In this paper we give two matching theorems of Ky Fan type concerning open or closed coverings of nonempty convex sets in a topological vector space. One of them will permit us to put in evidence, when X and Y are convex sets in topological vector spaces, a new subclass of KKM(X, Y) different by any admissible class $\mathfrak{u}_c$(X, Y). For this class of set-valued mappings we establish a KKM-type theorem which will be then used for obtaining existence theorems for the solutions of two types of simultaneous relation problems.
