Abstract
We provide an approach to maximal monotone bifonctions based on the theory of representative functions. Thus we extend to nonreflexive Banach spaces recent results due to A. N. Iusem and, respectively, N. Hadjisawas and H. Khatibzadeh, where sufficient conditions guaranteeing the maximal monotonicity of bifonctions were introduced. New results involving the sum of two monotone bifonctions are also presented.
