A note on Ascol's theorem for spaces of multifunctions.
The proofs of Theorems 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 from [Olatinwo M.O., Some results on multi-valued weakly jungck mappings in b-metric space, Cent. Eur. J. Math., 2008, 6(4), 610–621] base on faulty evaluations. We give here correct but weaker versions of these theorems.
For a multivalued map between topological spaces, the upper semifinite topology on the power set is such that is upper semicontinuous if and only if it is continuous when viewed as a singlevalued map . In this paper, we seek a result like this from a reverse viewpoint, namely, given a set and a topology on , we consider a natural topology on , constructed from satisfying if , and we give necessary and sufficient conditions to the upper semicontinuity of a multivalued map ...
We discuss a variational problem defined on couples of functions that are constrained to take values into the 2-dimensional unit sphere. The energy functional contains, besides standard Dirichlet energies, a non-local interaction term that depends on the distance between the gradients of the two functions. Different gradients are preferred or penalized in this model, in dependence of the sign of the interaction term. In this paper we study the lower semicontinuity and the coercivity of the energy...
We obtain generalizations of the Fan's matching theorem for an open (or closed) covering related to an admissible map. Each of these is restated as a KKM theorem. Finally, applications concerning coincidence theorems and section results are given.
