A la recherche du spectre perdu: An invitation to nonlinear spectral theory

Appell, Jürgen (2003)

Nonlinear Analysis, Function Spaces and Applications

We give a survey on spectra for various classes of nonlinear operators, with a particular emphasis on a comparison of their advantages and drawbacks. Here the most useful spectra are the asymptotic spectrum by M. Furi, M. Martelli and A. Vignoli (1978), the global spectrum by W. Feng (1997), and the local spectrum (called “phantom”) by P. Santucci and M. Väth (2000). In the last part we discuss these spectra for homogeneous operators (of any degree), and derive a discreteness result and a nonlinear...

A linear condition determining local or global existence for nonlinear problems

John Neuberger, John Neuberger, James Swift (2013)

Open Mathematics

Given a nonlinear autonomous system of ordinary or partial differential equations that has at least local existence and uniqueness, we offer a linear condition which is necessary and sufficient for existence to be global. This paper is largely concerned with numerically testing this condition. For larger systems, principals of computations are clear but actual implementation poses considerable challenges. We give examples for smaller systems and discuss challenges related to larger systems. This...

A minimax inequality with applications to existence of equilibrium point and fixed point theorems

Xie Ding, Kok-Keong Tan (1992)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Ky Fan’s minimax inequality [8, Theorem 1] has become a versatile tool in nonlinear and convex analysis. In this paper, we shall first obtain a minimax inequality which generalizes those generalizations of Ky Fan’s minimax inequality due to Allen [1], Yen [18], Tan [16], Bae Kim Tan [3] and Fan himself [9]. Several equivalent forms are then formulated and one of them, the maximal element version, is used to obtain a fixed point theorem which in turn is applied to obtain an existence theorem of an...

A modulus for property (β) of Rolewicz

J. Ayerbe, T. Domínguez Benavides, S. Cutillas (1997)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We define a modulus for the property (β) of Rolewicz and study some useful properties in fixed point theory for nonexpansive mappings. Moreover, we calculate this modulus in l p spaces for the main measures of noncompactness.
