Existence for nonlinear evolution inclusions with nonlocal retarded initial conditions

In this paper, we prove a sufficient condition for the global existence of bounded C⁰-solutions for a class of nonlinear functional differential evolution equation of the form where X is a real Banach space, A is the infinitesimal generator of a nonlinear compact semigroup, is a nonempty, convex, weakly compact valued, and almost strongly–weakly u.s.c. multi-function, and is nonexpansive.     

Krasnosel’skii type fixed point theorems under weak topology features

In this paper we prove the following Krasnosel’skii type fixed point theorem: Let M be a nonempty bounded closed convex subset of a Banach space X. Suppose that A:M→X and B:X→X are two weakly sequentially continuous mappings satisfying:

(i)

AM is relatively weakly compact;

(ii)

B is a strict contraction;

(iii)

.

Then A+B has at least one fixed point in M.This result is then used to obtain some new fixed point theorems for the sum of a weakly compact and a nonexpansive mapping. The results presented in this paper encompass several earlier ones in the literature.     

Strong convergence of Krasnoselskii and Mann's type sequences for one-parameter nonexpansive semigroups without Bochner integrals

In this paper, we prove Krasnoselskii and Mann's type convergence theorems for nonexpansive semigroups without using Bochner integral and without assuming the strict convexity of Banach spaces. One of our main results is the following: let C be a compact convex subset of a Banach space E and let be a one-parameter strongly continuous semigroup of nonexpansive mappings on C. Let {tn} be a sequence in [0,∞) satisfying

     

Lim's theorems for multivalued mappings in CAT(0) spaces

Let X be a complete CAT(0) space. We prove that, if E is a nonempty bounded closed convex subset of X and a nonexpansive mapping satisfying the weakly inward condition, i.e., there exists p∈E such that ∀x∈E, ∀α∈[0,1], then T has a fixed point. In Banach spaces, this is a result of Lim [On asymptotic centers and fixed points of nonexpansive mappings, Canad. J. Math. 32 (1980) 421-430]. The related result for unbounded R-trees is given.     

A simple inequality for the von Neumann-Jordan and James constants of a Banach space

Let CNJ(X) and J(X) be the von Neumann-Jordan and James constants of a Banach space X, respectively. We shall show that CNJ(X)?J(X), where equality holds if and only if X is not uniformly non-square. This answers affirmatively to the question in a recent paper by Alonso et al. [J. Alonso, P. Martín, P.L. Papini, Wheeling around von Neumann-Jordan constant in Banach spaces, Studia Math. 188 (2008) 135-150]. This inequality looks quite simple and covers all the preceding results. In particular this is much stronger than Maligranda's conjecture: .     

The Domínguez–Lorenzo condition and multivalued nonexpansive mappings

Let E be a nonempty bounded closed convex separable subset of a reflexive Banach space X   which satisfies the Domínguez–Lorenzo condition, i.e., an inequality concerning the asymptotic radius of a sequence and the Chebyshev radius of its asymptotic center. We prove that a multivalued nonexpansive mapping T:E→2^X$T:E\to 2^X$ which is compact convex valued and such that T(E)$T(E)$ is bounded and satisfies an inwardness condition has a fixed point. As a consequence, we obtain a fixed-point theorem for multivalued nonexpansive mappings in uniformly nonsquare Banach spaces which satisfy the property WORTH, extending a known result for the case of nonexpansive single-valued mappings. We also prove a common fixed point theorem for two nonexpansive commuting mappings t:E→E$t:E\to E$ and T:E→KC(E)$T:E\to \mathit{KC}(E)$ (where KC(E)$\mathit{KC}(E)$ denotes the class of all compact convex subsets of E) when X is a uniformly convex Banach space.     

Viscosity approximation methods for nonexpansive nonself-mappings

Let E a real reflexive Banach space which admits a weakly sequentially continuous duality mapping from E to E^∗, and K be a closed convex subset of E which is also a sunny nonexpansive retract of E, and be nonexpansive mappings satisfying the weakly inward condition and F(T)≠∅, and be a fixed contractive mapping. The implicit iterative sequence {xt} is defined by for t∈(0,1)

xt=P(tf(xt)+(1−t)Txt).     

A fixed point result in strictly convex Banach spaces

We define an alternate convexically nonexpansive map T on a bounded, closed, convex subset C of a Banach space X and prove that if X is a strictly convex Banach space and C is a nonempty weakly compact convex subset of X, then every alternate convexically nonexpansive map T : C → C has a fixed point. As its application, we give an existence result for the solution of an integral equation.     

An Extension of a Simply Inequality Between von Neumann–Jordan and James Constants in Banach Spaces

For a non-trivial Banach space X, let J(X), CNJ(X), C_(NJ)~(p)(X) respectively stand for the James constant, the von Neumann–Jordan constant and the generalized von Neumann–Jordan constant recently inroduced by Cui et al. In this paper, we discuss the relation between the James and the generalized von Neumann–Jordan constants, and establish an inequality between them: C_(NJ)~(p)(X) ≤J(X) with p ≥ 2, which covers the well-known inequality CNJ(X) ≤ J(X). We also introduce a new constant, from which we establish another inequality that extends a result of Alonso et al.     

On turbulent, erratic and other dynamical properties of Zadeh’s extensions

Let (X, d) be a compact metric space and f : X → X a continuous function. Consider the hyperspace (K(X),H) of all nonempty compact subsets of X endowed with the Hausdorff metric induced by d, and let (F(X),d_∞) be the metric space of all nonempty compact fuzzy set on X equipped with the supremum metric d_∞ which is calculated as the supremum of the Hausdorff distances of the corresponding level sets. If is the natural extension of f to (K(X),H) and is the Zadeh’s extension of f to (F(X),d_∞), then the aim of this paper is to study the dynamics of and when f is turbulent (erratic, respectively).     

Uniformly nonsquare Banach spaces have the fixed point property for nonexpansive mappings

It is shown that if the modulus Γ_X of nearly uniform smoothness of a reflexive Banach space satisfies , then every bounded closed convex subset of X has the fixed point property for nonexpansive mappings. In particular, uniformly nonsquare Banach spaces have this property since they are properly included in this class of spaces. This answers a long-standing question in the theory.     

Strong convergence theorems for nonexpansive semigroup in Banach spaces

Let K be a nonempty closed convex subset of a reflexive and strictly convex Banach space E with a uniformly Gâteaux differentiable norm, and a nonexpansive self-mappings semigroup of K, and a fixed contractive mapping. The strongly convergent theorems of the following implicit and explicit viscosity iterative schemes {xn} are proved.

A characterization of the minimal invariant sets of Alspach’s mapping

In 1981, Dale Alspach modified the baker’s transform to produce the first example of a nonexpansive mapping T on a weakly compact convex subset C of a Banach space that is fixed point free. By Zorn’s lemma, there exist minimal weakly compact, convex subsets of C which are invariant under T and are fixed point free.In this paper we produce an explicit formula for the nth power of T, Tⁿ, and prove that the sequence (Tⁿf)_n∈N converges weakly to , for all f∈C. From this we derive a characterization of the minimal invariant sets of T.     

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.     

Asymptotic properties of some non-autonomous systems in Banach spaces

Let X be a reflexive Banach space. We introduce the notion of weakly almost nonexpansive sequences (xn)_n?0 in X, and study their asymptotic behavior by showing that the nonempty weak ω-limit set of the sequence (xn/n)_n?1 always lies on a convex subset of a sphere centered at the origin of radius d=limn→∞‖xn/n‖. Subsequently we apply our results to study the asymptotic properties of unbounded trajectories for the quasi-autonomous dissipative system , where A is an accretive (possibly multivalued) operator in X×X, and f−f_∞∈Lp((0,+∞);X) for some f_∞∈X and 1?p<∞. These results extend recent results of J.S. Jung and J.S. Park [J.S. Jung, J.S. Park, Asymptotic behavior of nonexpansive sequences and mean points, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 124 (1996) 475-480], and J.S. Jung, J.S. Park, and E.H. Park [J.S. Jung, J.S. Park, E.H. Park, Asymptotic behaviour of generalized almost nonexpansive sequences and applications, Proc. Nonlinear Funct. Anal. 1 (1996) 65-79], as well as our results cited below containing previous results by several authors.     

Michael's problem and weakly infinite-dimensional spaces

Let X be a compact Hausdorff space. Suppose that any multivalued map , where Y is a Gδ subset of a Banach space, such that the values of F are convex and closed in Y, has a continuous single-valued selection. Then we prove that X is weakly infinite-dimensional. This provides a partial solution of Gδ-problem, posed by Ernest Michael.     

A note on weakly compact subsets in the projective tensor product of Banach spaces

Let X and Y be two Banach spaces. In this short note we show that every weakly compact subset in the projective tensor product of X and Y can be written as the intersection of finite unions of sets of the form , where K_X and K_Y are weakly compacts subsets of X and Y, respectively. If either X or Y has the Dunford–Pettis property, then any intersection of sets that are finite unions of sets of the form , where K_X and K_Y are weakly compact sets in X and Y, respectively, is weakly compact.     

On viscosity iterative methods for variational inequalities

Let be a commutative family of nonexpansive mappings of a closed convex subset C of a reflexive Banach space X such that the set of common fixed point is nonempty. In this paper, we suggest and analyze a new viscosity iterative method for a commutative family of nonexpansive mappings. We also prove that the approximate solution obtained by the proposed method converges to a solution of a variational inequality. Our method of proof is simple and different from the other methods. Results proved in this paper may be viewed as an improvement and refinement of the previously known results.
