Abstract

In this paper, we consider some well–known equilibrium problems and their duals in a topological Hausdorff vector space X for a bifunction F defined on \kk,where K is a convex subset of X. Some necessary conditions are investigated, proving different results depending on the behaviour of F on the diagonal set. The concept of proper quasimonotonicity for bifunctions is defined, and the relationship with generalized monotonicity is investigated. The main result proves that the condition of proper quasimonotonicity is sharp in order to solve the dual equilibrium problem on every convex set.
