In this paper, a new Fan-Browder type fixed-point theorem is proved under n
oncompact setting of general topological spaces. By applying the fixed-poin
t theorem, several new existence theorems of solutions for quasi-equilibriu
m problems are proved under noncompact setting of topological spaces. These
theorems improve and generalize a number of important known results in lit
erature. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
