In the first place, we present a quasi fixed-point theorem for a correspondence defined on some infinite-dimensional locally convex topological vector space such that some variables have open lower sections and the other ones are upper semicontinuous. In the second place, we propose a direct...

The model developed in this paper extends the strategic location framework under Cournot competition in order to allow for different production costs across locations.
