A la recherche du spectre perdu: An invitation to nonlinear spectral theory

Appell, Jürgen (2003)

Nonlinear Analysis, Function Spaces and Applications

We give a survey on spectra for various classes of nonlinear operators, with a particular emphasis on a comparison of their advantages and drawbacks. Here the most useful spectra are the asymptotic spectrum by M. Furi, M. Martelli and A. Vignoli (1978), the global spectrum by W. Feng (1997), and the local spectrum (called “phantom”) by P. Santucci and M. Väth (2000). In the last part we discuss these spectra for homogeneous operators (of any degree), and derive a discreteness result and a nonlinear...

A minimax inequality with applications to existence of equilibrium point and fixed point theorems

Xie Ding, Kok-Keong Tan (1992)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Ky Fan’s minimax inequality [8, Theorem 1] has become a versatile tool in nonlinear and convex analysis. In this paper, we shall first obtain a minimax inequality which generalizes those generalizations of Ky Fan’s minimax inequality due to Allen [1], Yen [18], Tan [16], Bae Kim Tan [3] and Fan himself [9]. Several equivalent forms are then formulated and one of them, the maximal element version, is used to obtain a fixed point theorem which in turn is applied to obtain an existence theorem of an...

A new class of nonexpansive type mappings and fixed points

Ljubomir B. Ćirić (1999)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

In this paper a new class of self-mappings on metric spaces, which satisfy the nonexpensive type condition (3) below is introduced and investigated. The main result is that such mappings have a unique fixed point. Also, a remetrization theorem, which is converse to Banach contraction principle is given.
