On the structure of the set of solutions of a functional equation with applications to boundary value problems
In the present paper, we give the lower estimation for the topological dimension of the fixed points set of a condensing continuous multimap in a Banach space. The abstract result is applied to the fixed point set of the multioperator of the form where is the superposition multioperator generated by the Carathéodory type multifunction F and S is the shift of a linear injective operator. We present sufficient conditions under which this set has the infinite topological dimension. In the last...
We propose a theoretical framework for solving a class of worst scenario problems. The existence of the worst scenario is proved through the convergence of a sequence of approximate worst scenarios. The main convergence theorem modifies and corrects the relevant results already published in literature. The theoretical framework is applied to a particular problem with an uncertain boundary value problem for a nonlinear ordinary differential equation with an uncertain coefficient.
We apply a theoretical framework for solving a class of worst scenario problems to a problem with a nonlinear partial differential equation. In contrast to the one-dimensional problem investigated by P. Harasim in Appl. Math. 53 (2008), No. 6, 583–598, the two-dimensional problem requires stronger assumptions restricting the admissible set to ensure the monotonicity of the nonlinear operator in the examined state problem, and, as a result, to show the existence and uniqueness of the state solution....
