Our aim is twofold first we want to introduce a partial quasiordering in cone uniform spaces with generalized pseudodistances for giving the general maximality principle in these spaces. Second we want to show how this maximality principle can be used to obtain new and general results of Ekeland and Caristi types without lower semicontinuity assumptions which was not done in the previous publications on this subject. 1. Introduction The famous Banach contraction principle 1 fundamental in fixed point theory has been extended in many different directions. Among these extensions Caristi s fixed point theorem 2 concerning dissipative maps with lower semicontinuous entropies equivalent to celebrated Ekeland s variational principle 3 providing approximate solutions of nonconvex minimization problems concerning lower semicontinuous maps may be the most valuable one. These results are very useful simple and important tools for investigating various problems in nonlinear analysis mathematical programming control theory abstract economy global analysis and others. They have many .
