چکیده

In this paper, a new version of Ekeland's variational principle by using the concept of $\tau$-distance for bounded from below functions which are not necessarily lower semicontinuous is provided. This new version of Ekeland's variational principle will be applied to establish an existence theorem for a solution to the equilibrium problem in the setting of complete metric spaces.
