On the existence and stability of approximate solutions of perturbed vector equilibrium problems

In this paper we consider several concepts of approximate minima of a set in normed vector spaces and we provide some results concerning the stability of these minima under perturbation of the underlying set with a sequence of sets converging in the sense of Painlevé–Kuratowski to the initial set. Then, we introduce the concept of approximate solution for equilibrium problem governed by set-valued maps and we study the stability of these solutions. The particular case of linear continuous operators is considered as well. © 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved
