Existence and convergence theorems for generalized hybrid mappings in uniformly convex metric spaces

In this paper, we show a relationship between strictly convexity of type (I) and (II) defined by Takahashi and Talman, and we prove that any uniformly convex metric space is strictly convex of type (II). Continuity of the convex structure is also shown on a compact domain. Then, we prove the existence of a minimum point of a convex, lower semicontinuous and d-coercive function defined on a nonempty closed convex subset of a complete uniformly convex metric space. By using this property, we prove fixed point theorems for (α, β)-generalized hybrid mappings in uniformly convex metric spaces. Using this result, we also obtain a common fixed point theorem for a countable commutative family of (α, β)-generalized hybrid mappings in uniformly convex metric spaces. Finally, we establish strong convergence of a Mann type iteration to a fixed point of (α, β)-generalized hybrid mapping in a uniformly convex metric space without assuming continuity of convex structure. Our results can be applied to obtain the existence and convergence theorems for (α, β)-generalized hybrid mappings in Hilbert spaces, uniformly convex Banach spaces and CAT(0) spaces.     

Remarks on Minimal Sets for Cyclic Mappings in Uniformly Convex Banach Spaces

In this article, we prove that every nonempty and convex pair of subsets of uniformly convex in every direction Banach spaces has the proximal normal structure and then we present a best proximity point theorem for cyclic relatively nonexpansive mappings in such spaces. We also study the structure of minimal sets of cyclic relatively nonexpansive mappings and obtain the existence results of best proximity points for cyclic mappings using some new geometric notions on minimal sets. Finally, we prove a best proximity point theorem for a new class of cyclic contraction-type mappings in the setting of uniformly convex Banach spaces and so, we improve the main conclusions of Eldred and Veeramani.     

Uniformly convex spaces,bead spaces,and equivalence conditions

The notion of a metric bead space was introduced in the preceding paper (L.Pasicki: Bead spaces and fixed point theorems, Topology Appl., vol. 156 (2009), 1811–1816) and it was proved there that every bounded set in such a space (provided the space is complete) has a unique central point. The bead spaces themselves can be considered in particular as natural extensions of convex sets in uniformly convex spaces. It appears that normed bead spaces are identical with uniformly convex spaces. On the other hand the “metric” approach leads to new elementary conditions equivalent to the uniform convexity. The initial part of the paper contains the proof that discus spaces (they seem to have a richer structure) are identical with bead spaces.     

On convexity properties of ψ-direct sums of Banach spaces

The ψ-direct sum of Banach spaces is strictly convex (respectively, uniformly convex, locally uniformly convex, uniformly convex in every direction) if each of the Banach spaces are strictly convex (respectively, uniformly convex, locally uniformly convex, uniformly convex in every direction) and the corresponding ψ-norm is strictly convex.     

Locally uniformly rotund points in convex-transitive Banach spaces

Almost transitive superreflexive Banach spaces have been considered in [C. Finet, Uniform convexity properties of norms on superreflexive Banach spaces, Israel J. Math. 53 (1986) 81–92], where it is shown that they are uniformly convex and uniformly smooth. We characterize such spaces as those convex transitive Banach spaces satisfying conditions much weaker than that of uniform convexity (for example, that of having a weakly locally uniformly rotund point). We note that, in general, the property of convex transitivity for a Banach space is weaker than that of almost transitivity.     

局部凸空间的k-一致极凸性与k-一致极光滑性

首先引入局部凸空间的k-一致极凸性和k-一致极光滑性这一对对偶概念,它们既是Banach空间k-一致极凸性和k-一致极光滑性推广,又是局部凸空间一致极凸性和一致极光滑性的自然推广.其次讨论它们与其它k-凸性(k-光滑性)之间的关系.最后,在P-自反的条件下给出它们之间的等价对偶定理.     

Generalized projections, decompositions, and the Pythagorean-type theorem in Banach spaces

In this paper, we investigate new properties of the generalized projection operators on convex closed cones in uniformly convex and uniformly smooth Banach spaces; establish decompositions theorems for arbitrary elements both in primary and dual spaces; and prove the Banach space analogue of the Pythagorean-type theorem. Earlier, all these results were known only in Hilbert spaces.     

Uniformly normal structure and uniformly Lipschitzian semigroups

Assume that X is a real Banach space with uniformly normal structure and C is a nonempty closed convex subset of X. We show that a κ-uniformly Lipschitzian semigroup of nonlinear self-mappings of C admits a common fixed point if the semigroup has a bounded orbit and if κ is appropriately greater than one. This result applies, in particular, to the framework of uniformly convex Banach spaces.     

Uniform convexity of Musielak-Orlicz-Sobolev spaces and applications

This paper deals with uniform convexity of Musielak-Orlicz-Sobolev spaces and its applications to variational problems. Some sufficient conditions and examples for uniform convexity of Musielak-Orlicz-Sobolev spaces are given. Some special properties relative to the uniformly convex modular for uniformly convex Musielak-Orlicz-Sobolev spaces are presented. As an application of these abstract results, the local minimizers and the mountain pass type critical point of an integral functional with more complicated growth than the p(x)-growth are studied.     

Approximating the common fixed points of two sequences of uniformly quasi-Lipschitzian mappings in convex metric spaces

In this paper, a kind of Ishikawa type iterative scheme with errors for approximating a common fixed point of two sequences of uniformly quasi-Lipschitzian mappings is introduced and studied in convex metric spaces. Under some suitable conditions, the convergence theorems concerned with the Ishikawa type iterative scheme with errors to approximate a common fixed point of two sequences of uniformly quasi-Lipschitzian mappings were proved in convex metric spaces. The results presented in the paper generalize and improve some recent results of Wang and Liu (C. Wang, L.W. Liu, Convergence theorems for fixed points of uniformly quasi-Lipschitzian mappings in convex metric spaces, Nonlinear Anal., TMA 70 (2009), 2067-2071).     

Uniform convexity and the splitting problem for selections

We continue to investigate cases when the Repovš–Semenov splitting problem for selections has an affirmative solution for continuous set-valued mappings. We consider the situation in infinite-dimensional uniformly convex Banach spaces. We use the notion of Polyak of uniform convexity and modulus of uniform convexity for arbitrary convex sets (not necessary balls). We study general geometric properties of uniformly convex sets. We also obtain an affirmative solution of the splitting problem for selections of certain set-valued mappings with uniformly convex images.     

A category of kernels for equivariant factorizations and its implications for Hodge theory

Nonlinear spectral gaps with respect to uniformly convex normed spaces are shown to satisfy a spectral calculus inequality that establishes their decay along Cesàro averages. Nonlinear spectral gaps of graphs are also shown to behave sub-multiplicatively under zigzag products. These results yield a combinatorial construction of super-expanders, i.e., a sequence of 3-regular graphs that does not admit a coarse embedding into any uniformly convex normed space.     

A two-dimensional inequality and uniformly continuous retractions

We prove a new inequality valid in any two-dimensional normed space. As an application, it is shown that the identity mapping on the unit ball of an infinite-dimensional uniformly convex Banach space is the mean of n uniformly continuous retractions from the unit ball onto the unit sphere, for every n?3. This last result allows us to study the extremal structure of uniformly continuous function spaces valued in an infinite-dimensional uniformly convex Banach space.     

Convex functions, subdifferentiability and renormings

This paper through discussing subdifferentiability and convexity of convex functions shows that a Banach space admits an equivalent uniformly [locally uniformly, strictly] convex norm if and only if there exists a continuous uniformly [locally uniformly, strictly] convex function on some nonempty open convex subset of the space and presents some characterizations of super-reflexive Banach spaces.

Best Approximation on Convex Sets in Metric Linear Spaces

In this paper the concepts of strictly convex and uniformly convex normed linear spaces are extended to metric linear spaces. A relationship between strict convexity and uniform convexity is established. Some existence and uniqueness theorems on best approximation in metric linear spaces under different conditions are proved.     

On a proximal point method for convex optimization in banach spaces

We analyze the behavior of a parallel proximal point method for solving convex optimization problems in reflexive Banach spaces. Similar algorithms were known to converge under the implicit assumption that the norm of the space is Hilbertian. We extend the area of applicability of the proximal point method to solving convex optimization problems in Banach spaces on which totally convex functions can be found. This includes the class of all smooth uniformly convex Banach spaces. Also, our convergence results leave more flexibility for the choice of the penalty function involved in the algorithm and, in this way, allow simplification of the computational procedure.     

Strong Convergence Theorem for Multiple Sets Split Feasibility Problems in Banach Spaces

The purpose of this article is to study the iterative approximation of solution to multiple sets split feasibility problems in p-uniformly convex real Banach spaces that are also uniformly smooth. We propose an iterative algorithm for solving multiple sets split feasibility problems and prove a strong convergence theorem of the sequence generated by our algorithm under some appropriate conditions in p-uniformly convex real Banach spaces that are also uniformly smooth.
