An iterative algorithm based on -proximal mappings for a system of generalized implicit variational inclusions in Banach spaces

In this paper, we give the notion of M-proximal mapping, an extension of P-proximal mapping given in [X.P. Ding, F.Q. Xia, A new class of completely generalized quasi-variational inclusions in Banach spaces, J. Comput. Appl. Math. 147 (2002) 369–383], for a nonconvex, proper, lower semicontinuous and subdifferentiable functional on Banach space and prove its existence and Lipschitz continuity. Further, we consider a system of generalized implicit variational inclusions in Banach spaces and show its equivalence with a system of implicit Wiener–Hopf equations using the concept of M-proximal mappings. Using this equivalence, we propose a new iterative algorithm for the system of generalized implicit variational inclusions. Furthermore, we prove the existence of solution of the system of generalized implicit variational inclusions and discuss the convergence and stability analysis of the iterative algorithm.     

Algorithm for solving a new class of general mixed variational inequalities in Banach spaces

In this paper, a new concept of η-proximal mapping for a proper subdifferentiable functional (which may not be convex) on a Banach space is introduced. An existence and Lipschitz continuity of the η-proximal mapping are proved. By using properties of the η-proximal mapping, a new class of general mixed variational inequalities is introduced and studied in Banach spaces. An existence theorem of solutions is established and a new iterative algorithm for solving the general mixed variational inequality is suggested. A convergence criteria of the iterative sequence generated by the new algorithm is also given.     

The p-step iterative algorithm for a system of generalized mixed quasi-variational inclusions with -accretive operators in q-uniformly smooth banach spaces

In this paper, we introduce and study a new system of generalized mixed quasi-variational inclusions with (A,η)-accretive operators in q-uniformly smooth Banach spaces. By using the resolvent operator technique associated with (A,η)-accretive operators, we construct a new p-step iterative algorithm for solving this system of generalized mixed quasi-variational inclusions in real q-uniformly smooth Banach spaces. We also prove the existence of solutions for the generalized mixed quasi-variational inclusions and the convergence of iterative sequences generated by algorithm. Our results improve and generalize many known corresponding results.     

The Leray–Schauder approach to the degree theory for -perturbations of maximal monotone operators in separable reflexive Banach spaces

The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the fact that the topological degree theory of Leray and Schauder may be used for the development of the topological degree theory for bounded demicontinuous (S₊)-perturbations f of strongly quasibounded maximal monotone operators T in separable reflexive Banach spaces. Certain basic homotopy properties and the extension of this degree theory to (possibly unbounded) strongly quasibounded perturbations f are shown to hold. This work uses the well known embedding of Browder and Ton, and extends the work of Berkovits who developed this theory for the case T=0. Besides being an interesting mathematical problem, the existence of such a degree theory may, conceivably, become useful in situations where the use of the Leray–Schauder degree (via infinite dimensional compactness) is necessary.     

System of generalized variational inclusions with -accretive operators in uniformly smooth Banach spaces

In this paper, we consider and study a system of generalized variational inclusions with H-accretive operators in uniformly smooth Banach spaces. We prove the convergence of iterative algorithm for this system of generalized variational inclusions. A new definition of H-resolvent operator as a retraction is introduced, and in support of the definition, we have constructed an example and a numerical example through Matlab programming. Some special cases are also discussed.     

On Banach spaces whose norm-open sets are -sets in the weak topology

We investigate non-separable Banach spaces whose norm-open sets are countable unions of sets closed in the weak topology and a narrower class of Banach spaces with a network for the norm topology which is σ-discrete in the weak topology. In particular, we answer a question of Arhangel'skii exhibiting various examples of non-separable function spaces C(K) with a σ-discrete network for the pointwise topology and (consistently) we answer some questions of Edgar and Oncina concerning Borel structures and Kadec renormings in Banach spaces.     

Stability for parametric implicit vector equilibrium problems

In this paper, we consider a class of parametric implicit vector equilibrium problems in Hausdorff topological vector spaces where a mapping f and a set K are perturbed by parameters and λ, respectively. We establish sufficient conditions for the upper semicontinuity and lower semicontinuity of the solution set mapping S:Λ₁×Λ₂→2^X for such parametric implicit vector equilibrium problems.     

Optimality and invexity in optimization problems in Banach algebras (spaces)

In this paper we introduce into nonsmooth optimization theory in Banach algebras a new class of mathematical programming problems, which generalizes the notion of smooth KT-(p,r)-invexity. In fact, this paper focuses on the optimality conditions for optimization problems in Banach algebras, regarding the generalized KT-(p,r)-invexity notion and Kuhn–Tucker points.     

Existence results for -point boundary value problem of second order ordinary differential equations

This study concerns the existence of positive solutions to the boundary value problemwhere ξ_i(0,1) with 0<ξ₁<ξ₂<<ξ_n-2<1, a_i, b_i[0,∞) with and . By applying the Krasnoselskii's fixed-point theorem in Banach spaces, some sufficient conditions guaranteeing the existence of at least one positive solution or at least two positive solutions are established for the above general n-point boundary value problem.     

The well-posedness and stability of a repairable standby human–machine system

In this paper, the solution of a standby human–machine system is investigated. By using the method of functional analysis, especially, the linear operator theory and the C₀ semigroup theory on Banach space, we prove the well-posedness and the existence of a positive solution of the system. And under some appropriate hypotheses, we study the asymptotic stability of solution of the system.     

Convergence theorems for equilibrium problem, variational inequality problem and countably infinite relatively quasi-nonexpansive mappings

In this paper, we introduce an iterative process which converges strongly to a common element of set of common fixed points of countably infinite family of closed relatively quasi- nonexpansive mappings, the solution set of generalized equilibrium problem and the solution set of the variational inequality problem for a γ-inverse strongly monotone mapping in Banach spaces. Our theorems improve, generalize, unify and extend several results recently announced.     

Best simultaneous approximations, asymptotically nonexpansive mappings and variational inequalities in Banach spaces

The existence of common fixed points is established for three mappings where T is either generalized (f,g)-nonexpansive or asymptotically (f,g)-nonexpansive on a nonempty subset of a Banach space. As applications, the invariant best simultaneous approximation results are proved and the existence of solution of variational inequalities is obtained. Our results unify and substantially improve several recent results existing in the current literature.     

On the modulus of -convexity

In this paper, we prove that the moduli of W^*-convexity, introduced by Ji Gao [J. Gao, The W^*-convexity and normal structure in Banach spaces, Appl. Math. Lett. 17 (2004) 1381–1386], of a Banach space X and of the ultrapower of X itself coincide whenever X is super-reflexive. Moreover, we improve a sufficient condition for uniform normal structure of the space and its dual. This generalizes and strengthens the main results of [J. Gao, The W^*-convexity and normal structure in Banach spaces, Appl. Math. Lett. 17 (2004) 1381–1386].     

Infinitely many non-negative solutions for a Dirichlet problem involving -Laplacian

In this paper, we consider a Dirichlet problem involving the p(x)-Laplacian of the type

We prove the existence of infinitely many non-negative solutions of the problem by applying a general variational principle due to B. Ricceri and the theory of the variable exponent Sobolev spaces.     

Growth conditions, compact perturbations and operator subdecomposability, with applications to generalized Cesàro operators

We adapt recent results of Albrecht and Ricker to obtain conditions under which growth constraints on the left resolvent of a Banach space operator are preserved under suitable perturbations. As an application, we establish Bishop's property (β) for certain generalized Cesàro operators on the classical Hardy spaces Hp, 1<p<∞. Our methods also apply to unilateral weighted shifts whose weight sequence converges sufficiently rapidly as well as to perturbations of restrictions of a class of generalized scalar operators.     

Natural examples of Valdivia compact spaces

We collect examples of Valdivia compact spaces, their continuous images and associated classes of Banach spaces which appear naturally in various branches of mathematics. We focus on topological constructions generating Valdivia compact spaces, linearly ordered compact spaces, compact groups, L¹ spaces, Banach lattices and noncommutative L¹ spaces.     

A new iterative method for equilibrium problems and fixed point problems of infinitely nonexpansive mappings and monotone mappings

In this paper, we introduce a new iterative scheme for finding the common element of the set of common fixed points of infinitely many nonexpansive mappings, the set of solutions of an equilibrium problem and the set of solutions of the variational inequality for α-inverse-strongly monotone mapping in Hilbert spaces. We prove that the sequence converges strongly to a common element of the above three sets under some parameters controlling conditions. This main result improve and extend Plubtieng and Punpaeng’s corresponding result [S. Plubtieng, R. Punpaeng, A new iterative method for equilibrium problems and fixed point problems of nonexpansive mappings and monotone mappings, Applied Mathematics and Computation 197 (2008), 548–558]. Using this theorem, we obtain three corollaries.     

A hybrid approximation method for equilibrium and fixed point problems for a family of infinitely nonexpansive mappings and a monotone mapping

In this paper, we introduce a new iterative scheme for finding a common element of the set of fixed points of a family of infinitely nonexpansive mappings, the set of solutions of an equilibrium problem and the set of solutions of the variational inequality for α-inverse-strongly monotone mapping in the framework of a Hilbert space. Under suitable conditions, some strong convergence theorems for approximating a common element of the above three sets are obtained. Additionally, we utilize our results to study the optimization problem and find a zero of a maximal monotone operator and a strictly pseudocontractive mapping in a real Hilbert space. Our results improve and extend the results announced by many others.     

The convergence of three spline methods for scattered data interpolation and fitting

The convergences of three L₁ spline methods for scattered data interpolation and fitting using bivariate spline spaces are studied in this paper. That is, L₁ interpolatory splines, splines of least absolute deviation, and L₁ smoothing splines are shown to converge to the given data function under some conditions and hence, the surfaces from these three methods will resemble the given data values.
