A Convex-Analytical Approach to Extension Results for <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-Cyclically Monotone Operators

Results concerning extensions of monotone operators have a long history dating back to a classical paper by Debrunner and Flor from 1964. In 1999, Voisei obtained refinements of Debrunner and Flor’s work for n-cyclically monotone operators. His proofs rely on von Neumann’s minimax theorem as well as Kakutani’s fixed point theorem. In this note, we provide a new proof of the central case of Voisei’s work. This proof is more elementary and rooted in convex analysis. It utilizes only Fitzpatrick functions and Fenchel–Rockafellar duality.     

Weak and Strong Convergence Theorems for Maximal Monotone Operators in a Banach Space

In this paper, we introduce an iterative sequence for finding a solution of a maximal monotone operator in a uniformly convex Banach space. Then we first prove a strong convergence theorem, using the notion of generalized projection. Assuming that the duality mapping is weakly sequentially continuous, we next prove a weak convergence theorem, which extends the previous results of Rockafellar [SIAM J. Control Optim. 14 (1976), 877–898] and Kamimura and Takahashi [J. Approx. Theory 106 (2000), 226–240]. Finally, we apply our convergence theorem to the convex minimization problem and the variational inequality problem.

A variational theory for monotone vector fields

Monotone vector fields were introduced almost 40 years ago as nonlinear extensions of positive definite linear operators, but also as natural extensions of gradients of convex potentials. These vector fields are not always derived from potentials in the classical sense, and as such they are not always amenable to the standard methods of the calculus of variations. We describe here how the selfdual variational calculus, developed recently by the author, provides a variational approach to PDEs and evolution equations driven by maximal monotone operators. To any such vector field T on a reflexive Banach space X, one can associate a convex selfdual Lagrangian L _T on the phase space X × X ^* that can be seen as a “potential” for T, in the sense that the problem of inverting T reduces to minimizing a convex energy functional derived from L _T . This variational approach to maximal monotone operators allows their theory to be analyzed with the full range of methods—computational or not—that are available for variational settings. Standard convex analysis (on phase space) can then be used to establish many old and new results concerned with the identification, superposition, and resolution of such vector fields.

A new proof for Rockafellar's characterization of maximal monotone operators

We provide a new and short proof for Rockafellar's characterization of maximal monotone operators in reflexive Banach spaces based on S. Fitzpatrick's function and a technique used by R. S. Burachik and B. F. Svaiter for proving their result on the representation of a maximal monotone operator by convex functions.

Lax Operator for the Quantised Orthosymplectic Superalgebra Uq[osp(m|n)]

Representations of quantum superalgebras provide a natural framework in which to model supersymmetric quantum systems. Each quantum superalgebra, belonging to the class of quasi-triangular Hopf superalgebras, contains a universal R-matrix which automatically satisfies the Yang–Baxter equation. Applying the vector representation π, which acts on the vector module V, to the left-hand side of a universal R-matrix gives a Lax operator. In this article a Lax operator is constructed for the quantised orthosymplectic superalgebras U _q [osp(m|n)] for all m > 2, n ≥ 0 where n is even. This can then be used to find a solution to the Yang–Baxter equation acting on V ⊗ V ⊗ W, where W is an arbitrary U _q [osp(m|n)] module. The case W = V is studied as an example. Presented by A. Verschoren.

A Lower Bound for the Differences of Powers of Linear Operators

Let T be a bounded linear operator in a Banach space, with σ（T）={1}. In 1983, Esterle-Berkani＇ s conjecture was proposed for the decay of differences （I - T） T^n as follows： Eitheror lim inf （n→∞（n＋1）｜｜（I-T）T^n｜｜≥1/e or T = I. We prove this claim and discuss some of its consequences.     

Characterization for commutators of n -dimensional fractional Hardy operators

In this paper, it was proved that the commutator generated by an n-dimensional fractional Hardy operator and a locally integrable function b is bounded from L ^p1 (ℝ ⁿ ) to L ^p2 (ℝ ⁿ ) if and only if b is a CṀO(ℝ ⁿ ) function, where 1/p ₁ − 1/p ₂ = β/n, 1 < p ₁ < ∞, 0 ⩽ β < n. Furthermore, the characterization of on the homogenous Herz space (ℝ ⁿ ) was obtained.
