In this paper we study the existence and uniqueness of a solution for minimization problems with generic increasing functions in an ordered Banach space X. The standard approaches are not suitable in such a setting. We propose a new type of perturbation adjusted for the problem under consideration, prove the existence and point out sufficient conditions providing the uniqueness of a solution. These results are proved by assuming that the space X enjoys the following property: each decreasing norm-bounded sequence has a limit. We supply a counterexample, which shows that this property is essential and give a modification of obtained results for the space C(T), which does not possess this property.
