By using a Danes drop theorem in locally convex spaces we obtain a vectorial form of Ekeland-type variational principle in locally convex spaces. From this theorem we derive some versions of vectorial Caristi-Kirk s fixed-point theorem Takahashi s nonconvex minimization theorem and Oettli-Thera s theorem. Furthermore we show that these results are equivalent to each other. Also the existence of solution of vector equilibrium problem is given. 1. Introduction and Preliminaries A very important result in nonlinear analysis about the existence result for an approximate minimizer of a lower semicontinuous and bounded below function was first presented by Ekeland 1 . Known nowadays as Ekeland s variational principle in short EVP it has significant applications in the geometry theory of Banach spaces optimization theory game theory optimal control theory dynamical systems and so forth see 1-11 and references therein. It is well known that EVP is equivalent to many famous results namely the Caristi-Kirk fixed-point theorem the petal theorem Phelp s lemma Danes drop theorem Oettli-Thera s theorem and Takahashi s theorem see for example 4 6 7 10 12-19 . Many authors have obtained EVP on complete metric spaces 1 10 .
