Approximating solutions of Hammerstein type equations in Banach spaces

Abstract

Let X be a real Banach space and X^? be its dual. Let F: X → X^? and K: X^? → X be Lipschitz monotone mappings. In this paper an explicit iterative scheme is constructed for approximating solutions of the Hammerstein type equation, 0 = u + KF u, when they exist. Strong convergence of the scheme is obtained under appropriate conditions. Our results improve and unify many of the results in the literature.     

Fixed point for set-valued mappings satisfying an implicit relation in partially ordered metric spaces

Let (X,?) be a partially ordered set and d be a complete metric on X. Let F,G be two set-valued mappings on X. We obtained sufficient conditions for the existence of common fixed point of F and G satisfying an implicit relation in partially ordered set X.     

Common fixed point theorems for occasionally weakly compatible mappings under relaxed conditions

In this paper, we obtain some common fixed point theorems for occasionally weakly compatible mappings on a set X together with the function d:X×X→[0,∞) without using the triangle inequality and assuming symmetry only on the set of points of coincidence.     

Zero-pole interpolation for meromophic matrix functions on an algebraic curve and transfer functions of 2D systems

We formulate and solve the problem of constructing a meromorphic bundle map over a compact Riemann surface X having a prescribed zero-pole structure (including directional information). The output bundle together with the zero-pole data is prespecified while the input bundle and the bundle map are to be determined. The Riemann surface X is assumed to be (birationally) embedded as an irreducible algebraic curve in ² and both input and output bundles are assumed to be equal to the kernels of determinantal representations for X. In this setting the solution can be found as the joint transfer function of a Livsic-Kravitsky two-operator commutative vessel (2D input-output dynamical system). Also developed is the basic theory of two-operator commutative vessels and the correct analogue of the transfer function for such a system (a meromorphic bundle map between input and output bundles defined over an algebraic curve associated with the vessel) together with a state space realization, a Mittag-Leffler type interpolation theorem and the state space similarity theorem for such bundle mappings. A more abstract version of the zero-pole interpolation problem is also presented.     

Subsolutions for abstract evolution equations

We study different notions of subsolutions for an abstract evolution equation du/dt+Auf where A is an m-accretive nonlinear operation in an ordered Banach space X with order-preserving resolvents. A first notion is related to the operator d/dt+A in the ordered Banach space L ¹(0, T; X); a second one uses the evolution equation du/dt+A uf where A :x{y;zy for some zAx}; other notions are also considered.     

Krasnosel’skii type fixed point theorems under weak topology features

In this paper we prove the following Krasnosel’skii type fixed point theorem: Let M be a nonempty bounded closed convex subset of a Banach space X. Suppose that A:M→X and B:X→X are two weakly sequentially continuous mappings satisfying:

(i)

AM is relatively weakly compact;

(ii)

B is a strict contraction;

(iii)

.

Then A+B has at least one fixed point in M.This result is then used to obtain some new fixed point theorems for the sum of a weakly compact and a nonexpansive mapping. The results presented in this paper encompass several earlier ones in the literature.     

Leggett-Williams norm-type theorems for coincidences

We study the existence of positive solutions to the operator equation Lx = Nx, where L is a linear Fredholm mapping of index zero and N is a nonlinear operator. Using the properties of cones in Banach spaces and Leray-Schauder degree for completely continuous operators, k-set contractions and condensing mappings, we obtain some refinements of the results established in [3] and [14].

Weak and strong convergence theorems for nonspreading-type mappings in Hilbert spaces

Weak and strong convergence theorems are proved in real Hilbert spaces for a new class of nonspreading-type mappings more general than the class studied recently in Kurokawa and Takahashi [Y. Kurokawa, W. Takahashi, Weak and strong convergence theorems for nonspreading mappings in Hilbert spaces, Nonlinear Anal. 73 (2010) 1562-1568]. We explored an auxiliary mapping in our theorems and proofs and this also yielded a strong convergence theorem of Halpern’s type for our class of mappings and hence resolved in the affirmative an open problem posed by Kurokawa and Takahashi in their final remark for the case where the mapping T is averaged.     

Convergence of Ishikawa’s iteration method for pseudocontractive mappings

Let C be a nonempty, closed and convex subset of a real Hilbert space H. Let T_i:C→C,i=1,2,…,N, be a finite family of Lipschitz pseudocontractive mappings. It is our purpose, in this paper, to prove strong convergence of Ishikawa’s method to a common fixed point of a finite family of Lipschitz pseudocontractive mappings provided that the interior of the common fixed points is nonempty. No compactness assumption is imposed either on T or on C. Moreover, computation of the closed convex set C_n for each n≥1 is not required. The results obtained in this paper improve on most of the results that have been proved for this class of nonlinear mappings.     

Strong convergence theorems for finitely many nonexpansive mappings and applications

Let E$E$ be a uniformly convex Banach space which satisfies Opial’s condition or whose norm is Fréchet differentiable. Recently, Takahashi and Shimoji [W. Takahashi, K. Shimoji, Convergence theorems for nonexpansive mappings and feasibility problems, Math. Comput. Modelling 32 (2000) 1463–1471] introduced an iterative scheme given by finitely many nonexpansive mappings in E$E$ and proved weak convergence theorems which are connected with the problem of image recovery. In this paper we introduce a new iterative scheme which includes their iterative scheme as a special case. Under the assumption that E$E$ is a reflexive Banach space whose norm is uniformly Gâteaux differentiable and which has a weakly continuous duality mapping, we prove strong convergence theorems which are connected with the problem of image recovery. Using the established results, we consider the problem of finding a common fixed point of finitely many nonexpansive mappings.     

Modulus Semigroups and Perturbation Classes for Linear Delay Equations in <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript>

In this paper we study C₀-semigroups on X × L_p( − h, 0; X) associated with linear differential equations with delay, where X is a Banach space. In the case that X is a Banach lattice with order continuous norm, we describe the associated modulus semigroup, under minimal assumptions on the delay operator. Moreover, we present a new class of delay operators for which the delay equation is well-posed for p in a subinterval of [1,∞). Dedicated to the memory of H. H. Schaefer     

A new topological degree theory for perturbations of the sum of two maximal monotone operators

Let X be an infinite dimensional real reflexive Banach space with dual space X^∗ and G⊂X, open and bounded. Assume that X and X^∗ are locally uniformly convex. Let T:X⊃D(T)→2^X∗ be maximal monotone and strongly quasibounded, S:X⊃D(S)→X^∗ maximal monotone, and C:X⊃D(C)→X^∗ strongly quasibounded w.r.t. S and such that it satisfies a generalized (S₊)-condition w.r.t. S. Assume that D(S)=L⊂D(T)∩D(C), where L is a dense subspace of X, and 0∈T(0),S(0)=0. A new topological degree theory is introduced for the sum T+S+C, with degree mapping d(T+S+C,G,0). The reason for this development is the creation of a useful tool for the study of a class of time-dependent problems involving three operators. This degree theory is based on a degree theory that was recently developed by Kartsatos and Skrypnik just for the single-valued sum S+C, as above.     

Sequences in the range of a vector measure and Banach spaces satisfying Π1(X,l 1) = Π2(X,l 1)

If X is a Banach space such that Π₁(X,l ₁) = Π₂ (X, l ₁), we prove the following results: 1) A bounded sequence (x _n ) lies inside the range of some X-valued measure if and only if the operator (α _n ) ? l ₁ → Σ _n α _n x _n ? X is 1-summing, and 2) If A is a bounded subset of X lying in the range of some X ^??-valued measure, then A is necessarily contained in the range of some X-valued measure.

Approximation of common fixed points for a countable family of relatively nonexpansive mappings in a Banach space and applications

In this paper, we prove a strong convergence theorem by the hybrid method for a countable family of relatively nonexpansive mappings in a Banach space. We also establish a new control condition for the sequence of mappings {T_n} which is weaker than the control condition in Lemma 3.1 of Aoyama et al. [K. Aoyama, Y. Kimura, W. Takahashi and M. Toyoda, Approximation of common fixed points of a countable family of nonexpansive mappings in a Banach space, Nonlinear Anal. 67 (2007) 2350-2360]. Moreover, we apply our results for finding a common fixed point of two relatively nonexpansive mappings in a Banach space and an element of the set of solutions of an equilibrium problem in a Banach space, respectively. Our results are applicable to a wide class of mappings.     

Topological degree theory for multi-valued mappings of class (S +) L

In this paper, we introduce the multi-valued mapping of class (S₊)_L in reflexive Banach spaces, which is a generalization of the single valued mapping of class (S₊)_L in [9], then we construct a degree theory for multi-valued mappings of class (S₊)_L.Received: 28 November 2003; revised: 30 July 2004     

Nadler’s type principle with high order of convergence

Recently Proinov [P.D. Proinov, A generalization of the Banach contraction principle with high order of convergence of successive approximations, Nonlinear Analysis (2006), doi:10.1016/j.na.2006.09.008] generalized Banach contraction principle with high order of convergence. We extend some results of Proinov to the case of multi-valued maps from a complete metric space X$X$ into the space of all nonempty proximinal closed subsets of X$X$. Our results not only generalize Nadler’s fixed-point theorem (in the case when T$T$ is a mapping from a complete metric space X$X$ into the space of all nonempty proximinal closed subsets of X$X$) but also gives high order of convergence. As an application, we obtain an existence theorem for first-order initial value problem.     

Continuous extension operators and convexity

Given a nonempty closed subset A of a Hilbert space X, we denote by L(A) the space of all bounded Lipschitz mappings from A into X, equipped with the supremum norm. We show that there is a continuous mapping F_c:L(A)?L(X) such that for each g∈L(A), F_c(g)|_A=g, , and . We also prove that the corresponding set-valued extension operator is lower semicontinuous.     

Elliptic problems with lack of compactness via a new fixed point theorem

This paper provides a new fixed point theorem for increasing self-mappings G:B→B of a closed ball B⊂X, where X is a Banach semilattice which is reflexive or has a weakly fully regular order cone X₊. By means of this fixed point theorem, we are able to establish existence results of elliptic problems with lack of compactness.     

Ranges of densely defined generalized pseudomonotone perturbations of maximal monotone operators

Let X be a real reflexive Banach space and be maximal monotone. Let be quasibounded, finitely continuous and generalized pseudomonotone with X′⊂D(B), where X′ is a dense subspace of X such that X′∩D(A)≠∅. Let S⊂X∗. Conditions are given under which and intS⊂intR(A+B). Results of Browder concerning everywhere defined continuous and bounded operators B are improved. Extensions of this theory are also given using the degree theory of the last two authors concerning densely defined perturbations of nonlinear maximal monotone operators which satisfy a generalized (S₊)-condition. Applications of this extended theory are given involving nonlinear parabolic problems on cylindrical domains.
