A hybrid steepest-descent method for variational inequalities in Hilbert spaces

A Mann-type hybrid steepest-descent method for solving the variational inequality ?F(u*), v ? u*? ≥ 0, v ∈ C is proposed, where F is a Lipschitzian and strong monotone operator in a real Hilbert space H and C is the intersection of the fixed point sets of finitely many non-expansive mappings in H. This method combines the well-known Mann's fixed point method with the hybrid steepest-descent method. Strong convergence theorems for this method are established, which extend and improve certain corresponding results in recent literature, for instance, Yamada (The hybrid steepest-descent method for variational inequality problems over the intersection of the fixed-point sets of nonexpansive mappings, in Inherently Parallel Algorithms in Feasibility and Optimization and Their Applications, D. Butnariu, Y. Censor, and S. Reich, eds., North-Holland, Amsterdam, Holland, 2001, pp. 473–504), Xu and Kim (Convergence of hybrid steepest-descent methods for variational inequalities, J. Optim. Theor. Appl. 119 (2003), pp. 185–201), and Zeng, Wong and Yao (Convergence analysis of modified hybrid steepest-descent methods with variable parameters for variational inequalities, J. Optim. Theor. Appl. 132 (2007), pp. 51–69).     

Norm of the Hilbert matrix on Bergman and Hardy spaces and a theorem of Nehari type

The Hilbert matrix induces a bounded operator on most Hardy and Bergman spaces, as was shown by Diamantopoulos and Siskakis. We generalize this for any Hankel operator on Hardy spaces by using a result of Hollenbeck and Verbitsky on the Riesz projection and also compute the exact value of the norm of the Hilbert matrix. Using a new technique, we determine the norm of the Hilbert matrix on a wide range of Bergman spaces.     

A Quantitative Version of the Bishop–Phelps Theorem for Operators in Hilbert Spaces

In this paper, with the help of spectral integral, we show a quantitative version of the Bishop-Phelps theorem for operators in complex Hilbert spaces. Precisely, let H be a complex Hilbert space and 0 ε 1/2. Then for every bounded linear operator T : H → H and x0 ∈ H with ||T|| = 1 = ||x0|| such that ||Tx0|| 1 ε, there exist xε∈ H and a bounded linear operator S : H → H with||S|| = 1 = ||xε|| such that ||Sxε|| = 1, ||xε-x0|| ≤ (2ε)1/2 + 4(2ε)1/2, ||S-T|| ≤(2ε)1/2.     

Adjoints of composition operators on Hilbert spaces of analytic functions

We observe that a formula for the adjoint of a composition operator, known only for special symbols in some spaces of analytic functions, actually holds for every admissible symbol and in any Hilbert space of analytic functions with reproducing kernels. Along with some new results, all known formulas for the adjoint obtained so far follow easily as a consequence, some in an improved form.

Haar wavelet operational matrix of fractional order integration and its applications in solving the fractional order differential equations

Haar wavelet operational matrix has been widely applied in system analysis, system identification, optimal control and numerical solution of integral and differential equations. In the present paper we derive the Haar wavelet operational matrix of the fractional order integration, and use it to solve the fractional order differential equations including the Bagley-Torvik, Ricatti and composite fractional oscillation equations. The results obtained are in good agreement with the existing ones in open literatures and it is shown that the technique introduced here is robust and easy to apply.     

An algorithm based on resolvent operators for solving variational inequalities in Hilbert spaces

In this paper, a new monotonicity, M$M$-monotonicity, is introduced, and the resolvent operator of an M$M$-monotone operator is proved to be single valued and Lipschitz continuous. With the help of the resolvent operator, an equivalence between the variational inequality VI(C,F+G)$(C,F+G)$ and the fixed point problem of a nonexpansive mapping is established. A proximal point algorithm is constructed to solve the fixed point problem, which is proved to have a global convergence under the condition that F$F$ in the VI problem is strongly monotone and Lipschitz continuous. Furthermore, a convergent path Newton method, which is based on the assumption that the projection mapping _∏C(⋅)${\prod }_C(\cdot )$ is semismooth, is given for calculating ε$\epsilon$-solutions to the sequence of fixed point problems, enabling the proximal point algorithm to be implementable.

A general iterative method for equilibrium problems and fixed point problems in Hilbert spaces

In this paper, we introduce two iterative schemes by the general iterative method for finding a common element of the set of an equilibrium problem and the set of fixed points of a nonexpansive mapping in a Hilbert space. Then, we prove two strong convergence theorems for nonexpansive mappings to solve a unique solution of the variational inequality which is the optimality condition for the minimization problem. These results extended and improved the corresponding results of Marino and Xu [G. Marino, H.K. Xu, A general iterative method for nonexpansive mapping in Hilbert spaces, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 318 (2006) 43-52], S. Takahashi and W. Takahashi [S. Takahashi, W. Takahashi, Viscosity approximation methods for equilibrium problems and fixed point problems in Hilbert spaces, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 331 (1) (2007) 506-515], and many others.     

Estimates for norms of resolvents of~operators on tensor products of Hilbert spaces

A class of linear operators on tensor products of Hilbert spaces is considered. That class contains integro-differential operators arising in various applications. Estimates for the norm of the resolvent of considered operators are derived. By virtue of the obtained estimates, the spectrum of perturbed operators is investigated. These results are new even in the finite-dimensional case. Applications to integro-differential operators are also discussed. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

Embedding constants for periodic Sobolev spaces of fractional order

We obtain an explicit expression for the norms of the embedding operators of the periodic Sobolev spaces into the space of continuous functions (the norms of this type are usually called embedding constants). The corresponding formulas for the embedding constants express them in terms of the values of the well-known Epstein zeta function which depends on the smoothness exponent s of the spaces under study and the dimension n of the space of independent variables. We establish that the embeddings under consideration have the embedding functions coinciding up to an additive constant and a scalar factor with the values of the corresponding Epstein zeta function. We find the asymptotics of the embedding constants as s → n/2.     

Chaos synchronization for a class of nonlinear oscillators with fractional order

In this paper, a special kind of nonlinear chaotic oscillator, the Qi oscillator, is studied in detail. Since such systems are shown to possess a relatively wide spectral bandwidth, it is considerably beneficial to practical engineering in the secure communication field. The chaos synchronization problem of the fractional-order Qi oscillators coupled in a master-slave pattern is examined by applying three different kinds of methods: the nonlinear feedback method, the one-way coupling method and the method based on the state observer. Suitable synchronization conditions are derived by using the Lyapunov stability theory, and most importantly, a sufficient and necessary synchronization condition for the case with fractional order between 1 and 2 is presented. Results of numerical simulations validate the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed schemes.     

Limitations of frequency domain approximation for detecting chaos in fractional order systems

In this paper, we analytically study the influences of using frequency domain approximation in numerical simulations of fractional order systems. The number and location of equilibria, and also the stability of these points, are compared between the original system and its frequency based approximated counterpart. It is shown that the original system and its approximation are not necessarily equivalent according to the number, location and stability of the fixed points. This problem can cause erroneous results in special cases. For instance, to prove the existence of chaos in fractional order systems, numerical simulations have been largely based on frequency domain approximations, but in this paper we show that this method is not always reliable for detecting chaos. This approximation can numerically demonstrate chaos in the non-chaotic fractional order systems, or eliminate chaotic behavior from a chaotic fractional order system.     

Symmetric approximation of frames and bases in Hilbert spaces

We introduce the symmetric approximation of frames by normalized tight frames extending the concept of the symmetric orthogonalization of bases by orthonormal bases in Hilbert spaces. We prove existence and uniqueness results for the symmetric approximation of frames by normalized tight frames. Even in the case of the symmetric orthogonalization of bases, our techniques and results are new. A crucial role is played by whether or not a certain operator related to the initial frame or basis is Hilbert-Schmidt.

     

The difference between a class of discrete fractional and integer order boundary value problems

In this paper, we point out the differences between a class of fractional difference equations and the integer-order ones. We show that under the same boundary conditions, the problem of the fractional order is nonresonant, while the integer-order one is resonant. Then we analyse the discrete fractional boundary value problem in detail. Then the uniqueness and multiplicity of the solutions for the discrete fractional boundary value problem are obtained by two new tools established in 2012, respectively.
