✦ Synopsis

this paper, as applications of the Knsster-Kuratowski and Mazurkiewicz principle in the hyperconvex version, we obtain the Ky Fan type matching theorems for closed and open covers. As applications, some intersection theorems which are hyperconvex versions of corresponding results due to Alexandroff and Pasynkoff, Fan, Klee, Horv&th, and Lassonde are established. Then, the Ky Fan type best approximation theorem and Schauder-Tychonoff fixed-point theorem (i.e., Fan-Glicksberg fixed-point theorem) for set-valued mappings in noncompact hyperconvex spaces are also given. Finally, we obtain a general form of the Browder-Fan fixed-point theorem for set-valued mappings in noncompact hyperconvex spaces. These results include corresponding results in the literature as special cases.
