Abstract

Using the topological degree and the concept of exceptional family of elements for a continuous function, we prove a very general existence theorem for the nonlinear complementarity problem. This result is an alternative theorem. A generalization of Karamardian‘s condition and the asymptotic monotonicity are also introduced. Several applications of the main results are presented.
