New systems of generalized vector quasi-equilibrium problems in product FC-spaces

The notions of C _i (x)-FC-diagonally quasiconvex, C _i (x)-FC-quasiconvex and C _i (x)-FC-quasiconvex-like for set-valued mappings are introduced in FC-spaces without convexity structure. By applying these notions and a maximal element theorem for a family of set-valued mappings on product FC-space due to author, some new existence theorems of solutions for four new classes of systems of generalized vector quasi-equilibrium problems are proved in noncompact FC-spaces. These results improve and generalize some recent known results in literature to noncompact FC-spaces.     

Nonempty Intersection Theorems and Generalized Multi-objective Games in Product <Emphasis Type="Italic">FC</Emphasis>-Spaces

A new class of generalized multi-objective games is introduced and studied in FC-spaces where the number of players may be finite or infinite, and all payoff are all set-valued mappings and get their values in a topological space. By using an existence theorems of maximal elements for a family of set-valued mappings in product FC-spaces due to author, some new nonempty intersection theorems for a family of set-valued mappings are first proved in FC-spaces. As applications, some existence theorems of weak Pareto equilibria for the generalized multi-objective games are established in noncompact FC-spaces. These theorems improve, unify and generalize the corresponding results in recent literatures.

Minimax theorems for limits of parametrized functions having at most one local minimum lying in a certain set

In this paper, we establish some minimax theorems, of purely topological nature, that, through the variational methods, can be usefully applied to nonlinear differential equations. Here is a (simplified) sample: Let X be a Hausdorff topological space, I⊆R an interval and . Assume that the function Ψ(x,⋅) is lower semicontinuous and quasi-concave in I for all x∈X, while the function Ψ(⋅,q) has compact sublevel sets and one local minimum at most for each q in a dense subset of I. Then, one has

     

Gabriel-Popescu type theorems and applications

In this paper we obtain a general version of Gabriel-Popescu theorem representing any Grothendieck category as a quotient category of the category of modules over a ring (not necessarily with unit) with enough idempotents to right using a family of generators (U_i)_i∈I of where U_i are not supposed to be small. Applications to locally finite categories are obtained. In particular, for a coalgebra C (over a field) we prove that C is right semiperfect if and only if the category has the AB4∗ condition.     

MATHEMATICAL PROGRAMS WITH SYSTEM OF GENERALIZED VECTOR QUASI-EQUILIBRIUM CONSTRAINTS IN FC-SPACES

In this article, four new classes of systems of generalized vector quasi-equilibrium problems are introduced and studied in FC-spaces without convexity structure. The notions of Ci（x）-FC-partially diagonally quasiconvex, Ci（x）-FC-quasiconvex, and Ci（x）-FC- quasiconvex-like for set-valued mappings are also introduced in FC-spaces. By applying these notions and a maximal element theorem, the nonemptyness and compactness of solution sets for four classes of systems of generalized vector quasi-equilibrium problems are proved in noncompact FC-spaces. As applications, some new existence theorems of solutions for mathematical programs with system of generalized vector quasi-equilibrium constraints are obtained in FC-spaces. These results improve and generalize some recent known results in literature.

These results improve and generalize many important results in the recent literature.

A uniform Artin-Rees property for syzygies in rings of dimension one and two

Let be a local Noetherian ring, let M be a finitely generated R-module and let I⊂R be an -primary ideal. Let be a free resolution of M. In this paper we study the question whether there exists an integer h such that IⁿF_i∩ker(∂_i)⊂I^n−hker(∂_i) holds for all i. We give a positive answer for rings of dimension at most two. We relate this property to the existence of an integer s such that I^s annihilates the modules for all i>0 and all integers n.

On the uniform density of C(X) ⊗ C(Y) in C(X × Y)

We prove that if X and Y are compact Hausdorff spaces, then every f ∈ C(X × Y)₊, i.e. f(x, y) ≥ 0 for all (x, y) ∈ X × Y, can be approximated uniformly from below and above by elements of the form , where f_i ∈ C(X)₊ and g_i ∈ C(Y)₊ for i = 1, 2, …, n. The proof uses only elementary topology. We use this result, in conjuction with Kakutani's M-spaces representation theorem, to obtain an alternative proof for a known property of Fremlin's Riesz space tensor product of Archimedean Riesz spaces.

Approximation methods for common fixed points for a countable family of nonexpansive mappings

Let E=L_p or l_p space, 1<p<∞. Let K be a closed, convex and nonempty subset of E. Let be a family of nonexpansive self-mappings of K. For arbitrary fixed δ∈(0,1), define a family of nonexpansive maps by S_i?(1−δ)I+δT_i where I is the identity map of K. Let . It is proved that the iterative sequence {x_n} defined by: x₀∈K,x_n+1=α_nu+∑_i≥1σ_i,tnS_ix_n,n≥0 converges strongly to a common fixed point of the family where {α_n} and {σ_i,tn} are sequences in (0,1) satisfying appropriate conditions, in each of the following cases: (a) E=l_p,1<p<∞, and (b) E=L_p,1<p<∞ and at least one of the maps T_i’s is demicompact. Our theorems extend the results of [P. Maingé, Approximation methods for common fixed points of nonexpansive mappings in Hilbert space, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 325 (2007) 469-479] from Hilbert spaces to l_p spaces, 1<p<∞.

Existence and multiplicity of solutions to 2mth-order ordinary differential equations

In this paper, the existence and multiplicity of solutions are obtained for the 2mth-order ordinary differential equation two-point boundary value problems u(2(m−i))(t)=f(t,u(t)) for all t∈[0,1] subject to Dirichlet, Neumann, mixed and periodic boundary value conditions, respectively, where f is continuous, ai∈R for all i=1,2,…,m. Since these four boundary value problems have some common properties and they can be transformed into the integral equation of form , we firstly deal with this nonlinear integral equation. By using the strongly monotone operator principle and the critical point theory, we establish some conditions on f which are able to guarantee that the integral equation has a unique solution, at least one nonzero solution, and infinitely many solutions. Furthermore, we apply the abstract results on the integral equation to the above four 2mth-order two-point boundary problems and successfully resolve the existence and multiplicity of their solutions.
