Resumen de A KKM-result and an application for binary and non-binary choice functions
Juan V. Llinares, Mª Carmen Sánchez, Begoña Subiza Martínez
By generalizing the classical Knaster-Kuratowski-Mazurkiewicz Theorem, we obtain a result that provides sufficient conditions to ensure the non-emptiness of several kinds of choice functions. This result generalizes well-known results on the existence of maximal elements for binary relations (Bergstrom, 1975; Walker, 1977; Tian, 1993), on the non-emptiness of non-binary choice functions (Nehring, 1996; Llinares and Sánchez, 1999) and on the non-emptiness of some classical solutions for tournaments (top cycle and uncovered set) on non-finite sets.
