Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a concept of quasi C-lower semicontinuity for set-valued mapping and provide a vector version of Ekeland´s theorem related to set-valued vector equilibrium problems. As applications, we derive an existence theorem of weakly efficient so-lution for set-valued vector equilibrium problems without the assumption of convexity of the
constraint set and the assumptions of convexity and monotonicity of the set-valued mapping. We also obtain an existence theorem of "-approximate solution for set-valued vector equi-librium problems without the assumptions of compactness and convexity of the constraint set.
