Existence theorems for saddle points of vector-valued maps. (English) Zbl 0849.49009

Summary: In this paper, we prove some new existence theorems for loose saddle points and for saddle points of set-valued maps or vector-valued functions. These theorems generalize the corresponding results of Tanaka and those of Luc and Varga via different proofs.
