Abstract
In this paper, we first obtain an existence theorem of the solutions for a variational relation problem. An existence theorem for a variational inclusion problem, a KKM theorem and an extension of the well know Ky Fan inequality will be established, as particular cases. Some applications concerning a saddle point problem with constraints, existence of a common fixed point for two mappings and an optimization problem with constraints, will be given in the last section of the paper.
