In this paper we obtain first a very general coincidence theorem. From this we derive a new coincidence theorem and two alternative theorems concerning existence of maximal elements. Applications of these results to generalized equilibrium problems and minimax inequalities are given in the last sect

โฆ Synopsis
In this paper, we establish some fixed point theorems for a family of multivalued maps under mild conditions. By using our fixed point theorems, we derive some maximal element theorems for a particular family of multivalued maps, namely the ฮฆ-condensing multivalued maps. As applications of our results, we prove some general equilibrium existence theorems in the generalized abstract economies with preference correspondences. Further applications of our results are also given to minimax inequalities for a family of functions.

New fixed-point theorems for two maps defined on product spaces are obtained. These new results only require one of them to satisfy a noncompactness condition. Previous results required each map to satisfy a noncompactness condition. Applications of our results are given to intersection problems for
