Positive solutions of some nonlocal boundary value problems.
In this paper, we offer a new stability concept, practical Ulam-Hyers-Rassias stability, for nonlinear equations in Banach spaces, which consists in a restriction of Ulam-Hyers-Rassias stability to bounded subsets. We derive some interesting sufficient conditions on practical Ulam-Hyers-Rassias stability from a nonlinear functional analysis point of view. Our method is based on solving nonlinear equations via homotopy method together with Bihari inequality result. Then we consider nonlinear equations...
The notion of proximal normal structure is introduced and used to study mappings that are "relatively nonexpansive" in the sense that they are defined on the union of two subsets A and B of a Banach space X and satisfy ∥ Tx-Ty∥ ≤ ∥ x-y∥ for all x ∈ A, y ∈ B. It is shown that if A and B are weakly compact and convex, and if the pair (A,B) has proximal normal structure, then a relatively nonexpansive mapping T: A ∪ B → A ∪ B satisfying (i) T(A) ⊆ B and T(B) ⊆ A, has a proximal point in the sense that...
