From Scalar to Vector Equilibrium Problems in the Quasimonotone Case

In a unified approach, existence results for quasimonotone vector equilibrium problems and quasimonotone (multivalued) vector variational inequality problems are derived from an existence result for a scalar equilibrium problem involving two (rather than one) quasimonotone bifunctions. The results in the vector case are not only obtained in a new way, but they are also stronger versions of earlier existence results.     

Existence conditions for non-safe loads in masonry-like bodies

We study the existence of minimizers for a class of noncoercive functionals, representing the strain energy of masonry-like bodies subject to loads that are not “safe” with respect to certain existence conditions estblished in the literature. Some more general sufficient conditions for existence are proved, and two simple noncoercive examples are discussed making use of these conditions.

Existence theorems for variational inclusion problems and the set-valued vector Ekeland variational principle in a complete metric space

In this paper, we apply an existence theorem for the variational inclusion problem to study the existence results for the variational intersection problems in Ekeland’s sense and the existence results for some variants of set-valued vector Ekeland variational principles in a complete metric space. Our results contain Ekeland’s variational principle as a special case and our approaches are different to those for any existence theorems for such problems.

Equilibrium problems and variational inequalities in topological vector spaces

An existence result for the equilibrium problem is proved in a general topological vector space. As applications, existence results are derived for variational inequality problems, vector equilibrium problems and vector variational inequality problems. Our results extend and unify a number of existence theorems in non-compact cases     

Existence of Optimal Controls in the Absence of Cesari-Type Conditions forSemilinear Elliptic and Parabolic Systems

Some new results on the existence of optimal controls are established for control systems governed by semilinear elliptic or parabolic equations. No Cesari type conditions are assumed. By proving existence theorems and analyzing the Pontryagin maximum principle for optimal relaxed state-control pairs for the corresponding relaxed problems, existence theorems of classical optimal pairs for the original problem are established. To treat the case of a noncompact control set, relaxed controls defined by finitely additive measures are used.     

Topologically‐based characterizations of the existence of solutions of optimization‐related problems

Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of solutions of optimization‐related problems, defined on general sets, are established by using topologically‐based structures, without the usual linear structure. First, we prove that the existence of solutions to a variational relation problem is equivalent to the existence of either a KKM‐structure or a connectedness structure, satisfying additionally some verifiable conditions. Then, applying these results, we obtain such full (two‐way) characterizations for the existence of invariant points, solutions of quasiequilibrium problems of the Stampacchia‐Minty type, saddle points, and Nash equilibria for noncooperative games. The main advantages of our scheme with the mentioned two structures are that full characterizations for existence are obtained in a unified way, with no convexity assumptions, and also that one has flexibility to choose a suitable structure in investigations. (This flexibility is decisive when the natural underlying structure of the given problem is scarcely employed.)     

Existence of Solutions for a Class of Nonlinear Evolution Inclusions with Nonlocal Conditions

This paper deals with the nonlocal problems for a class of nonlinear first-order evolution inclusions. Some existence results are established for the cases of a convex and of a nonconvex valued perturbation terms. Also, the existence of extremal solutions and a strong relaxation theorem are obtained. Subsequently a nonlinear hyperbolic optimal control problem is considered and the existence theorems based on the proven results are obtained. Then the nonlinear version of “bang–bang” principle for control systems is given as well by utilizing the relaxation theorem.     

Existence of Bayesian Estimates for the Polychotomous Quantal Response Models

This paper investigates the existence of Bayesian estimates for polychotomous quantal response models using a uniform improper prior distribution on the regression parameters. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the propriety of the posterior distribution with a general link function are established. In addition, the sufficient conditions for the existence of the posterior moments and the posterior moment generating function are obtained. It is also found that the propriety guarantees the existence of the maximum likelihood estimate.

On the existence of generalized inverses

Conditions are given for the existence of a generalized inverse of a ring morphism, and the results are related to the theory of semi-simple Artinian rings. Necessary and sufficient conditions are also given for the existence of a generalized inverse of a morphism on real inner product spaces.     

On fourth-order elliptic boundary value problems

This paper is concerned with the existence and uniqueness of a solution for a class of fourth-order elliptic boundary value problems. The existence of a solution is proven by the method of upper and lower solutions without any monotone nondecreasing or nonincreasing property of the nonlinear function. Sufficient conditions for the uniqueness of a solution and some techniques for the construction of upper and lower solutions are given. All the existence and uniqueness results are directly applicable to fourth-order two-point boundary value problems.

Existence and multiplicity of positive solutions to Schrödinger–Poisson type systems with critical nonlocal term

The existence, nonexistence and multiplicity of positive radially symmetric solutions to a class of Schrödinger–Poisson type systems with critical nonlocal term are studied with variational methods. The existence of both the ground state solution and mountain pass type solutions are proved. It is shown that the parameter ranges of existence and nonexistence of positive solutions for the critical nonlocal case are completely different from the ones for the subcritical nonlocal system.     

The Study of Minimax Inequalities, Abstract Economics and Applications to Variational Inequalities and Nash Equilibria

In this survey, a new minimax inequality and one equivalent geometricform are proved. Next, a theorem concerning the existence of maximalelements for an LC-majorized correspondence is obtained.By the maximal element theorem, existence theorems of equilibrium point fora noncompact one-person game and for a noncompact qualitative game withLC-majorized correspondences are given. Using the lastresult and employing 'approximation approach', we prove theexistence of equilibria for abstract economies in which the constraintcorrespondence is lower (upper) semicontinuous instead of having lower(upper) open sections or open graphs in infinite-dimensional topologicalspaces. Then, as the applications, the existence theorems of solutions forthe quasi-variational inequalities and generalized quasi-variationalinequalities for noncompact cases are also proven. Finally, with theapplications of quasi-variational inequalities, the existence theorems ofNash equilibrium of constrained games with noncompact are given. Our resultsinclude many results in the literature as special cases.     

Measures of noncompactness and fixed points of random operators

The existence of random solutions is established for a class of random Volterra integral inclusions in which the orientor field has a stochastic domain. The proof is based on a stochastic analog of the Tietze extension theorem and on a deterministic existence result which are established as well in the paper. In particular the deterministic existence theorem is stated and proved for nonconvex orientor fields     

Equivalent forms of a generalized KKM theorem and their applications

In this paper, we study various types of variational relation problems. We establish the existence of solutions for these types of problems and point out some important particular cases and their applications. We also show that some existence theorems of solution for these types of problems and some existence theorems of variational inclusion problems are equivalent to a generalized KKM theorem. Applying our results we obtain existence theorems of common fixed point, generalized maximal element theorems, a generalized coincidence theorems and a section theorem.     

An Elementary Approach to the Daniell-Kolmogorov Theorem and Some Related Results

We give a short elementary proof of the Daniell-Kolmogorov existence theorem for probability measures on product spaces, assuming nothing but the existence of Lebesgue measure on the unit interval. Related approaches are used to prove the existence of regular conditional distributions directly on Polish spaces, and to establish the existence of random measures and sets with given finite-dimensional distributions or hitting probabilities, respectively.
