Topological degree for maximal monotone operators and application to parametric optimization problems.
The aim of this paper is to modify the theory to fuzzy metric spaces, a natural extension of probabilistic ones. More precisely, the modification concerns fuzzily normed linear spaces, and, after defining a fuzzy concept of completeness, fuzzy Banach spaces. After discussing some properties of mappings with compact images, we define the (Leray-Schauder) degree by a sort of colimit extension of (already assumed) finite dimensional ones. Then, several properties of thus defined concept are proved....
On the background of a brief survey panorama of results on the topic in the title, one new theorem is presented concerning a positive topological entropy (i.e. topological chaos) for the impulsive differential equations on the Cartesian product of compact intervals, which is positively invariant under the composition of the associated Poincaré translation operator with a multivalued upper semicontinuous impulsive mapping.
It is known that the nonlinear nonhomogeneous backward Cauchy problem , with , where is a densely defined positive self-adjoint unbounded operator on a Hilbert space, is ill-posed in the sense that small perturbations in the final value can lead to large deviations in the solution. We show, under suitable conditions on and , that a solution of the above problem satisfies an integral equation involving the spectral representation of , which is also ill-posed. Spectral truncation is used...
