Abstract. In this paper, we prove the following result. Let $(H,\langle\cdot,\cdot\rangle)$ be a real Hilbert space, $B$ a ball in $H$ centered at $0$ and $\Phi:B\to H$ a $C^{1,1}$ function with $\Phi(0)\neq 0$ such that the function $x\to \langle \Phi(x),x-y\rangle$ is weakly lower semicontinuous in $B$ for all $y\in B$ . Then, for each $r>0$ small enough, there exists a unique point $x^*\in H$ with $\|x^*\|=r$ such that $\max\{\langle \Phi(x^*),x^*-y\rangle, \langle \Phi(y),x^*-y\rangle\}<0$ for all $y\in H\setminus \{x^*\}$ with $\|y\|\leq r$ .
