On single-valuedness of convex set-valued maps

It is proved that ifX andY are linear spaces andF :X p(Y) is a set-valued map with convex graph such thatF(x) Ø for allx X andF(x ₀) is a singleton for somex ₀, thenF is single-valued and affine. Applications to metric projections and to adjoints of set-valued maps are given.Supported by NSF Grant DMS-9100228.The main result of this paper has been obtained while the second author was visiting the Pennsylvania State University in the framework of the exchange agreement between the Romanian Academy and the National Academy of Sciences of the U.S.A.     

Approximation of continuous set-valued maps by constant set-valued maps with image balls

It is shown that the problem of the best uniform approximation in the Hausdorff metric of a continuous set-valued map with finite-dimensional compact convex images by constant set-valued maps whose images are balls in some norm can be reduced to a visual geometric problem. The latter consists in constructing a spherical layer of minimal thickness which contains the complement of a compact convex set to a larger compact convex set.     

A minimax theorem for functions with possibly nonconnected intersections of sublevel sets

We apply the selection theorem for multivalued mappings with paraconvex values (rather than various versions of KKM-principle) to prove several minimax theorems. In contrast with well-known minimax theorems for coordinatewise semicontinuous functions, in our theorems finite intersections of sublevel or uplevel sets can be nonempty and nonconnected.     

A theorem on martingale selection for relatively open convex set-valued random sequences

For set-valued random sequences (G _n) _n=0 ^N with relatively open convex values G _n(ω), we prove a new test for the existence of a sequence (x _n) _n=0 ^N of selectors adapted to the filtration and admitting an equivalent martingale measure. The statement is formulated in terms of the supports of regular upper conditional distributions of G _n. This is a strengthening of the main result proved in our previous paper [1], where the openness of the set G _n(ω) was assumed and a possible weakening of this condition was discussed.     

A selection theorem for quasi-lower semicontinuous mappings in hyperconvex spaces

We prove a continuous selection theorem for quasi-lower semicontinuous mappings with values that are closed sub-admissible subsets of a hyperconvex metric space and apply this result to obtain fixed point theorems in these spaces.     

Best approximation, coincidence and fixed point theorems for quasi-lower semicontinuous set-valued maps in hyperconvex metric spaces

Suppose X is a compact admissible subset of a hyperconvex metric spaces M, and suppose F:XM is a quasi-lower semicontinuous set-valued map whose values are nonempty admissible. Suppose also G:XX is a continuous, onto quasi-convex set-valued map with compact, admissible values. Then there exists an x₀X such that

As applications, we give some coincidence and fixed point results for weakly inward set-valued maps. Our results, generalize some well-known results in literature.     

An alternative theorem for set-valued maps via set relations and its application to robustness of feasible sets

Abstract

This paper contains a generalized Gordan-type alternative theorem for set-valued maps which characterizes set relations without any convexity assumptions using certain evaluation functions. As a direct consequence and as a good example, we discuss robustness (or stability) of linear programming problems for modelling error. Moreover, this theorem can be utilized for that of general vector optimization problems in special cases due to reformation of the evaluation functions.     

Equilibria of set-valued maps on nonconvex domains

We present new theorems on the existence of equilibria (or zeros) of convex as well as nonconvex set-valued maps defined on compact neighborhood retracts of normed spaces. The maps are subject to tangency conditions expressed in terms of new concepts of normal and tangent cones to such sets. Among other things, we show that if is a compact neighborhood retract with nontrivial Euler characteristic in a Banach space , and is an upper hemicontinuous set-valued map with nonempty closed convex values satisfying the tangency condition

then there exists such that Here, denotes a new concept of retraction tangent cone to at suited for compact neighborhood retracts. When is locally convex at coincides with the usual tangent cone of convex analysis. Special attention is given to neighborhood retracts having ``lipschitzian behavior', called retracts below. This class of sets is very broad; it contains compact homeomorphically convex subsets of Banach spaces, epi-Lipschitz subsets of Banach spaces, as well as proximate retracts. Our results thus generalize classical theorems for convex domains, as well as recent results for nonconvex sets.

     

A new fixed point theorem and its applications

A Komlós-type theorem for the set-valued Henstock-Kurzweil-Pettis integral and applications

This paper presents a Komlós theorem that extends to the case of the set-valued Henstock-Kurzweil-Pettis integral a result obtained by Balder and Hess (in the integrably bounded case) and also a result of Hess and Ziat (in the Pettis integrability setting). As applications, a solution to a best approximation problem is given, weak compactness results are deduced and, finally, an existence theorem for an integral inclusion involving the Henstock-Kurzweil-Pettis set-valued integral is obtained.     

Obstructions to the extension of partial maps

One of the most important problems in topology is the minimization (in some sense) of obstructions to extending a partial map , i.e., of a subsetF ⊂ Z/A such thatf can be globally extended to its complement. It is shown that ifZ is a fixed metric space with dimZ ≤ n andp, q ≥−1 are fixed numbers, then obstructions to extending all partial maps can be concentrated in preselected fairly thin subsets ofZ.

Equilibria and fixed points of set-valued maps with nonconvex and noncompact domains and ranges

Let C$C$ be a nonempty subset of a topological vector space E$E$. We state and prove new various fixed point theorems of Fan–Browder type for set-valued maps F:C→2^E$F:C\to 2^E$ such that C⊂F(C)$C\subset F\left(C\right)$ (called expansive), without assuming that the sets C$C$ and F(C)$F\left(C\right)$ are convex or compact or equal, and E$E$ is Hausdorff. Let K$K$ be a convex subset of E$E$ and let C$C$ be a nonempty subset of K$K$. Our proofs use a technique based on the investigations of the images of maps and restated for maps f:C×K→R∪{−∞,+∞}$f:C\times K\to \mathbb{R}\cup \{-\infty ,+\infty \}$ of G.X.-Z. Yuan’s results concerning the existence of equilibrium points and minimax inequalities for maps f:K×K→R∪{−∞,+∞}$f:K\times K\to \mathbb{R}\cup \{-\infty ,+\infty \}$. Examples are provided.
