-convexity and best approximation.
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...
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...
