Given a closed, convex cone S, in Rn, its polar S* and a mapping g from Rn into itself, the generalized nonlinear complementarity problem is to find a zRn such that

Many existence theorems for the problem have been established under varying conditions on g. We introduce new mappings, denoted by J(S)-functions, each of which is used to guarantee the existence of a solution to the generalized problem under certain coercivity conditions on itself. A mapping g:SRn is a J(S)-function if

imply that z = 0. It is observed that the new class of functions is a broader class than the previously studied ones.
