A generalization of the Opial's theorem
We establish a fixed point theorem for a continuous function , where is a Banach space and . Our result, which involves multivalued contractions, contains the classical Schauder fixed point theorem as a special case. An application is presented.
We establish a connection between generalized accretive operators introduced by F. E. Browder and the theory of quasisymmetric mappings in Banach spaces pioneered by J. Väisälä. The interplay of the two fields allows for geometric proofs of continuity, differentiability, and surjectivity of generalized accretive operators.
In this article the linear Boltzmann equation is derived for a particle interacting with a Gaussian random field, in the weak coupling limit, with renewal in time of the random field. The initial data can be chosen arbitrarily. The proof is geometric and involves coherent states and semi-classical calculus.
