A duality approach to minimax results for quasi-saddle functions in finite dimensions

In this paper we show how saddle point theorems for a quasiconvex—quasiconcave function can be derived from duality theory. A symmetric duality framework that provides the machinery for deriving saddle point theorems is presented. Generating the theorems,via the framework, provides a deeper understanding of assumptions employed in existing theorems which do not utilize duality theory.     

Perturbation theorems for estimating magnitudes of roots of polynomials

Two additional new theorems are posed and proven to estimate the magnitudes of roots of polynomials. Perturbation theory and the order of magnitude of terms are employed to develop the theorems. The theorems may be useful to estimate the order of magnitudes of the roots of a polynomial a priori before solving the equation. The theorems are developed for two special classes of polynomials of arbitrary order with their coefficients satisfying certain conditions. Numerical applications of the theorems are presented as examples. It is shown that the theorems produce good estimates for the magnitudes of roots.     

Kantorovich-Bernstein polynomials

A gap between saturation and direct-converse theorems for Kantoro-vich-Bernstein polynomials will be closed for a steady rate of convergence. The present theorems unify the above-mentioned results. Furthermore, it is shown that for steady rates our converse results are an improvement on both weak-type converse theorems and strong-weak-type converse theorems for the Kantorovich-Bernstein polynomials.Communicated by George G.

Statistical gap Tauberian theorems in metric spaces

By using the concept of statistical convergence we present statistical Tauberian theorems of gap type for the Cesàro, Euler-Borel family and the Hausdorff families applicable in arbitrary metric spaces. In contrast to the classical gap Tauberian theorems, we show that such theorems exist in the statistical sense for the convolution methods which include the Taylor and the Borel matrix methods. We further provide statistical analogs of the gap Tauberian theorems for the Hausdorff methods and provide an explanation as to how the Tauberian rates over the gaps may differ from those of the classical Tauberian theorems.     

Fixed point and maximal element theorems with applications to abstract economies and minimax inequalities

In this paper, we establish some fixed point theorems for a family of multivalued maps under mild conditions. By using our fixed point theorems, we derive some maximal element theorems for a particular family of multivalued maps, namely the Φ-condensing multivalued maps. As applications of our results, we prove some general equilibrium existence theorems in the generalized abstract economies with preference correspondences. Further applications of our results are also given to minimax inequalities for a family of functions.     

Some Extension Theorems for Regular Functions of Several Quaternionic Variables

In this paper we study the extension theorems for solutions of inhomogeneous Cauchy-Fueter system. In particular cases, we obtain the extension theorems for regular functions of several quaternionic variables. At the end of the paper we give some applications of these theorems.     

Fixed point theorems for better admissible multimaps on almost convex sets

We obtain new fixed point theorems on multimaps in the class Bp defined on almost convex subsets of topological vector spaces. Our main results are applied to deduce various fixed point theorems, coincidence theorems, almost fixed point theorems, intersection theorems, and minimax theorems. Consequently, our new results generalize well-known works of Kakutani, Fan, Browder, Himmelberg, Lassonde, and others.     

Inverse and saturation theorems for radial basis function interpolation

While direct theorems for interpolation with radial basis functions are intensively investigated, little is known about inverse theorems so far. This paper deals with both inverse and saturation theorems. For an inverse theorem we especially show that a function that can be approximated sufficiently fast must belong to the native space of the basis function in use. In case of thin plate spline interpolation we also give certain saturation theorems.

     

Coupled fixed point theorems for nonlinear contractions in partially ordered metric spaces

We introduce the concept of a mixed g-monotone mapping and prove coupled coincidence and coupled common fixed point theorems for such nonlinear contractive mappings in partially ordered complete metric spaces. Presented theorems are generalizations of the recent fixed point theorems due to Bhaskar and Lakshmikantham [T.G. Bhaskar, V. Lakshmikantham, Fixed point theorems in partially ordered metric spaces and applications, Nonlinear Anal. TMA 65 (2006) 1379–1393] and include several recent developments.     

A Note on Sin Θ Theorems for Singular Subspace Variations

New perturbation theorems for bases of singular subspaces are proved. These theorems complement the known sin theorems for singular subspace perturbations, taking into account a kind of sensitivity of singular vectors discarded by previous theorems. Furthermore these results guarantee that high relative accuracy algorithms for the SVD are able to compute reliably simultaneous bases of left and right singular subspaces.     

On general best proximity pairs and equilibrium pairs in free abstract economies

In this paper, using Lassonde’s fixed point theorem for Kakutani factorizable multifunctions and Park’s fixed point theorem for acyclic factorizable multifunctions, we will prove new existence theorems for general best proximity pairs and equilibrium pairs for free abstract economies, which generalize the previous best proximity theorems and equilibrium existence theorems due to Srinivasan and Veeramani [P.S. Srinivasan, P. Veeramani, On best approximation pair theorems and fixed point theorems, Abstr. Appl. Anal. 2003 (1) (2003) 33–47; P.S. Srinivasan, P. Veeramani, On existence of equilibrium pair for constrained generalized games, Fixed Point Theory Appl. 2004 (1) (2004) 21–29], and Kim and Lee [W.K. Kim, K.H. Lee, Existence of best proximity pairs and equilibrium pairs, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 316 (2006) 433–446] in several aspects.     

Approximation theorems for the propagators of higher order abstract Cauchy problems

In this paper, we present two quite general approximation theorems for the propagators of higher order (in time) abstract Cauchy problems, which extend largely the classical Trotter-Kato type approximation theorems for strongly continuous operator semigroups and cosine operator functions. Then, we apply the approximation theorems to deal with the second order dynamical boundary value problems.

     

Plancherel-type estimates and sharp spectral multipliers

We study general spectral multiplier theorems for self-adjoint positive definite operators on L²(X,μ), where X is any open subset of a space of homogeneous type. We show that the sharp Hörmander-type spectral multiplier theorems follow from the appropriate estimates of the L² norm of the kernel of spectral multipliers and the Gaussian bounds for the corresponding heat kernel. The sharp Hörmander-type spectral multiplier theorems are motivated and connected with sharp estimates for the critical exponent for the Riesz means summability, which we also study here. We discuss several examples, which include sharp spectral multiplier theorems for a class of scattering operators on R³ and new spectral multiplier theorems for the Laguerre and Hermite expansions.     

On maximal element theorems,variants of Ekeland’s variational principle and their applications

In this paper, we establish several different versions of generalized Ekeland’s variational principle and maximal element theorem for τ$\tau$-functions in ?$?$ complete metric spaces. The equivalence relations between maximal element theorems, generalized Ekeland’s variational principle, generalized Caristi’s (common) fixed point theorems and nonconvex maximal element theorems for maps are also proved. Moreover, we obtain some applications to a nonconvex minimax theorem, nonconvex vectorial equilibrium theorems and convergence theorems in complete metric spaces.     

Conditions of oscillatory or nonoscillatory nature of solutions for a class of second-order semilinear differential equations

For a class of second-order semilinear differential equations, we prove the theorems on oscillatory or nonoscillatory nature of all proper solutions. These theorems are analogs of the well-known Kneser theorems for linear differential equations. __________ Translated from Ukrains’kyi Matematychnyi Zhurnal, Vol. 59, No. 4, pp. 458–466, April, 2007.     

Nonempty Intersection Theorems and Generalized Multi-objective Games in Product <Emphasis Type="Italic">FC</Emphasis>-Spaces

A new class of generalized multi-objective games is introduced and studied in FC-spaces where the number of players may be finite or infinite, and all payoff are all set-valued mappings and get their values in a topological space. By using an existence theorems of maximal elements for a family of set-valued mappings in product FC-spaces due to author, some new nonempty intersection theorems for a family of set-valued mappings are first proved in FC-spaces. As applications, some existence theorems of weak Pareto equilibria for the generalized multi-objective games are established in noncompact FC-spaces. These theorems improve, unify and generalize the corresponding results in recent literatures.     

Collectively fixed-point theorems in noncompact G-convex spaces

In this paper, by applying the technique of continuous partition of unity and Tychonoff's fixed-point theorem, some new collectively fixed-point theorems for a family of set-valued mappings defined on the product space of noncompact G-convex spaces are proved. Our theorems improve, unify, and generalize many important collectively fixed-point theorems in recent literature.     

Limit theorems for random transformations and processes in random environments

I derive general relativized central limit theorems and laws of iterated logarithm for random transformations both via certain mixing assumptions and via the martingale differences approach. The results are applied to Markov chains in random environments, random subshifts of finite type, and random expanding in average transformations where I show that the conditions of the general theorems are satisfied and so the corresponding (fiberwise) central limit theorems and laws of iterated logarithm hold true in these cases. I consider also a continuous time version of such limit theorems for random suspensions which are continuous time random dynamical systems.

Minimax theorems and cone saddle-point theorems for this class of functions are investigated.The authors would like to thank two anonymous referees for helpful comments.     

Hybrid Moreau’s Proximal Algorithms and Convergence Theorems for Minimization Problems in Hilbert Spaces with Applications

Abstract

In this paper, motivated by Moreau’s proximal algorithm, we give several algorithms and related weak and strong convergence theorems for minimization problems under suitable conditions. These algorithms and convergence theorems are different from the results in the literatures. Besides, we also study algorithms and convergence theorems for the split feasibility problem in real Hilbert spaces. Finally, we give numerical results for our main results.
