In this article we derive some best approximation theorems for multimaps in abstract convex metric spaces. We are based on generalized KKM maps due to Kassay-Kolumbán, Chang-Zhang, and studied by Park, Kim-Park, Park-Lee, and Lee. Our main results are extensions of a recent work of Mitrović-Hussain-Sen-Radenović on G-convex metric spaces to partial KKM metric spaces. We also recall known works related to single-valued maps, and introduce new partial KKM metric spaces which can be applied our new results.

We introduce a new concept of convex spaces and a multimap class K having certain KKM property. From a basic KKM type theorem for a K-map defined on an convex space without any topology, we deduce ten equivalent formulations of the theorem. As applications of the equivalents, in the frame of convex topological spaces, we obtain Fan-Browder type fixed point theorems, almost fixed point theorems for multimaps, mutual relations between the map classes K and B, variational inequalities, the von Neumann type minimax theorems, and the Nash equilibrium theorems.

Since Knaster, Kuratowski, and Mazurkiewicz established their KKM theorem in 1929, it was first applied to topological vector spaces mainly by Fan and Granas. Later it was extended to convex spaces by Lassonde and to extensions of c-spaces by Horvath. In 1992, such study was called the KKM theory by ourselves. Then the theory was extended to generalized convex spaces or G-convex spaces. Motivated by such spaces, there have appeared several particular types of artificial spaces. In 2006 we introduced abstract convex spaces which contain all existing spaces appeared in the KKM theory. Later in 2014-2020, Khahn and Quan introduced "topologically based existence theorems" and the so-called KKM structure. In the present paper, we show that their structure is a particular type of already known KKM spaces.
