Existence results for strong vector equilibrium problems and their applications

New existence results for the strong vector equilibrium problem are presented, relying on a well-known separation theorem in infinite-dimensional spaces. The main results are applied to strong cone saddle-points and strong vector variational inequalities providing new existence results, and furthermore they allow recovery of an earlier result from the literature.     

Some results on generalized equilibrium problems involving a family of nonexpansive mappings

In this paper, we introduce an iterative method for finding a common element in the solution set of generalized equilibrium problems, in the solution set of variational inequalities and in the common fixed point set of a family of nonexpansive mappings. Strong convergence theorems are established in the framework of Hilbert spaces.     

Existence results for second-order impulsive boundary value problems on time scales

In this paper, using a fixed point theorem due to Krasnoselskii and Zabreiko and the Leggett–Williams fixed point theorem respectively, we investigate the existence of one solution and three nonnegative solutions to second-order impulsive equations on time scales.     

Existences of solutions for generalized vector quasi-equilibrium problems

Some existence results for solutions of generalized vector quasi-equilibrium problems

In this paper, we consider more general forms of generalized vector quasi-equilibrium problems for multivalued maps which include many known vector quasi-equilibrium problems and generalized vector quasi-variational inequality problems as special cases. We establish some existence results for solutions of these problems under pseudomonotonicity and u-hemicontinuity/ℓ-hemicontinuity assumptions.      

On iterative methods for equilibrium problems

In this paper, we introduce a hybrid iterative scheme for finding a common element of the set of solutions of an equilibrium problem and the set of fixed points of finitely many nonexpansive mappings. We prove that the approximate solution converges strongly to a solution of a class of variational inequalities under some mild conditions, which is the optimality condition for some minimization problem. We also give some comments on the results of Plubtieng and Punpaeng [S. Plubtieng, R. Punpaeng, A general iterative method for equilibrium problems and fixed point problems in Hilbert spaces, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 336 (2007) 455–469]. Results obtained in this paper may be viewed as an improvement and refinement of the previously known results in this area.     

Existence of invariant curves for area-preserving mappings under weaker non-degeneracy conditions

We consider a class of analytic area-preserving mappings C^m-smoothly depending on a parameter. Without imposing on any non-degeneracy assumption, we prove a formal KAM theorem for the mappings, which implies many previous KAM-type results under some non-degeneracy conditions. Moreover, by this formal KAM theorem, we can also obtain some new interesting results under some weaker non-degeneracy conditions. Thus, the formal KAM theorem can be regarded as a general KAM theorem for areapreserving mappings.     

Strong convergence of a general iterative algorithm for equilibrium problems and variational inequality problems

The purpose of this paper is to study the strong convergence of a general iterative scheme to find a common element of the set of common fixed points of a finite family of nonexpansive mappings, the set of solutions of variation inequalities for a relaxed cocoercive mapping and the set of solutions of an equilibrium problem. Our results extend recent results announced by many others.     

Existence of solutions for anti-periodic boundary value problems

By using Schauder’s fixed point theorem and the lower and upper solutions method, we discuss the anti-periodic boundary value problem for a class of second-order differential equations. Some sufficient conditions for the existence of solutions are obtained.     

Viscosity approximation methods for equilibrium problems and fixed point problems in Hilbert spaces

In this paper, we introduce an iterative scheme by the viscosity approximation method for finding a common element of the set of solutions of an equilibrium problem and the set of fixed points of a nonexpansive mapping in a Hilbert space. Then, we prove a strong convergence theorem which is connected with Combettes and Hirstoaga's result [P.L. Combettes, S.A. Hirstoaga, Equilibrium programming in Hilbert spaces, J. Nonlinear Convex Anal. 6 (2005) 117-136] and Wittmann's result [R. Wittmann, Approximation of fixed points of nonexpansive mappings, Arch. Math. 58 (1992) 486-491]. Using this result, we obtain two corollaries which improve and extend their results.     

Mixed equilibrium problems and optimization problems

In this paper, we introduce and analyze a new hybrid iterative algorithm for finding a common element of the set of solutions of mixed equilibrium problems and the set of fixed points of an infinite family of nonexpansive mappings. Furthermore, we prove some strong convergence theorems for the hybrid iterative algorithm under some mild conditions. We also discuss some special cases. Results obtained in this paper improve the previously known results in this area.     

Strong convergence of a new composite iterative method for equilibrium problems and fixed point problems

In this paper, we propose a new composite iterative method for finding a common point of the set of solutions of an equilibrium problem and the set of fixed points of a countable family of nonexpansive mappings in a Hilbert space. It is proved that the sequence generated by the iterative scheme converges strongly to a common point of the set of solutions of an equilibrium problem and the set of fixed points of a countable family of nonexpansive mappings. Our results improve and extend the corresponding ones announced by many others.     

Existence results for second order impulsive functional differential inclusions

Algorithms of common solutions for variational inclusions, mixed equilibrium problems and fixed point problems

In this paper, we present an iterative algorithm for finding a common element of the set of solutions of a mixed equilibrium problem and the set of fixed points of an infinite family of nonexpansive mappings and the set of a variational inclusion in a real Hilbert space. Furthermore, we prove that the proposed iterative algorithm has strong convergence under some mild conditions imposed on algorithm parameters.     

Existence results for equilibrium problems with applications to evolution equations

In this paper, we consider evolution equations with time-dependent pseudomonotone and quasimonotone operators by a new approach based on equilibrium problems theory. We establish new existence results for equilibrium problems associated to pseudomonotone and quasimonotone bifunctions in the topological sense. The results obtained are then applied to derive existence of solutions for evolution equations. The approach is new and leads to improve and unify most of the results obtained in this direction.     

Existence of solutions for first-order multi-point problems with changing-sign nonlinearity

In this study, conditions for the existence of at least one positive solution to a nonlinear first-order multi-point eigenvalue problem on time scales are discussed. Here the nonlinearity is allowed to take on negative values. The results, which are new for differential/difference equations as well as arbitrary time scales, are based on the Guo–Krasnosel'skii fixed point theorem.     

Existence of multiple symmetric positive solutions of higher order Lidstone problems

This paper gives the sufficient conditions of the existence of at least three symmetric positive solutions for one type of higher order autonomous Lidstone problem by applying the five functionals fixed point theorem. The analogous result for higher order nonautonomous singular Lidstone problem is also proved here.
