We show the connexions between the maximality of a monotone set-valued mapping and some continuity conditions on the domain of the mapping and on the mapping itself. We provide an original and simple proof of the famous characterization of maximal monotone mapping of Minty. Some words are said on monotone variational and generalized equilibrium problems.
Keywords: Monotonicity, maximal monotonicity, variational inequality problems, generalized equilibrium problems.
