Some common fixed point theorems for Banach operator pairs with applications in best approximation

The ordered pair (T,I) of two self-maps of a metric space (X,d) is called a Banach operator pair if the set F(I) of fixed points of I is T-invariant i.e. T(F(I))⊆F(I). Some common fixed point theorems for a Banach operator pair and the existence of common fixed points of best approximation are presented in this paper. The results prove, generalize and extend some results of Al-Thagafi [M.A. Al-Thagafi, Common fixed points and best approximation, J. Approx. Theory 85 (1996) 318-323], Carbone [A. Carbone, Applications of fixed point theorems, Jnanabha 19 (1989) 149-155], Chen and Li [J. Chen, Z. Li, Common fixed points for Banach operator pairs in best approximations, J. Math. Anal.

Best simultaneous approximations, asymptotically nonexpansive mappings and variational inequalities in Banach spaces

The existence of common fixed points is established for three mappings where T is either generalized (f,g)-nonexpansive or asymptotically (f,g)-nonexpansive on a nonempty subset of a Banach space. As applications, the invariant best simultaneous approximation results are proved and the existence of solution of variational inequalities is obtained. Our results unify and substantially improve several recent results existing in the current literature.     

On the best approximations and rate of convergence of decompositions in the root vectors of an operator

We establish upper bounds of the best approximations of elements of a Banach space B by the root vectors of an operator A that acts in B. The corresponding estimates of the best approximations are expressed in terms of a K-functional associated with the operator A. For the operator of differentiation with periodic boundary conditions, these estimates coincide with the classical Jackson inequalities for the best approximations of functions by trigonometric polynomials. In terms of K-functionals, we also prove the abstract Dini-Lipschitz criterion of convergence of partial sums of the decomposition of f from B in the root vectors of the operator A to f     

On vector valued function approximation using a peak norm

A peak norm is defined for L_p spaces of E-valued Bochner integrable functions, where E is a Banach space, and best approximations from a sun to elements of the space are characterized. Applications are given to some families of simultaneous best approximation problems.     

Characterization of semicontinuity of solutions to abstract optimization problems

Abstract

We develop a theory of best simultaneous approximations for closed downward sets in a conditionally complete lattice Banach space X with a strong unit. We study best simultaneous approximation in X by elements of downward and normal sets, and give necessary and sufficient conditions for any element of best simultaneous approximation by a closed subset of X. We prove that a downward subset of X is strictly downward if and only if each its boundary point is simultaneous Chebyshev.     

Stability of Banach spaces via nonlinear ε-isometries

In this paper, we prove that the existence of an ε-isometry from a separable Banach space X into Y (the James space or a reflexive space) implies the existence of a linear isometry from X into Y. Then we present a set valued mapping version lemma on non-surjective ε-isometries of Banach spaces. Using the above results, we also discuss the rotundity and smoothness of Banach spaces under the perturbation by ε-isometries.     

On the splitting problem for selections

We investigate when does the Repovš-Semenov splitting problem for selections have an affirmative solution for continuous set-valued mappings in finite-dimensional Banach spaces. We prove that this happens when images of set-valued mappings or even their graphs are P-sets (in the sense of Balashov) or strictly convex sets. We also consider an example which shows that there is no affirmative solution of this problem even in the simplest case in R³. We also obtain affirmative solution of the approximate splitting problem for Lipschitz continuous selections in the Hilbert space.     

On certain Banach spaces in connection with interpolation theory

By using a norm generated by the error series of a sequence of interpolation polynomials, we obtain in this paper certain Banach spaces. A relation between these spaces and the space (C₀,S) with norm generated by the error series of the best polynomial approximations (minimax series) is established.Finally, certain inequalities for the minimax series of a product are obtained which permit us to define a product over the space (C₀,S). With such a product (C₀,S) is a Banach Algebra.     

L-topological vector spaces and families of L-fuzzy pseudo-norms

In this paper, the concept of a family of L-fuzzy pseudo-norms on vector spaces is proposed and the characterization of L-vector topologies in terms of a family of L-fuzzy pseudo-norms is presented. As applications of the characterization, the Hausdorff separation property, convergence of molecule nets and boundedness of L-sets in L-topological vector spaces are investigated.     

Separable anisotropic differential operators in weighted abstract spaces and applications

In this paper operator-valued multiplier theorems in Banach-valued weighted Lp spaces are studied. Also weighted Sobolev-Lions type spaces are discussed when E₀, E are two Banach spaces and E₀ is continuously and densely embedded on E. Several conditions are found that ensure the continuity of the embedding operators that are optimally regular in these spaces in terms of interpolations of E₀. These results permit us to show the separability of the anisotropic differential operators in an E-valued weighted Lp space. By using these results the maximal regularity of infinite systems of quasi elliptic partial differential equations are established.     

The generalized Roper-Suffridge extension operator in Banach spaces (II)

In this paper, we generalize the Roper-Suffridge extension operator from Cn to Banach spaces. It is proved that this operator preserves the biholomorphic ? starlikeness on some domains in Banach spaces. From these, we may construct a lots of concrete examples about biholomorphic ? starlike mappings on some domains Ω in Cn, or Hilbert spaces, or Banach spaces from univalent ? starlike functions on the unit disc U in C. Meanwhile, the growth theorems of the corresponding mappings are given. Some results of Gong and Liu, Roper and Suffridge, Graham et al. in Cn are extended to Hilbert spaces or Banach spaces.     

The impact of production time variability on make-to-stock queue performance

In this paper, we exploit the distributional Little’s law to obtain the steady-state distribution of the number of customers in a GI/G/1 make-to-stock queueing system. Non-exponential service times in make-to-stock queue modeling are usually avoided or at best, considered in approximations due to difficulties in developing an exact method. By providing a numerical solution of the GI/G/1 make-to-stock queue, we observed the impact of production time variability on optimal inventory control policies. The numerical results prove the degree of errors in the results if an exponential service time distribution were assumed instead of the actual distribution.     

On the stability of iterative approximations to fixed points of nonexpansive mappings

We study iterative retraction approximations to fixed points of the nonexpansive self-mapping given on the closed convex set G in a Banach space B. The conditions which guarantee weak and strong convergence and stability of these approximations with respect to perturbations of both operator A and constraint set G are considered. The results of this paper are new even in a Hilbert space for the iterative projection approximations.     

On Hanner type inequalities with a weight for Banach spaces

We shall present several Hanner type inequalities with a weight constant and characterize 2-uniformly smooth and 2-uniformly convex Banach spaces with these inequalities. p-Uniformly smooth and q-uniformly convex Banach spaces will be also characterized with another Hanner type inequalities with a weight in the other side term. The best value of the weight in these inequalities will be determined for Lp spaces. Also we shall present a duality theorem between these inequalities in a generalized form.     

Approximation to the function z α by rational fractions in a domain with zero external angle

Rational approximations to the function z ^α , α ∈ ? \ ?, were studied by Newman, Gonchar, Bulanov, Vyacheslavov, Andersson, Stahl, and others. The present paper deals with the order of best rational approximations to this function in a domain with zero external angle and vertex at the point z = 0. In particular, the obtained results show that the conditions imposed on the boundary of the domain in the Jackson-type inequality proved by the author in 2001 for the best rational approximations in Smirnov spaces cannot be weakened significantly.     

On well posedness of best simultaneous approximation problems in Banach spaces

The well posedness of best simultaneous approximation problems is considered. We establish the generic results on the well posedness of the best simultaneous approximation problems for any closed weakly compact nonempty subset in a strictly convex Kadec Banach space. Further, we prove that the set of all points inE(G) such that the best simultaneous approximation problems are not well posed is a u- porous set inE(G) whenX is a uniformly convex Banach space. In addition, we also investigate the generic property of the ambiguous loci of the best simultaneous approximation.     

Iterative approximation of a solution of multi-valued variational-like inclusion in Banach spaces: A P-η-proximal-point mapping approach

In this paper, we introduce a class of P-η-accretive mappings, an extension of η-m-accretive mappings [C.E. Chidume, K.R. Kazmi, H. Zegeye, Iterative approximation of a solution of a general variational-like inclusion in Banach spaces, Int. J. Math. Math. Sci. 22 (2004) 1159-1168] and P-accretive mappings [Y.-P. Fang, N.-J. Huang, H-accretive operators and resolvent operator technique for solving variational inclusions in Banach spaces, Appl. Math. Lett. 17 (2004) 647-653], in real Banach spaces. We prove some properties of P-η-accretive mappings and give the notion of proximal-point mapping, termed as P-η-proximal-point mapping, associated with P-η-accretive mapping. Further, using P-η-proximal-point mapping technique, we prove the existence of solution and discuss the convergence analysis of iterative algorithm, for multi-valued variational-like inclusions in real Banach space. The theorems presented in this paper extend and improve many known results in the literature.     

Convergence Theorems for Best Approximations in a Nonreflexive Banach Space

In this paper, we study continuity properties of the mappingP: (x, A)→P_A(x) in a nonreflexive Banach space where PA is the metric projection onto A. Our results extend the existing convergence theorems on the best approximations in a reflexive Banach space to nonreflexive Banach spaces by using Wijsman convergence of sets.
