Inequalities and Nash equilibria Original Research Article

This paper concentrates on the problem of the existence of equilibrium points for non-cooperative generalized N-person games, N-person games of normal form and their related inequalities. We utilize the K–K–M lemma to obtain a theorem and then use it to obtain a new Fan-type inequality and minimax theorems. Various new equilibrium point theorems are derived, with the necessary and sufficient conditions and with strategy spaces with no fixed point property. Examples are given to demonstrate that these existence theorems cover areas where other existence theorems break down.
