Measures of noncircularity and fixed points of contractive multifunctions.
Sufficient conditions for normal structure of a Banach space are given. One of them implies reflexivity for Banach spaces with an unconditional basis, and also for Banach lattices.
In this paper we prove a collection of new fixed point theorems for operators of the form on an unbounded closed convex subset of a Hausdorff topological vector space . We also introduce the concept of demi--compact operator and -semi-closed operator at the origin. Moreover, a series of new fixed point theorems of Krasnosel’skii type is proved for the sum of two operators, where is -sequentially continuous and -compact while is -sequentially continuous (and -condensing, -nonexpansive or nonlinear contraction...
If (X,d) is a metric space then a map f: X → X is defined to be a weak contraction if d(f(x),f(y)) < d(x,y) for all x,y ∈ X, x ≠ y. We determine the simplest non-closed sets X ⊆ ℝⁿ in the sense of descriptive set-theoretic complexity such that every weak contraction f: X → X is constant. In order to do so, we prove that there exists a non-closed set F ⊆ ℝ such that every weak contraction f: F → F is constant. Similarly, there exists a non-closed set G ⊆ ℝ such that every weak contraction...
We give a lower bound for the minimal displacement characteristic in Hilbert spaces.
The so-called minimax theorem means that if X and Y are two sets, and f and g are two real-valued functions defined on X×Y, then under some conditions the following inequality holds: . We will extend the two functions version of minimax theorems without the usual condition: f ≤ g. We replace it by a milder condition: , ∀y ∈ Y. However, we require some restrictions; such as, the functions f and g are jointly upward, and their upper sets are connected. On the other hand, by using some properties...
The paper deals with the properties of a monotone operator defined on a subset of an ordered Banach space. The structure of the set of fixed points between the minimal and maximal ones is described.
Second order nonlinear delay differential equations are considered, and Krasnosel'skiĭ's fixed point theorem is used to establish a result on the existence of positive solutions of a boundary value problem on the half-line. This result can be used to guarantee the existence of multiple positive solutions. A specification of the result obtained to the case of second order nonlinear ordinary differential equations as well as to a particular case of second order nonlinear delay differential equations...
In this paper, we prove some multiplicity results for sign-changing solutions of an operator equation in an ordered Banach space. The methods to show the main results of the paper are to associate a fixed point index with a strict upper or lower solution. The results can be applied to a wide variety of boundary value problems to obtain multiplicity results for sign-changing solutions.
