Abstract
The aim of this work is to analyze lexicographic equilibrium problems on a topological Hausdorff vector space X, and their relationship with some other vector equilibrium problems. Existence results for the tangled lexicographic problem are proved via the study of a related sequential problem. This approach was already followed by the same authors in the case of variational inequalities.
