Abstract

In this paper we prove Ekeland's variational principle in the setting of locally complete spaces for lower semi continuous functions from above and bounded below. We use this theorem to prove Caristi's fixed point theorem in the same setting and also for lower semi continuous functions.

Keywords: locally complete spaces, lower semi-continuity from above, variational principle, fixed point, minimization, equilibrium
