In the framework of uniiorm spaces, we introduce p-distances and more generally, q-distances. Then we introduce a new type of completeness for uniform spaces, i.e., sequential completeness with respect to a q-distance (particularly, a p-distance), which is a very extensive concept of completeness. By using q-distances and the new type of completeness, we prove a generalized Takahashi's nonconvex minimization theorem, a generalized Ekeland's variational principle and a generalized Caristi's fixed point theorem. Moreover, we show that the above three theorems are equivalent to each other. From the generalized Ekeland's variational principle, we deduce a number of particular versions of Ekeland's principle, which include many known versions of the principle and their improvements.展开更多
