4. Let X be paracompact, (Y, Γ D }) an H-space, and S, T : X 2 Y be two set-valued mappings such that (1) S(x) =0and H-coS(x) T(x) for each x X, (2) S is transfer open inverse valued in Y. Then T has a continuous selection; that is, there exists a continuous function f:x Ysuch that f(x) T(x) for each x X. Proof. Since for each x X, S(x) =0,itfollowsthatx S 1 (y) for some y Y.SinceSis transfer open inverse valued in Y, there exists some y x Ysuch that x int S 1 (y x ).This yields that int S 1 (y) y Y} formsanopencoverofx. Since X is paracompact, there exists a locally finite open cover U y y Y}such that U y int S 1 (y) for each y Y.By[17, Theorem 3.1], there exists a continuous function f:x Y such that f(x) Γ y Y x Uy } for all x X.Notethatforany x X, there exist finitely many y Ysuch that x U y int S 1 (y) S 1 (y). This implies y S(x) H-coS(x), and hence y Y x U y } H-coS(x). It follows that for each x X,weget f (x) Γ y Y x Uy } H-coS (x) T(x). (5) Thus, the proof is complete. We remark that Lemma 4 extends [7, Theorem 2] from topological vector spaces to general H-spaces. When S = T and S has open lower sections, Lemma 4 reduces to [18, Theorem 3.1]. Lemma 5. Let X be a compact H-space, and let P:X X 2 X be a set-valued mapping such that for each x X, P 1 (x) is open: then so is (H-coP) 1 (x). Proof. For each z 0 X,wefixan(x 0,y 0 ) (H-coP) 1 (z 0 ). Since z 0 H-coP(x 0,y 0 ),thereisafinitesetz 1,z 2,...,z n } in P(x 0,y 0 ) such that z 0 H-coz 1,z 2,...,z n }.Sinceeach P 1 (z i ) is open, it follows that the set U := n i=1 P 1 (z i ) is also open and (x 0,y 0 ) U.Tocompletetheproof,wewill show that U (H-coP) 1 (z 0 ).Forany(x, y) U, wehave

Abstract and Applied Analysis 3 (x, y) P 1 (z i ) for all i = 1,2,...,n. Accordingly, z i P(x, y) for all i=1,2,...,n.hence, z 0 H-co z 1,z 2,...,z n } H-coP (x, y). (6) That is, (x, y) (H-coP) 1 (z 0 ).Consequently,U (H-coP) 1 (z 0 ). Theorem 6. Let Ω =(X α,a α,b α,f α,p α ) α I be a generalized abstract economy, where I is a set of agents and X= α I X α such that for each α I, (1) X α is an l.c.-space with precompact polytopes, (3) both cl B α and F α are Q α -condensing mappings in H(X, X α ), (4) x α cl(h-cop α (x, y)) for each x, y X, (5) A α (H-coP α ) is transfer open inverse valued in X α, (6) W α := (x, y) X X A α (x) (H-coP α (x, y)) =0} is paracompact. Then Ω has an equilibrium point ( x, y) X X. Proof. For each α I, we define φ α :X X 2 X α by φ α (x, y) := A α (x) (H-coP α (x, y)), (x, y) X X. (7) Assume that W α =0. Then for each (x, y) W α,wehave some y α φ α (x, y).equivalently,(x, y) φ 1 α (y α).itfollows that W α = yα X α φ 1 α (y α). Sinceeachφ α is transfer open inversevaluedinx α by (5), it follows from Lemma 3 that W α is open in X X. For z α X α,if(x, y) φ 1 α (z α), by using (5), we have some z α X α such that (x, y) int φ 1 α (z α ) W α.thus,the restriction φ α Wα :W α 2 X α is transfer open inverse valued in X α. Moreover, by (3), each φ α Wα (x, y) is nonempty and H-convex. Therefore, by Lemma 4, there exists a continuous function f α :W α X α such that f α (x, y) φ α Wα (x, y) for each (x, y) W α. Since cl B α and F α are Q α -condensing, applying Theorem A, we have two nonempty compact H-convex subsets K:= α I K α and K := α I K α of X such that cl B α(k) K α and F α (K ) K α. Using these notations, we define a set-valued mapping S α :K K 2 K α K α by cl (H-cof α (x, y)) F α (x), if (x, y) (K K ) W α, S α (x, y) = cl B α (x) F α (x), if (x, y) (K K )\W α. (8) We will show that S α H(K K,K α K α ).LetV α be an open subset of K α K α. Since cl[h-cof α(x, y)] cl[h-coφ α (x, y)] cl B α (x) for each (x, y) W α,wehave U α =(x,y) K K S α (x, y) V α } =(x,y) (K K ) W α cl [H-cof α (x, y)] F α (x) V α } (x,y) (K K )\W α cl B α (x) F α (x) V α } =(x,y) (K K ) W α cl [H-cof α (x, y)] F α (x) V α } (x,y) K K cl B α (x) F α (x) V α }. It follows from Lemma 2 and the upper semicontinuity of cl B α F α that U α is open in K K.Hence,S α is u.s.c.further, by (3) and Lemma 1, each S α (x, y) is nonempty, closed, and H-convex. Therefore, S α H(K K,K α K α ). Next, we define a set-valued mapping T α : K K 2 K α K α by T α (x, y) (9) = S α (x, y), if (x, y) (K K ) W α, cl B α (x) F α (x), if (x, y) (K K )\W α. (10) Since K α K α is compact, each T α is Q α -condensing in H(K K,K α K α ).Hence,byTheoremB,theset-valued mapping α I T α has a fixed point ( x, y) K K ;thatis, ( x α, y α ) T α ( x, y) for each α I.If( x, y) W α,then ( x α, y α ) cl (S α ( x, y)) cl (B α (x) (H-coP α ( x, y))) F α ( x). (11) Thus, x α cl(h-cop α ( x, y)), which contradicts with (4). Therefore, ( x, y) W α and hence x α cl B α ( x), y α F α ( x), and A α ( x) P α ( x, y) = 0 for each α I.Thatis,( x, y) is an equilibrium of Ω. Remark that condition (4) of Theorem 6 canbereplaced by a milder condition x α cl(b α (x) H-coP α (x, y)) for each (x, y) W α. Further, when each l.c.-space (X α,γ α ) satisfies Γ α x α } =x α}, condition (4) can be modified by x α H-coP α (x, y) without affecting the conclusion. Corollary 7. Let Ω =(X α,a α,b α,f α,p α ) α I be a generalized abstract economy, where I is a set of agents and X= α I X α such that for each α I, (1) (X α,γ α ) is an l.c.-space with precompact polytopes, and Γ α x α } =x α} for each x α X α,

4 Abstract and Applied Analysis (3) both cl B α and F α are Q α -condensing mappings in H(X, X α ), (4) x α H-coP α (x, y) for each x, y X, (5) A α (H-coP α ) is transfer open inverse valued in X α, (6) W α := (x, y) X X A α (x) (H-coP α (x, y)) =0} is paracompact. Then Ω has an equilibrium point ( x, y) X X. Proof. According to the proof of Theorem 6 and by virtue of the condition Γ α x α } =x α } for each x α X α,weobtain cl(h-cof α (x, y)) = f α (x, y). It follows that the set-valued mapping S α canbedefinedby S α (x, y)= f α (x, y) F α (x), if (x, y) (K K ) W α, cl B α (x) F α (x), if (x, y) (K K )\W α. (12) Thus, by an analogue proof to Theorem 6, we may conclude that Ω has an equilibrium point. Following the proof of Theorem 6 by taking φ α (x, y) := cl B α (x) (H-coP α (x, y)), we may obtain a new version of equilibrium existence theorem as follows. Corollary 8. Let Ω =(X α,a α,b α,f α,p α ) α I be a generalized abstract economy, where I is a set of agents and X= α I X α such that for each α I, (1) X α is an l.c.-space with precompact polytopes, (3) both cl B α and F α are Q α -condensing mappings in H(X, X α ), (4) x α cl(h-cop α (x, y)) for each x, y X, (5) cl B α (H-coP α ) is transfer open inverse valued in X α, (6) W α := (x, y) X X cl B α (x) (H-coP α (x, y)) =0} is paracompact. Then Ω has an equilibrium point ( x, y) X X. Notice that Theorem 6 generalizes [7,Kim-Tan,Theorem 2], in which they deal with the case of locally convex topological vector spaces under some compactness conditions, and it also improves [19, Wu-Yuan,Theorem 3]in the setting of locally H-convex spaces. We also note that if X is metrizable, the set W α is also metrizable and hence is paracompact. Therefore, the assumption (6) of Theorem 6 is automatically satisfied. Furthermore, if each X α is compact, then both cl B α and F α are obviously Q α -condensing. Thus, we have an immediate consequence, which is a generalization of [7, Kim- Tan, Corollary 1] to H-spaces. Corollary 9. Let Ω =(X α,a α,b α,f α,p α ) α I be a generalized abstract economy, where I is a set of agents such that for each α I, (1) (X α,γ α ) is a metrizable compact l.c.-space, and Γ α x α } = x α } for each x α X α, (3) cl B α H(X, X α ),andf α H(X, X α ), (4) x α H-coP α (x, y) for each x, y X, (5) A α (H-coP α ) is transfer open inverse valued in X α. Then Ω has an equilibrium point ( x, y) X X. Wenotethatourmainresultsfocusonthesettingof general l.c.-spaces without any linear structure; further, the correspondences are not necessarily lower semicontinuous and do not require the usual open lower section assumption, such as the earlier works [3, Theorem4],[13, Theorem3 and its Corollary], [19, Theorems1and3],and[18, Theorem 6.1]. In fact, we can give a simple example applicable for Corollary 9, while previous results do not. Example 10. Consider the set I of agents is singleton. Let X= [0, 1] and the correspondences A, B, F : X 2 X be defined by A(x) = B(x) = [0, 1],andF(x) = x} for each x X.The preference correspondence P:X X 2 X is defined as follows: ( x 1 +x 2,1], if x 2 1 <x 2, x 1,x 2 Q, ( x 1 +2x 2,1], if x P(x 1,x 2 )= 3 1 <x 2, x 1 Q, or x 2 Q, 0, if x 1 =x 2, 0}, if x 1 >x 2. (13) Then A (H-coP) = A P is transfer open inverse valued in X. Indeed, (A P) 1 (0) = P 1 (0) = (x 1,x 2 ) x 1 > x 2 } is open in X X,andforanyt (0, 1] and (x 1,x 2 ) (A P) 1 (t) = P 1 (t),wealwayshave(x 1,x 2 ) int P 1 (1) = int(a P) 1 (1).However,thelowersection(A P) 1 (1/2) is not open. Indeed, let a n = (1/2) (1/n 2) and let b n =9/10; then (a n,b n ) X X\(A P) 1 (1/2) and (a n,b n ) converges to (1/2, 9/10), which does not belong to X X\(A P) 1 (1/2). This means that the set X X\(A P) 1 (1/2) is not closed, and hence (A P) 1 (1/2) is not open. Further, for each x 1,x 2 X, x 1 P(x 1,x 2 ) = H-coP(x 1,x 2 ). Thus, all hypotheses of Corollary 9 are satisfied so that the generalized abstract economy Ω has an equilibrium point in X X. In fact, all the equilibria of Ω are the points (a, a),wherea [0,1]. Let X and Y be two topological spaces. Given three setvalued mappings T:X 2 Y, F:X 2 X, A:X 2 X,

Abstract and Applied Analysis 5 and a function φ : X X Y R, ageneralized quasivariational inequality is defined as follows: Find ( x, w, y) X X Y such that x cla ( x), w F( x), (GQVI) y T( x), φ (z, x, y) 0, z A ( x) (F 1 ( w)) C. (14) In particular, if F(x) = x} for each x X,then (F 1 (w)) C = w} C = X \ w}. Therefore, the (GQVI)reduces to the usual quasi-variational inequality as follows: Find ( x, y) X Y (QVI) such that x cl A ( x), y T( x), φ (z, x, y) 0, z A ( x) \ x}. (15) Theorem 11. Let (X, Γ) be an l.c.-space with precompact polytopes, Γ x} =x}for each x X,andletY be a topological space. The set-valued mappings T:X 2 Y and F, A : X 2 X satisfy T H(X,Y), F H(X,X),andcl A H(X,X), and A 1 (x) is open for all x X.Supposethatφ : X X Y R is a function such that (1) φ α (x,x,y) 0for all x Xand y T(x), (2) for each fixed z X,themapping(x, y) φ(z, x, y) is lower semicontinuous, (3) for each fixed (x, y) X Y, themappingz φ(z, x, y) is H-quasiconvex in the following sense that for any finite set D in X, φ (z, x, y) max u D φ(u,x,y), z H-coD. (16) Then there is a solution to (GQVI). Proof. Define a set-valued mapping P:X X 2 X by P (x, w) := z X inf y T(x) φ (z, x, y) < 0} (F 1 (w)) C, (x, w) X X. (17) By [20,Proposition23,page121],foreachfixedz X,the mapping x inf y T(x) φ(z, x, y) is lower semicontinuous. Thus, the set x X inf y T(x) φ(z, x, y) > 0} is open for each z X.Itfollowsthat P 1 (z) =(x X (X (T (z)) C ) inf φ (z, x, y) > 0} X) y T(x) (18) is open. By Lemma 5, (H-coP) 1 (z) is also open. Next, we show that x H-coP(x, w) for all x, w X. Assume that there are x 0 and w 0 satisfying x 0 H-coP(x 0,w 0 ). Then there is a finite subset D of P(x 0,w 0 ) such that x 0 H-coD. For each fixed y T(x 0 ),sincethemappingz φ(z,x 0,y)is H-quasiconvex, it follows that 0 inf φ(x 0,x 0,y) inf max φ (z, x 0,y). y T(x 0 ) y T(x 0 ) z D (19) By Kneser s minimax theorem [21], together with z P(x 0,w 0 ) for all z D,wehave inf max φ (z, x 0,y)=max inf φ (z, x 0,y)<0. y T(x 0 ) z D z D y T(x 0 ) (20) Thisisacontradiction.Thus,allhypothesesofCorollary 7 are satisfied. Therefore, there exist x, w Xsuch that x cl A( x), w F( x),anda( x) P( x, w) = 0,Itfollowsthat inf y T( x) φ (z, x, y) 0, z A ( x) (F 1 ( w)) C. (21) Since T( x) is compact, there is y T( x) such that φ(z, x, y) 0 for all z A( x) (F 1 ( w)) C.Thatis,( x, w, y) is a solution to (GQVI). References [1] W. Shafer and H.
