Abstract
The principal aim of this paper is to extend some recent results which concern problems involving bifunctions to similar generalized problems for multivalued bifunctions. To this end, by using the appropriate notions of strict pseudomonotonicity we establish the relationships between generalized vector equilibrium problems and generalized minimal element problems of feasible sets. Moreover relationships between generalized least element problems of feasible sets and generalized vector equilibrium problems are studied by employing the concept of Z-multibifunctions.
