On the Existence of Optimal Solutions to an Optimal Control Problem

In this paper, some results concerning the existence of optimal solutions to an optimal control problem are derived. The problem involves a quasilinear hyperbolic differential equation with boundary condition and a nonlinear integral functional of action. The assumption of convexity, under which the main theorem is proved, is not connected directly with the convexity of the functional of action. In the proof, the implicit function theorem for multimappings is used.Communicated by L. D. Berkovitz     

A Note on Nonconvex Minimax Theorem with Separable Homogeneous Polynomials

The minimax theorem for a convex-concave bifunction is a fundamental theorem in optimization and convex analysis, and has a lot of applications in economics. In the last two decades, a nonconvex extension of this minimax theorem has been well studied under various generalized convexity assumptions. In this note, by exploiting the hidden convexity (joint range convexity) of separable homogeneous polynomials, we establish a nonconvex minimax theorem involving separable homogeneous polynomials. Our result complements the existing study of nonconvex minimax theorem by obtaining easily verifiable conditions for the nonconvex minimax theorem to hold.     

Minimax theorems for set-valued maps without continuity assumptions

We introduce several classes of set-valued maps with new generalized convexity properties. We also obtain minimax theorems for set-valued maps which satisfy these convexity assumptions and which are not continuous. Our method consists of the use of a fixed point theorem for weakly naturally quasiconcave set-valued maps, defined on a simplex in a topological vector space, or of a constant selection of quasiconvex set-valued maps.

Poisson Lie Groups and Non-Linear Convexity Theorems

In this paper we describe how one can derive nonlinear convexity theorems which are similar to Kostant's nonlinear convexity theorem for the Iwasawa decomposition from Hamiltonian actions on Poisson Lie groups. Our results generalize those of LU and Ratiu ([24]) and aim at a unified symplectic framework for the convexity theorem in [32] and the linear convexity theorems for coadjoint orbits of convex type in [15].     

抽象凸空间中集值映射的不动点定理及其应用

Some results for fractional boundary value problem of differential inclusions

In this paper, we study fractional differential inclusions with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We prove the existence of a solution under both convexity and nonconvexity conditions on the multi-valued right-hand side. The proofs rely on nonlinear alternative Leray–Schauder type, Bressan–Colombo selection theorem and Covitz and Nadler’s fixed point theorem for multi-valued contractions. The compactness of the set solutions and relaxation results is also established. In the last section we consider the fractional boundary value problem with infinite delay.     

Minimum selections and fixed points of set-valued operators in Banach spaces with some uniform convexity

A new continuity theorem of minimum selection is presented for a continuous set-valued operator from a topological space into a Banach space with some uniform convexity. As applications, some problems concerning minimum right inverses for linear operators and minimum fixed points for condensing set-valued nonlinear operators are discussed. Also, the existence of minimum solutions for an integral inclusion is proved.     

The simplest proof of Lieb concavity theorem

In this paper, by applying jointly concavity and jointly convexity of generalized perspective of some elementary functions, we give the simplest proof of the well-known Lieb concavity theorem and Ando convexity theorem.     

Various expressions for modulus of random convexity

We first prove various kinds of expressions for modulus of random convexity by using an L~0(F,R)-valued function's intermediate value theorem and the well known Hahn-Banach theorem for almost surely bounded random linear functionals, then establish some basic properties including continuity for modulus of random convexity. In particular, we express the modulus of random convexity of a special random normed module L~0(F,X)derived from a normed space X by the classical modulus of convexity of X.     

A note on Halley's method

Existence of Equilibrium in Generalized Games with Abstract Convexity Structure

The aim of this paper is to prove the existence of equilibrium for generalized games or abstract economies in contexts where the convexity conditions on strategy spaces and preference correspondences are relaxed and an arbitrary number of agents is considered. The results are based on a fixed-point theorem in which the convexity condition on sets and images of correspondences is replaced by a general notion of abstract convexity, called mc-spaces, generalizing the notions of simplicial convexity, H-spaces, and G-convex spaces.     

Generalized type theorems in topological spaces with applications

In this work, some new generalized type theorems for generalized mappings with compactly open values are established in topological spaces without any convexity assumptions. As applications, a Ky Fan type matching theorem, fixed point theorem and coincidence theorem are obtained in topological spaces. These results generalize some known results from the recent literature.     

Abstract Convexity,Some Relations and Applications

The aim of this article is to analyze the relationship between various notions of abstract convexity structures that we find in the literature, in connection with the problem of the existence of continuous selections and fixed points of correspondences. We focus mainly on the notion of mc -spaces, which was introduced in [J.V. LLinares (1998). Unified treatment of the problem of the existence of maximal elements in binary relations: a characterization. Journal of Mathematical Economics , 29 , 285-302], and its relationship with c -spaces [Ch.D. Horvath (1991). Contractibility and generalized convexity. Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications , 156 , 341-357], simplicial convexity [R. Bielawski (1987). Simplicial convexity and its applications. Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications , 127 , 155-171], order convexity (used in [Ch.D. Horvath and J.V. LLinares (1996). Maximal elements and fixed points for binary relations on topological ordered spaces. Journal of Mathematical Economics , 25 , 291-306]), B '-simplicial convexity and L -spaces [H. Ben-El-Mechaiekh, S. Chebbi, M. Florenzano and J.V. LLinares (1998). Abstract convexity and fixed points. Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications , 222 , 138-150]. Moreover, in the context of mc -spaces, a characterization result of nonempty finite intersection, in the line with the Knaster-Kuratowski-Mazurkiewicz Lemma, some consequences of it and some generalizations of Browder's existence of continuous selection and fixed point theorem are presented.     

Topological convexities, selections and fixed points

A convexity on a set X is a family of subsets of X which contains the whole space and the empty set as well as the singletons and which is closed under arbitrary intersections and updirected unions. A uniform convex space is a uniform topological space endowed with a convexity for which the convex hull operator is uniformly continuous. Uniform convex spaces with homotopically trivial polytopes (convex hulls of finite sets) are absolute extensors for the class of metric spaces; if they are completely metrizable then a continuous selection theorem à la Michael holds. Upper semicontinuous maps have approximate selections and fixed points, under the usual assumptions.     

Generalized convexities of lower semicontinuous functions

In this paper a general theorem on the replacement of the condition “for all λ” in the definition of generalized convexity properties of lower semicontinuous functions by the condition “there exists a λ” is shown. This result can be applied to a number of special kinds of convexity and completes, for instance, studies of Behbikgeb concerning (explicitly) quasiconvex functions.
