A revised pre-order principle and set-valued Ekeland variational principles with generalized distances

In my former paper "A pre-order principle and set-valued Ekeland variational principle"(see [J. Math. Anal. Appl., 419, 904–937(2014)]), we established a general pre-order principle.From the pre-order principle, we deduced most of the known set-valued Ekeland variational principles(denoted by EVPs) in set containing forms and their improvements. But the pre-order principle could not imply Khanh and Quy's EVP in [On generalized Ekeland's variational principle and equivalent formulations for set-valued mappings, J. Glob. Optim., 49, 381–396(2011)], where the perturbation contains a weak τ-function, a certain type of generalized distances. In this paper, we give a revised version of the pre-order principle. This revised version not only implies the original pre-order principle,but also can be applied to obtain the above Khanh and Quy's EVP. In particular, we give several new set-valued EVPs, where the perturbations contain convex subsets of the ordering cone and various types of generalized distances.     

Vectorial variational principle with variable set-valued perturbation

We give a general vectorial Ekeland's variational principle, where the objective function is defined on an F-type topological space and taking values in a pre-ordered real linear space. Being quite different from the previous versions of vectorial Ekeland's variational principle, the perturbation in our version is no longer only dependent on a fixed positive vector or a fixed family of positive vectors. It contains a family of set-valued functions taking values in the positive cone and a family of subadditive functions of topology generating quasi-metrics. Hence, the direction of the perturbation in the new version is a family of variable subsets which are dependent on the ob jective function values. The general version includes and improves a number of known versions of vectorial Ekeland's variational principle. From the general Ekeland's principle, we deduce the corresponding versions of Caristi–Kirk's fixed point theorem and Takahashi's nonconvex minimization theorem. Finally, we prove that all the three theorems are equivalent to each other.     

VECTORIAL EKELAND＇S VARIATIONAL PRINCIPLE WITH A W-DISTANCE AND ITS EQUIVALENT THEOREMS

By using the properties of w-distances and Gerstewitz’s functions,we first give a vectorial Takahashi’s nonconvex minimization theorem with a w-distance.From this,we deduce a general vectorial Ekeland’s variational principle,where the objective function is from a complete metric space into a pre-ordered topological vector space and the perturbation contains a w-distance and a non-decreasing function of the objective function value.From the general vectorial variational principle,we deduce a vectorial Caristi’s fixed point theorem with a w-distance.Finally we show that the above three theorems are equivalent to each other.The related known results are generalized and improved.In particular,some conditions in the theorems of [Y.Araya,Ekeland’s variational principle and its equivalent theorems in vector optimization,J.Math.Anal.Appl.346(2008),9-16] are weakened or even completely relieved.     

A REMARK ON THE REGULARITY OF VECTOR-VALUED MAPPINGS DEPENDING ON TWO VARIABLES WHICH MINIMIZE SPLITTING-TYPE VARIATIONAL INTEGRALS

We combine the maximum principle for vector-valued mappings established by D’Ottavio, Leonetti and Musciano [7] with regularity results from [5] and prove the H¨older continuity of the first derivatives for local minimizers u:Ω→ RN of splitting-type variational integrals provided Ω is a domain in R2.     

Generalized Gerstewitz's Functions and Vector Variational Principle for-Efficient Solutions in the Sense of Németh

In this paper, we first generalize Gerstewitz's functions from a single positive vector to a subset of the positive cone. Then, we establish a partial order principle, which is indeed a variant of the pre-order principle [Qiu, J. H.: A pre-order principle and set-valued Ekeland variational principle.J. Math. Anal. Appl., 419, 904–937(2014)]. By using the generalized Gerstewitz's functions and the partial order principle, we obtain a vector EVP for-efficient solutions in the sense of N′emeth, which essentially improves the earlier results by completely removing a usual assumption for boundedness of the objective function. From this, we also deduce several special vector EVPs, which improve and generalize the related known results.     

Sto chastic Maximum Principle for Optimal Control of Forward-backward Sto chastic Pantograph Systems with Regime Switching

In this paper, we derive the stochastic maximum principle for optimal control problems of the forward-backward Markovian regime-switching system. The control system is described by an anticipated forward-backward stochastic pantograph equation and modulated by a continuous-time finite-state Markov chain. By virtue of classical variational approach, duality method, and convex analysis, we obtain a stochastic maximum principle for the optimal control.     

ON POSITIVE G-SYMMETRIC SOLUTIONS OF A WEIGHTED QUASILINEAR ELLIPTIC EQUATION WITH CRITICAL HARDY-SOBOLEV EXPONENT

In this paper, we are concerned with a weighted quasilinear elliptic equation involving critical Hardy–Sobolev exponent in a bounded G-symmetric domain. By using the symmetric criticality principle of Palais and variational method, we establish several existence and multiplicity results of positive G-symmetric solutions under certain appropriate hypotheses on the potential and the nonlinearity.

An O（h2） order superclose property for the stress and displacement and a global superconvergence result of the displacement are established by employing a Clement interpolation, an integral identity and appropriate postprocessing techniques.     

Vector-valued Inequalities for Commutators of Singular Integrals on Herz Spaces with Variable Exponents

Based on the theory of variable exponents and BMO norms,we prove the vector-valued inequalities for commutators of singular integrals on both homogeneous and inhomogeneons Herz spaces where the two main indices are variable exponents.Furthermore,we show that a wide class of commutators generated by BMO functions and sublinear operators satisfy vector-valued inequalities.     

Vectorial Ekeland variational principle for systems of equilibrium problems and its applications

For a family of vector-valued bifunctions,we introduce the notion of sequentially lower monotonity,which is strictly weaker than the lower semi-continuity of the second variables of the bifunctions.Then,we give a general version of vectorial Ekeland variational principle(briefly,denoted by EVP) for a system of equilibrium problems,where the sequentially lower monotone objective bifunction family is defined on products of sequentially lower complete spaces(concerning sequentially lower complete spaces,see Zhu et al(2013)),and taking values in a quasi-ordered locally convex space.Besides,the perturbation consists of a subset of the ordering cone and a family {p_i}_(i∈I) of negative functions satisfying for each i∈I,p_i(x_i,y_i) = 0 if and only if x_i=y_i.From the general version,we can deduce several particular equilibrium versions of EVP,which can be applied to show the existence of solutions for countable systems of equilibrium problems.In particular,we obtain a general existence result of solutions for countable systems of equilibrium problems in the setting of sequentially lower complete spaces.By weakening the compactness of domains and the lower semi-continuity of objective bifunctions,we extend and improve some known existence results of solutions for countable system of equilibrium problems in the setting of complete metric spaces(or Fréchet spaces).When the domains are non-compact,by using the theory of angelic spaces(see Floret(1980)),we generalize some existence results on solutions for countable systems of equilibrium problems by extending the framework from reflexive Banach spaces to the strong duals of weakly compactly generated spaces.

Also, we establish a variational principle for polynomial entropy on compact subsets in the context of amenable group actions.     

A Global Optimality Principle for Fully Coupled Mean-field Control Systems

This paper concerns a global optimality principle for fully coupled mean-field control systems.Both the first-order and the second-order variational equations are fully coupled mean-field linear FBSDEs.

非扩张映射的不动点与变分包含问题的公共解

In this paper, we introduce an iterative scheme for finding a common element of the set of fixed points of a nonexpansive mapping and the set of solutions of the variational inclusion for an inverse-strongly monotone mapping and a maximal monotone mapping in a real Hilbert space. Then we show that the sequence converges strongly to a common element of two sets. Using the result, we consider the problem of finding a common fixed point of a nonexpansive mapping and a strictly pseudocontractive mapping in a real Hilbert space.

Sharp threshold of global existence for the Klein-Gordon equations with critical nonlinearity

In this paper, we present a cross-constrained variational method to study the Cauchy problem of the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equations with critical nonlinearity in two space dimensions. By constructing a type of cross-constrained variational problem and establishing so-called cross-invariant manifolds of the evolution flow, we establish a sharp threshold of global existence and blowup of it. Furthermore, we answer the question： How small are the initial data if the solution exists globally.
