Recently, Ky Fan extended his will known lemma (which is an extension of the classical theorem of Knaster, Kuratowski and Mazurkiewica) to the noncompact case. Using this result, another interesting lemma of Fan is generalized in this paper. As applications of our theorem, we obtain a generalizationof Browder's variational inequality and derive Fan's other recent results directly from our theorem. Also, in this paper, we give a slight extension recent results of K. K. Tan, which themselves are generalizations of many well-known results on minimax and variational inequalities.
