Abstract

In this paper, we introduce the concept of feasible set for an equilibrium problem with a convex cone and generalize the notion of a Z-function for bifunctions. Under suitable assumptions, we derive some equivalence results of equilibrium problems, least element problems, and nonlinear programming problems. The results presented extend some results of [Riddell, R.C.: Equivalence of nonlinear complementarity problems and least element problems in Banach lattices. Math. Oper. Res. 6, 462–474 (1981)] to equilibrium problems.
