In this paper, an assertion about the minimum of the graph of a mapping acting in partially ordered spaces is obtained. The proof of this statement uses the theorem on the minimum of a mapping in a partially ordered space from [A.V. Arutyunov, E.S. Zhukovskiy, S.E. Zhukovskiy. Caristi-like condition and the existence of minima of mappings in partially ordered spaces // Journal of Optimization Theory and Applications. 2018. V. 180. Iss. 1, 48–61]. It is also shown that this statement is an analogue of the Eckland and Bishop-Phelps variational principles which are effective tools for studying extremal problems for functionals defined on metric spaces. Namely, the statement obtained in this paper and applied to a partially ordered space created from a metric space by introducing analogs of the Bishop-Phelps order relation, is equivalent to the classical Eckland and Bishop-Phelps variational principles.
