In this paper, we introduce the generalized Ekeland's variational principle in several forms. The general setting of our results includes a graphical metric structure and also employs a generalized $w$-distance. We then applied the proposed variational principles to obtain existence theorems for a class of quasi-equilibrium problems whose constraint maps are induced from the graphical structure. The conditions used in our existence results are based on a very general concept called a convergence class. Finally, we deduce the existence of a generalized Nash equilibrium via its quasi-equilibrium reformulation. A validating example is also presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
