Abstract
The problem of minimizing a possibly non-convex and non-coercive functional is studied. Either necessary or sufficient conditions for the existence of solutions are given, involving a generalized recession functional, whose properties are discussed thoroughly. The abstract results are applied to find existence of equilibrium configurations of a deformable body subject to a system of applied forces and partially constrained to lie inside a possibly unbounded region.

Existence Theorems for Generalized Noncoercive Equilibrium Problems: The Quasi-Convex Case

TL;DR: In this article, a characterization of the nonemptiness of the solution set for generalized non-coercive equilibrium problems (an extension of generalized quasi-variational inequalities) defined in reflexive Banach spaces in the quasi-convex case is provided.
