Generalized quasi-variational-like hemivariational inequalities

In this paper, we introduce and study a new class of generalized quasi-variational-like hemivariational inequalities with multi-valued η$\eta$-pseudomonotone operators in Banach spaces. Some new existence theorems of solutions for this class of generalized quasi-variational-like hemivariational inequalities are proved. The results presented in this paper generalize and extend some known results.     

Two strong convergence theorems for Bregman strongly nonexpansive operators in reflexive Banach spaces

We study the convergence of two iterative algorithms for finding common fixed points of finitely many Bregman strongly nonexpansive operators in reflexive Banach spaces. Both algorithms take into account possible computational errors. We establish two strong convergence theorems and then apply them to the solution of convex feasibility, variational inequality and equilibrium problems.     

Strong convergence theorems for monotone mappings and relatively weak nonexpansive mappings

In this paper, we prove strong convergence theorems to a zero of monotone mapping and a fixed point of relatively weak nonexpansive mapping. Moreover, strong convergence theorems to a point which is a fixed point of relatively weak nonexpansive mapping and a solution of a certain variational problem are proved under appropriate conditions.     

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.     

Tauberian conditions for w-almost convergent double sequences

In this paper, we introduce the concept of w-almost convergent sequences. Such a definition is a weak form of almost convergent sequences given by G. G. Lorentz in [Acta Math. 80(1948),167-190]. We give a detailed study on w-almost convergent double sequences and prove that w-almost convergence and almost convergence are equivalent under the boundedness of the given sequence. The Tauberian results for w-almost convergence are established. Our Tauberian results generalize a result of Lorentz and Tauber’s second theorem. Moreover, we prove that w-almost convergence and norm convergence are equivalent for the sequence of the rectangular partial sums of the Fourier series of f ∈ L^p(T²), where 1 < p < ∞.      

Strong convergence theorems for a family of quasi-asymptotic pseudo-contractions in Hilbert spaces

In the present paper, we propose two kinds of new algorithms for a family of quasi-asymptotic pseudo-contractions in real Hilbert spaces. By using the proposed algorithms, we prove several strong convergence theorems for a family of quasi-asymptotic pseudo-contractions. The results of this paper are interesting extensions of those known results.     

Distributional versions of littlewood’s Tauberian theorem

We provide several general versions of Littlewood’s Tauberian theorem. These versions are applicable to Laplace transforms of Schwartz distributions. We employ two types of Tauberian hypotheses; the first kind involves distributional boundedness, while the second type imposes a one-sided assumption on the Cesàro behavior of the distribution. We apply these Tauberian results to deduce a number of Tauberian theorems for power series and Stieltjes integrals where Cesàro summability follows from Abel summability. We also use our general results to give a new simple proof of the classical Littlewood one-sided Tauberian theorem for power series.     

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.     

Application of a Tauberian theorem to finite model theory

An extension of a Tauberian theorem of Hardy and Littlewood is proved. It is used to show that, for classes of finite models satisfying certain combinatorial and growth properties, Cesàro probabilities (limits of average probabilities over second order sentences) exist. Examples of such classes include the class of unary functions and the class of partial unary functions. It is conjectured that the result holds for the usual notion of asymptotic probability as well as Cesàro probability. Evidence in support of the conjecture is presented.     

Some Special Tauberian Theorems for Fourier Type Integrals and Eigenfunction Expansions of Sturm-Liouville Equations on the Whole Line

We offer a new proof of a special Tauberian theorem for Fourier type integrals. This Tauberian theorem was already considered by us in the papers [1] and [2]. The idea of our initial proof was simple, but the details were complicated because we used Bochner's definition of generalized Fourier transform for functions of polynomial growth. In the present paper we work with L. Schwartz's generalization. This leads to significant simplification. The paper consists of six sections. In Section 1 we establish an integral representation of functions of polynomial growth (subjected to some Tauberian conditions), in Section 2 we prove our main Tauberian theorems (Theorems 2.1 and 2.2.), using the integral representation of Section 1, in Section 3 we study the asymptotic behavior of M. Riesz's means of functions of polynomial growth, in Sections 4 and 5 we apply our Tauberian theorems to the problem of equiconvergence of eigenfunction expansions of Sturm-Liouville equations and expansion in ordinary Fourier integrals, and in Section 6 we compare our general equiconvergence theorems of Sections 4 and 5 with the well known theorems on eigenfunction expansions in classical orthogonal polynomials. In some sense this paper is a re-made survey of our results obtained during the period 1953-58. Another proof of our Tauberian theorem and some generalization can be found in the papers [3] and [4].

Weyl’s Theorems for Some Classes of Operators

We introduce the class of operators on Banach spaces having property (H) and study Weyl’s theorems, and related results for operators which satisfy this property. We show that a- Weyl’s theorem holds for every decomposable operator having property (H). We also show that a-Weyl’s theorem holds for every multiplier T of a commutative semi-simple regular Tauberian Banach algebra. In particular every convolution operator T_μ of a group algebra L¹(G), G a locally compact abelian group, satisfies a-Weyl’s theorem. Similar results are given for multipliers of other important commutative Banach algebras.

Tauberian Theorem of Erdős Revisited

Dedicated to the memory of Paul Erdős In connection with the elementary proof of the prime number theorem, Erdős obtained a striking quadratic Tauberian theorem for sequences. Somewhat later, Siegel indicated in a letter how a powerful "fundamental relation" could be used to simplify the difficult combinatorial proof. Here the author presents his version of the (unpublished) Erdős–Siegel proof. Related Tauberian results by the author are described. Received December 20, 1999     

Convergence theorems and Tauberian theorems for functions and sequences in Banach spaces and Banach lattices

We prove generalized convergence theorems and Tauberian theorems for vector-valued functions and sequences of growth order γ − 1 with γ > 0 and for positive functions and sequences in Banach lattices. Then the general results are applied to obtain some interesting particular Tauberian results for various examples of operator semigroups. Among them are mean ergodic theorems for Cesàro-mean-bounded semigroups (discrete and continuous) of operators and for semigroups of positive operators.

Tauberian theorems for weighted means of double sequences

We discuss the relations between weighted mean methods and ordinary convergence for double sequences. In particular, we study Tauberian theorems also for methods not being products of the related one-dimensional summability methods. For the special case of theC _1,1-method, the results contain a classical Tauberian theorem by Knopp [9] as special case and generalize theorems given by Móricz [16] thereby showing that one of his Tauberian conditions can be weakened.     

Ratio limit theorems and Tauberian theorems for vector-valued functions and sequences

We prove ratio limit theorems for (C,γ)-means (γ?0) and Abel means of functions and sequences in Banach spaces, and ratio Tauberian theorems for (C,γ)-means (γ?1) and Abel means of functions and sequences in Banach lattices.     

On a nonlinear hyperbolic problem arising in two-phase flows in naturally fractured reservoirs

A system of two first-order quasilinear equations consisting of one nonhomogenous hyperbolic conservation law and an ordinary differential equation is investigated in two spatial dimensions. The initial boundary-value problem is solved for the system and existence, uniqueness, and stability theorems are proved. We also obtain a result on the behavior of the solution when time goes to infinity which agrees with practical experience. These results offer mathematical validation to computer models in current usage for the numerical simulation of multiphase flow in naturally fractured reservoirs.     

Maximum theorems with strict quasi-concavity and applications

In this paper, we first prove the strict quasi-concavity of maximizing functions, and next, using a generalization of the KKM theorem, we prove two maximum theorems without assuming the upper semicontinuity. As an application, using a common fixed point theorem, the existence theorem of social equilibrium is obtained. Finally, we shall give two illustrative examples of systems of constrained optimization problems.     

Positive one-parameter semigroups on ordered banach spaces

In this review we describe the basic structure of positive continuous one-parameter semigroups acting on ordered Banach spaces. The review is in two parts.First we discuss the general structure of ordered Banach spaces and their ordered duals. We examine normality and generation properties of the cones of positive elements with particular emphasis on monotone properties of the norm. The special cases of Banach lattices, order-unit spaces, and base-norm spaces, are also examined.Second we develop the theory of positive strongly continuous semigroups on ordered Banach spaces, and positive weak^*-continuous semigroups on the dual spaces. Initially we derive analogues of the Feller-Miyadera-Phillips and Hille-Yosida theorems on generation of positive semigroups. Subsequently we analyse strict positivity, irreducibility, and spectral properties, in parallel with the Perron-Frobenius theory of positive matrices.
