Abstract
In this paper, we introduce and study a class of multi-leader-follower generalized multiobjective games in FC-spaces where the number of leaders and followers may be finite or infinite and the objective functions of leaders and followers get their values in infinite-dimensional spaces. By using a Pareto equilibrium existence theorem of generalized constrained multiobjective games in FC-spaces due to author, some equilibrium existence theorems for the multi-leader-follower generalized multiobjective games are established in noncompact FC-spaces. These results improve and generalize some corresponding results in recent literatures.
