New Generalized Second-Order Contingent Epiderivatives and Set-Valued Optimization Problems

In this paper, we introduce the concept of a generalized second-order composed contingent epiderivative for set-valued maps and discuss its relationship to the generalized second-order contingent epiderivative. We also investigate some of its properties. Then, by virtue of the generalized second-order composed contingent epiderivative, we establish a unified second-order sufficient and necessary optimality condition for set-valued optimization problems, which is a generalization of the corresponding results in the literature.     

Optimality Conditions for Vector Equilibrium Problems in Terms of Contingent Epiderivatives

In this article, we study some important properties of contingent epiderivatives concerning steady functions and a cone with a compact base along with its applications to establish necessary and sufficient optimality conditions for weakly efficient, Henig efficient, globally efficient and superefficient solutions for no constraints and constraints (it concludes cone constraint, equality constraint and a constraint set) vector equilibrium problems in terms of contingent epiderivatives. We also give some examples to illustrate obtained results.     

A Coincidence Degree for Bifurcation Problems with Applications to Steady State Flow

In this paper we study the steady state flow of incompressible fluids treated as an eigenvalue problem. We can define a coincidence degree under some conditions weaker than the ones when the classical coincidence degree was defined, and use the properties of this degree to our problem.     

Geometric Properties and Coincidence Theorems with Applications to Generalized Vector Equilibrium Problems

The present paper is divided into two parts. In the first part, we derive a Fan-KKM type theorem and establish some Fan type geometric properties of convex spaces. By applying our results, we also obtain some coincidence theorems and fixed-point theorems in the setting of convex spaces. The second part deals with the applications of our coincidence theorem to establish some existence results for a solution to the generalized vector equilibrium problems.

Coincidence Wecken Property for Nilmanifolds

Let f, g: X → Y be maps from a compact infra-nilmanifold X to a compact nilmanifold Y with dim X ≥ dim Y. In this note, we show that a certain Wecken type property holds, i.e., if the Nielsen number N(f, g) vanishes then f and g are deformable to be coincidence free. We also show that if X is a connected finite complex X and the Reidemeister coincidence number R(f, g) = ∞ then f ～ f' so that C(f', g) = {x ∈ X | f'(x) = g(x)} is empty.     

Applications of the KKM Property to Coincidence Theorems,Equilibrium Problems,Minimax Inequalities and Variational Relation Problems

In this paper, we establish coincidence-like results in the case when the values of the correspondences are not convex. To do this, we define new type of correspondences, namely, properly quasi-convex-like correspondences. Further, we apply the obtained theorems to solve equilibrium problems and to establish a minimax inequality. In the last part of the paper, we study the existence of solutions for generalized vector variational relation problems. Our analysis is based on the applications of the KKM principle. We establish existence theorems involving new hypothesis and we improve the results of some recent papers.     

Coincidence Points and Invariant Approximation Results for Multimaps

Some coincidence point theorems satisfying a general contractive condition are proved. As applications, some invariant approximation results are also obtained and several related results in the literature are either extended or improved.     

Coincidence and fixed points for hybrid strict contractions

We define the property (E.A) for single-valued and multivalued mappings and introduce the notion of T-weak commutativity for a hybrid pair (f,T) of single-valued and multivalued maps. We obtain some coincidence and fixed point theorems for this class of maps and derive, as application, an approximation theorem.     

广义凸空间上的重合点和几乎相似重合点及其应用(英文)

We introduce the concept of a weakly G-quasiconvex map with respect to a map on generalized convex spaces and use the concept to prove coincidence point theorems and almost-like coincidence point theorems. As applications of the above results, we derive almost fixed point theorems and fixed point theorem. These main results generalize and improve some known results in the literature.     

Contingent derivatives and regularization for noncoercive inverse problems

Abstract

We study the inverse problem of parameter identification in noncoercive variational problems that commonly appear in applied models. We examine the differentiability of the set-valued parameter-to-solution map using the first-order and the second-order contingent derivatives. We explore the inverse problem using the output least-squares and the modified output least-squares objectives. By regularizing the noncoercive variational problem, we obtain a single-valued regularized parameter-to-solution map and investigate its smoothness and boundedness. We also consider optimization problems using the output least-squares and the modified output least-squares objectives for the regularized variational problem. We give a complete convergence analysis showing that for the output least-squares and the modified output least-squares, the regularized minimization problems approximate the original optimization problems suitably. We also provide the first-order and the second-order adjoint method for the computation of the first-order and the second-order derivatives of the output least-squares objective. We provide discrete formulas for the gradient and the Hessian calculation and present numerical results.     

Some Calculus Rules for Contingent Epiderivatives

This article presents some calculus rules for contingent epiderivatives of set-valued maps. Among other results the main emphasis is focused on a formula for scalar multiplication, sum formulae and chain rules. The calculus of contingent cones and some inversion theorems are used as a tool. Some applications are also given.     

Finitely purely atomic measures: Coincidence and rigidity properties

This paper is a natural continuation of the paper [2] by the same author. We shall prove that several coincidence and rigidity phenomena which usually do not appear are possible only in case the underlying measure space is trivial (i.e. is a finite union of atoms). Examples: coincidence of twoL ^p spaces, reflexivity ofL ¹, Radon—Nikodym property ofL ^∞, coincidence of Dunford, Pettis or Bochner integrability, coincidence of theL ^p space and of the weakL ^p space.     

Coincidence and fixed points for maps on topological spaces

The existence of coincidence and fixed points for continuous mappings on pseudo-compact completely regular topological spaces are proved. Our results are different from known, or are generalizations, extensions and improvements of the corresponding results due to Jungck, Liu and Liu et al. Further, the Edelstein result for contractive mappings is extended to Hausdorff (not necessarily completely regular) topological spaces and generalized in many aspects. An example is presented to show that our results are genuine generalizations of the Edelstein result.     

Coincidence theorems and minimax theorems
