Characterizations of the ranges of some nonlinear operators and applications to boundary value problems
2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 90C26, 90C20, 49J52, 47H05, 47J20.In this paper we obtain some simple characterizations of the solution sets of a pseudoconvex program and a variational inequality. Similar characterizations of the solution set of a quasiconvex quadratic program are derived. Applications of these characterizations are given.
We give a basic sequence characterization of relative weak compactness in c₀ and we construct new examples of closed, bounded, convex subsets of c₀ failing the fixed point property for nonexpansive self-maps. Combining these results, we derive the following characterization of weak compactness for closed, bounded, convex subsets C of c₀: such a C is weakly compact if and only if all of its closed, convex, nonempty subsets have the fixed point property for nonexpansive mappings.
Let V be an orthogonal representation of a compact Lie group G and let S(V),D(V) be the unit sphere and disc of V, respectively. If F: V → ℝ is a G-invariant C¹-map then the G-equivariant gradient C⁰-map ∇F: V → V is said to be admissible provided that . We classify the homotopy classes of admissible G-equivariant gradient maps ∇F: (D(V),S(V)) → (V,V∖0).
In this note we provide regularity conditions of closedness type which guarantee some surjectivity results concerning the sum of two maximal monotone operators by using representative functions. The first regularity condition we give guarantees the surjectivity of the monotone operator S(· + p) + T(·), where p ɛ X and S and T are maximal monotone operators on the reflexive Banach space X. Then, this is used to obtain sufficient conditions for the surjectivity of S + T and for the situation when...
We present a new continuous selection theorem, which unifies in some sense two well known selection theorems; namely we prove that if F is an H-upper semicontinuous multivalued map on a separable metric space X, G is a lower semicontinuous multivalued map on X, both F and G take nonconvex -decomposable closed values, the measure space T with a σ-finite measure μ is nonatomic, 1 ≤ p < ∞, is the Bochner-Lebesgue space of functions defined on T with values in a Banach space E, F(x) ∩ G(x) ≠ ∅...
In this paper we first prove some coincidence and fixed point theorems for nonlinear hybrid generalized contractions on metric spaces. Secondly, using the concept of an asymptotically regular sequence, we give some fixed point theorems for Kannan type multi-valued mappings on metric spaces. Our main results improve and extend several known results proved by other authors.
Generalized and unified versions of coincidence or maximal element theorems of Fan, Yannelis and Prabhakar, Ha, Sessa, Tarafdar, Rim and Kim, Mehta and Sessa, Kim and Tan are obtained. Our arguments are based on our recent works on a broad class of multifunctions containing composites of acyclic maps defined on convex subsets of Hausdorff topological vector spaces.
