A general vectorial Ekeland’s variational principle with a P-distance

In this paper, by using p-distances on uniform spaces, we establish a general vectorial Ekeland variational principle （in short EVP）, where the objective function is defined on a uniform space and taking values in a pre-ordered real linear space and the perturbation involves a p-distance and a monotone function of the objective function. Since p-distances are very extensive, such a form of the perturbation in deed contains many different forms of perturbations appeared in the previous versions of EVP. Besides, we only require the objective function has a very weak property, as a substitute for lower semi-continuity, and only require the domain space （which is a uniform space） has a very weak type of completeness, i.e., completeness with respect to a certain p-distance. Such very weak type of completeness even includes local completeness when the uniform space is a locally convex topological vector space. From the general vectorial EVP, we deduce a general vectorial Caristi＇s fixed point theorem and a general vectorial Takahashi＇s nonconvex minimization theorem. Moreover, we show that the above three theorems are equivalent to each other. We see that the above general vectorial EVP includes many particular versions of EVP, which extend and complement the related known results.     

On Ha＇s Version of Set-valued Ekeland＇s Variational Principle

By using the concept of cone extensions and Dancs-Hegedus-Medvegyev theorem, Ha [Some variants of the Ekeland variational principle for a set-valued map. J. Optim. Theory Appl., 124, 187–206 (2005)] established a new version of Ekeland’s variational principle for set-valued maps, which is expressed by the existence of strict approximate minimizer for a set-valued optimization problem. In this paper, we give an improvement of Ha’s version of set-valued Ekeland’s variational principle. Our proof is direct and it need not use Dancs-Hegedus-Medvegyev theorem. From the improved Ha’s version, we deduce a Caristi-Kirk’s fixed point theorem and a Takahashi’s nonconvex minimization theorem for set-valued maps. Moreover, we prove that the above three theorems are equivalent to each other.     

P-distances, q-distances and a generalized Ekeland’s variational principle in uniform spaces

In this paper, we attempt to give a unified approach to the existing several versions of Ekeland’s variational principle. In the framework of uniform spaces, we introduce p-distances and more generally, q-distances. Then we introduce a new type of completeness for uniform spaces, i.e., sequential completeness with respect to a q-distance (particularly, a p-distance), which is a very extensive concept of completeness. By using q-distances and the new type of completeness, we prove a generalized Takahashi’s nonconvex minimization theorem, a generalized Ekeland’s variational principle and a generalized Caristi’s fixed point theorem. Moreover, we show that the above three theorems are equivalent to each other. From the generalized Ekeland’s variational principle, we deduce a number of particular versions of Ekeland’s principle, which include many known versions of the principle and their improvements.     

LOCALLY EKELAND＇S VARIATIONAL PRINCIPLE AND SOME SURJECTIVE MAPPING THEOREMS

This paper shows that if a Gateaux differentiable fuactional f has a finite lower bound (although it need not attain it), then, for every ε > O, there exists some point zε suchthat ||f‘(zε)|| ≤ ε / 1+h(||xε||), where h : [0, ∞) → [0,∞) is a continuous function such that ∫0^∞ 1 /1+h(γ)dγ = ∞. Applications are given to extremum problem and some surjective mappings.

RIESZ IDEMPOTENT AND BROWDER＇S THEOREM FOR ABSOLUTE-（p,r ）-PARANORMAL OPERATORS

An operator T is said to be paranormal if ||T 2x|| ≥ ||T x||2 holds for every unit vector x.Several extensions of paranormal operators are considered until now,for example absolute-k-paranormal and p-paranormal introduced in [10],[14],respectively.Yamazaki and Yanagida [38] introduced the class of absolute-(p,r)-paranormal operators as a further generalization of the classes of both absolute-k-paranormal and p-paranormal operators.An operator T ∈ B(H) is called absolute-(p,r)-paranormal operator if |||T |p|T |r x||r ≥ |||T |rx||p+r for every unit vector x ∈ H and for positive real numbers p > 0 and r > 0.The famous result of Browder,that self adjoint operators satisfy Browder’s theorem,is extended to several classes of operators.In this paper we show that for any absolute-(p,r)paranormal operator T,T satisfies Browder’s theorem and a-Browder’s theorem.It is also shown that if E is the Riesz idempotent for a nonzero isolated point μ of the spectrum of a absolute-(p,r)-paranormal operator T,then E is self-adjoint if and only if the null space of T μ,N(T μ) N(T μ).
