The concept of a convex space is extended to an H-space; that is, a space having certain family of contractible subsets. For such spaces the KKM type theorems, the Fan-Browder fixed point theorem, the Ky Fan type matching theorem, and minimax inequalities are given. Moreover, applications to a von Neumann-Sion type minimax theorem, a saddle point theorem, a quasi-variational inequality, and a Kakutani type fixed point theorem are obtained.
