Best approximation and fixed-point theorems for discontinuous increasing maps in Banach lattices

In this paper, we extend and prove Ky Fan’s Theorem for discontinuous increasing maps f in a Banach lattice X when f has no compact conditions. The main tools of analysis are the variational characterization of the generalized projection operator and order-theoretic fixed-point theory. Moreover, we establish a sequence { x n } which converges strongly to the unique best approximation point. As an application of our best approximation theorems, a fixed-point theorem for non-self maps is established and proved under some conditions. Our results generalize and improve many recent results obtained by many authors. MSC: 06F30, 47H07, 41A50, 41A65.
