The existence of zeros of set-valued mappings in reflexive Banach spaces

In this paper, we establish the equivalence between the existence of zeros for set-valued mappings and the solvability of variational inequality, under some conditions involving the generalized projection operator. Basing on this result, we obtain some existence theorems of zeros for quasimonotone set-valued mappings. As application, we derive several fixed point theorems for generalized inward mappings in Hilbert spaces.
