On Kakutani's Fixed Point Theorem, the K-K-M-S Theorem and the Core of a Balanced Game.
We provide elementary proofs of Scarf's theorem on the non-emptiness of the core and of the K-K-M-S theorem, based.on Kakutani's fixed point theorem. We also show how these proofs can be modified to apply a coincidence theorem of Fan instead of Kakutani's fixed point theorem, for some additional simplicity.
