NEWYORK. BASEL Preface Since Knaster, Kuratowski andMazurkiewicz formulated theso-called principle in 1929, the study of nonlinear analysis associated with the KKM principle has beena rapidly developing area in mathematicswhich is emerging an independent field. Owing to the significant contributions by Professor Ky Fan in the last few decades, large part of nonlinear analysis related to the
