On generalized Ekeland’s variational principle and equivalent formulations for set-valued mappings

We propose a very weak type of generalized distances called a weak τ-function and use it to weaken the assumptions about lower semicontinuity in existing versions of Ekeland’s variational principle and equivalent formulations.
