Pseudolinear fuzzy mappings

Two classes of fuzzy mappings, called pseudolinear and η-pseudolinear fuzzy mappings are introduced by relaxing the definitions of pseudo-convex and pseudo-invex fuzzy mappings. First, some characterizations of pseudolinear and η-pseudolinear fuzzy mappings are obtained. Then, characterizations of the solution sets of pseudolinear and η-pseudolinear fuzzy programs are derived.     

On some classes of bounded univalent mappings in several complex variables

Let B ⁿ be the Euclidean unit ball in C ⁿ . In this paper, we study several properties of strongly starlike mappings of order α (0 < α < 1) and bounded convex mappings on B ⁿ . We prove that K-quasiregular strongly starlike mappings of order α on B ⁿ have continuous and univalent extensions to ${\overline{B}^n}$ . We show that bounded convex mappings on B ⁿ are strongly starlike of some order α. We give a coefficient estimate for K-quasiregular strongly starlike mappings of order α on B ⁿ . Finally, we give examples of strongly starlike mappings of order α and bounded convex mappings on B ⁿ .     

Schwarzian derivative, integral means, and the affine and linear invariant families of biharmonic mappings

In this paper we discuss the properties of the Schwarzian derivative, integral means and the affine and linear invariant families of biharmonic mappings. First, we introduce the Schwarzian derivative S(F) for biharmonic mappings F = ∣z∣²G + H, and obtain several necessary and sufficient conditions for S(F) to be analytic. Second, we introduce the subordination of biharmonic mappings and obtain inequalities for integral means of subordinate biharmonic mappings. Finally, we introduce the affine and linear invariant families of biharmonic mappings and prove several estimates related to the Jacobian of functions in these invariant families.     

Factorizing τ-spectra of mappings

In this paper by a spectrum of mappings we mean a morphism of spectra of spaces. However, using the notion of a mapping of mappings, we give the definition of a spectrum of mappings similar to that of a spectrum of spaces. In this case, the formulations of the given results are also similar to the formulations of the corresponding results concerning the spectra of spaces.For the spectra of mappings we define the notion of a τ-spectrum of mappings factorizing in a special sense and prove a version of the Spectral Theorem for such spectra. Furthermore, to a given indexed collection F of mapping we associate a τ-spectrum factorizing in the above special sense whose mappings are Containing Mappings for F constructed in Iliadis (2005) [4]. These associated τ-spectra and the corresponding version of the Spectral Theorem imply that for a given indexed collection F of mappings any so-called “natural” τ-spectrum for F factorizing in the special sense contains a cofinal and τ-closed subspectrum whose mappings are Containing Mapping for F. Thus, Containing Mappigs for F appear here without any concrete construction. The associated τ-spectra are used also in order to define and characterize the so-called second-type saturated classes of mappings (which are “saturated” by universal elements).     

On ε quasi-convex mappings in the unit ball of a complex Banach space

In this paper, a new class of biholomorphic mappings named “ε quasi-convex mapping” is introduced in the unit ball of a complex Banach space. Meanwhile, the definition of ε-starlike mapping is generalized from ε∈[0,1] to ε∈[−1,1]. It is proved that the class of ε quasi-convex mappings is a proper subset of the class of starlike mappings and contains the class of ε starlike mappings properly for some ε∈[−1,0)∪(0,1]. We give a geometric explanation for ε-starlike mapping with ε∈[−1,1] and prove that the generalized Roper-Suffridge extension operator preserves the biholomorphic ε starlikeness on some domains in Banach spaces for ε∈[−1,1]. We also give some concrete examples of ε quasi-convex mappings or ε starlike mappings for ε∈[−1,1] in Banach spaces or Cn. Furthermore, some other properties of ε quasi-convex mapping or ε-starlike mapping are obtained. These results generalize the related works of some authors.     

Rectifiable sets and coarea formula for metric-valued mappings

We study Lipschitz mappings defined on an Hn-rectifiable metric space with values in an arbitrary metric space. We find necessary and sufficient conditions on the image and the preimage of a mapping for the validity of the coarea formula. As a consequence, we prove the coarea formula for some classes of mappings with Hk-σ-finite image. We also obtain a metric analog of the Implicit Function Theorem. All these results are extended to large classes of mappings with values in a metric space, including Sobolev mappings and BV-mappings.     

Stability of coincidence points and properties of covering mappings

Properties of closed set-valued covering mappings acting from one metric space into another are studied. Under quite general assumptions, it is proved that, if a given α-covering mapping and a mapping satisfying the Lipschitz condition with constant β < α have a coincidence point, then this point is stable under small perturbations (with respect to the Hausdorff metric) of these mappings. This assertion is meaningful for single-valued mappings as well. The structure of the set of coincidence points of an α-covering and a Lipschitzian mapping is studied. Conditions are obtained under which the limit of a sequence of α-covering set-valued mappings is an (α–?)-covering for an arbitrary ? > 0.     

Bloch constant and Landau's theorem for planar p-harmonic mappings

In this paper, our main aim is to introduce the concept of planar p-harmonic mappings and investigate the properties of these mappings. First, we discuss the p-harmonic Bloch mappings. Two estimates on the Bloch constant are obtained, which are generalizations of the main results in Colonna (1989) [9]. As a consequence of these investigations, we establish a Bloch and Landau's theorem for p-harmonic mappings.     

Resolvent operator technique for generalized implicit variational-like inclusion in Banach space

A new class of g-η-accretive mappings is introduced and studied in Banach space. By using the properties of g-η-accretive mappings, the concept of resolvent operators associated with the classical m-accretive operators is extended. And an iterative algorithm for a new class of generalized implicit variational-like inclusion involving g-η-accretive mappings and its convergence results are established in Banach space.     

Solution of a Loewner chain equation in several complex variables

We find a solution to the Loewner chain equation in the case when the infinitesimal generator satisfies h(0,t)=0, Dh(0,t)=A for any A∈L(Cn,Cn) with m(A)>0. We also study the related classes of spirallike mappings, mappings with parametric representation and asymptotically spirallike mappings.     

Enumeration of mapping patterns

Pólya's enumeration theorem is generalized in the following way. We have sets R and D, and a group G acting (by means of representations) on R and D simultaneously. This induces an equivalence relation in the set of all mappings (or of all one-to-one mappings) of R into D. The number of equivalence classes is determined for both cases. The example of types of mappings of a set into itself is treated in detail.     

Summability and estimates for polynomials and multilinear mappings

In this paper we extend and generalize several known estimates for homogeneous polynomials and multilinear mappings on Banach spaces. Applying the theory of absolutely summing nonlinear mappings, we prove that estimates which are known for mappings on ?_p spaces in fact hold true for mappings on arbitrary Banach spaces.     

Diagonals of separately pointwise Lipschitz mappings

It is proved that, for a metric space X and a normed space Z, the diagonals of pointwise Lipschitz mappings f : X ²? →?Z are exactly stable pointwise limits of pointwise Lipschitz mappings. The joint Lipschitz property of separately pointwise Lipschitz mappings f : X?×?Y?→?Z, where X, Y, and Z are metric spaces, is investigated.     

On the degree theory for general mappings of monotone type

Degree theory has been developed as a tool for checking the solution existence of nonlinear equations. In his classic paper published in 1983, Browder developed a degree theory for mappings of monotone type f+T, where f is a mapping of class ₊(S) from a bounded open set Ω in a reflexive Banach space X into its dual X^∗, and T is a maximal monotone mapping from X into X^∗. This breakthrough paved the way for many applications of degree theoretic techniques to several large classes of nonlinear partial differential equations. In this paper we continue to develop the results of Browder on the degree theory for mappings of monotone type f+T. By enlarging the class of maximal monotone mappings and pseudo-monotone homotopies we obtain some new results of the degree theory for such mappings.     

Fixed points for weakly inward mappings in Banach spaces

S. Hu and Y. Sun [S. Hu, Y. Sun, Fixed point index for weakly inward mappings, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 172 (1993) 266-273] defined the fixed point index for weakly inward mappings, investigated its properties and studied the fixed points for such mappings. In this paper, following S. Hu and Y. Sun, we continue to investigate boundary conditions, under which the fixed point index for the completely continuous and weakly inward mapping, denoted by i(A,Ω,P), is equal to 1 or 0. Correspondingly, we can obtain some new fixed point theorems of the completely continuous and weakly inward mappings and existence theorems of solutions for the equations Ax=μx, which extend many famous theorems such as Leray-Schauder's theorem, Rothe's two theorems, Krasnoselskii's theorem, Altman's theorem, Petryshyn's theorem, etc., to the case of weakly inward mappings. In addition, our conclusions and methods are different from the ones in many recent works.     

Mappings between Banach spaces that send mixed summable sequences into absolutely summable sequences

In this work we study mappings f from an open subset A of a Banach space E into another Banach space F such that, once a∈A is fixed, for mixed (s;q)-summable sequences of elements of a fixed neighborhood of 0 in E, the sequence is absolutely p-summable in F. In this case we say that f is (p;m(s;q))-summing at a. Since for s=q the mixed (s;q)-summable sequences are the weakly absolutely q-summable sequences, the (p;m(q;q))-summing mappings at a are absolutely (p;q)-summing mappings at a. The nonlinear absolutely summing mappings were studied by Matos (see [Math. Nachr. 258 (2003) 71-89]) in a recent paper, where one can also find the historical background for the theory of these mappings. When s=+∞, the mixed (∞,q)-summable sequences are the absolutely q-summable sequences. Hence the (p;m(∞;q))-summing mappings at a are the regularly (p;q)-summing mappings at a. These mappings were also studied in [Math. Nachr. 258 (2003) 71-89] and they were important to give a nice characterization of the absolutely (p;q)-summing mappings at a. We show that for q<s<+∞ the space of the (p;m(s;q))-summing mappings at a are different from the spaces of the absolutely (p;q)-summing mappings at a and different from the spaces of regularly (p;q)-summing mappings at a. We prove a version of the Dvoretzky-Rogers theorem for n-homogeneous polynomials that are (p;m(s;q))-summing at each point of E. We also show that the sequence of the spaces of such n-homogeneous polynomials, n∈N, gives a holomorphy type in the sense of Nachbin. For linear mappings we prove a theorem that gives another characterization of (s;q)-mixing operators in terms of quotients of certain operators ideals.     

Weak compactness and fixed point property for affine mappings

It is shown that a closed convex bounded subset of a Banach space is weakly compact if and only if it has the generic fixed point property for continuous affine mappings. The class of continuous affine mappings can be replaced by the class of affine mappings which are uniformly Lipschitzian with some constant M>1 in the case of c₀, the class of affine mappings which are uniformly Lipschitzian with some constant in the case of quasi-reflexive James’ space J and the class of nonexpansive affine mappings in the case of L-embedded spaces.     

Multilinear extensions of absolutely (p;q;r)-summing operators

In this paper we introduce and study a new class containing the class of absolutely summing multilinear mappings, which we call absolutely (p;q ₁,…,q _m ;r)-summing multilinear mappings. We investigate some interesting properties concerning the absolutely (p;q ₁,…,q _m ;r)-summing m-linear mappings defined on Banach spaces. In particular, we prove a kind of Pietsch’s Domination Theorem and a multilinear version of the Factorization Theorem.     

General implicit variational inclusion problems based on A-maximal (m)-relaxed monotonicity (AMRM) frameworks

A general framework for an algorithmic procedure based on the variational convergence of operator sequences involving A-maximal (m)-relaxed monotone (AMRM) mappings in a Hilbert space setting is developed, and then it is applied to approximating the solution of a general class of nonlinear implicit inclusion problems involving A-maximal (m)-relaxed monotone mappings. Furthermore, some specializations of interest on existence theorems and corresponding approximation solvability theorems on H-maximal monotone mappings are included that may include several other results for general variational inclusion problems on general maximal monotonicity in the literature.     

Differentiability of Mappings of the Sobolev Space <Emphasis Type="Italic">W</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>−1</Subscript><Superscript>1</Superscript> with Conditions on the Distortion Function

We define two scales of the mappings that depend on two real parameters p and q, with n?1 ≤ q ≤ p < ∞, as well as a weight function θ. The case q = p = n and θ ≡ 1 yields the well-known mappings with bounded distortion. The mappings of a two-index scale are applied to solve a series of problems of global analysis and applications. The main result of the article is the a.e. differentiability of mappings of two-index scales.
