Abstract
This is an edited version of three lectures that were given at the workshop on minimax theory and applications that was held at the “Ettore Majorana” international center for scientific culture in Erice, Sicily, September 30 – October 6, 1996. The purpose of these lectures is to show how a standard minimax theorem can be used to give some new results, and very simplified proofs of some old results, about monotone multifunctions on a Banach space.
