Maximal quasimonotonicity and dense single-directional properties of quasimonotone operators

The concept of maximal quasimonotonicity of set-valued map is introduced and studied. Regularity properties of this class of operators is investigated, in particular the ccvc property, an adaptation to the quasimonotone case of the classical notion of cusco map. In an Asplund space, we provide sufficient conditions for a ccvc quasimonotone operator to be single-directional on a $$G_\delta $$Gδ-dense subset.
