A generalization of the Schauder fixed point theorem via multivalued contractions

Paolo Cubiotti, Beatrice Di Bella (2001)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We establish a fixed point theorem for a continuous function f : X E , where E is a Banach space and X E . Our result, which involves multivalued contractions, contains the classical Schauder fixed point theorem as a special case. An application is presented.

A geometric approach to accretivity

Leonid V. Kovalev (2007)

Studia Mathematica

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.

A geometric derivation of the linear Boltzmann equation for a particle interacting with a Gaussian random field, using a Fock space approach

Sébastien Breteaux (2014)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

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.
