Abstract

In the present paper, we introduce and study a fuzzy vector equilibrium problem and prove some existence results with and without convexity assumptions by using some particular forms of results of textit{Kim} and textit{Lee} [W.K. Kim and K.H. Lee, Generalized fuzzy games and fuzzy equilibria, Fuzzy Sets and Systems, 122 (2001), 293-301] and textit{Tarafdar} [E. Tarafdar, Fixed point theorems in $H$-spaces and equilibrium points of abstract economies, J. Aust. Math. Soc.(Series A), 53(1992), 252-260]. An example is also constructed in support of fuzzy vector equilibrium problem.
