A class of concave operators with applications

In this paper we provide some properties of a class of concave operators and apply these results in discussing three-point boundary value problems for differential equations and nonlinear Volterra integral equations.     

Fixed point theorems for nonexpansive maps in Banach spaces

In this work, we present some new versions of fixed point theorems for nonexpansive maps and 1-set contractions defined on closed, convex, not necessarily bounded subsets of Banach spaces. Our proofs rely on a compactness result for an approximate fixed point set. The Kuratowski measure of noncompactness is used throughout. To illustrate the results obtained, some applications to Banach algebras and Hammerstein integral equations are provided.     

Multiple positive solutions of non-local initial value problems for first order differential systems

The paper gives a new and natural method for the existence of multiple positive solutions for first order differential systems with non-local initial value conditions involving linear functionals. The case of higher order differential equations is also considered. The results are accompanied by numerical examples confirming the theory and proving for practice the importance of the bounds in solution localization.     

Equivalent conditions for generalized contractions on (ordered) metric spaces

We establish a geometric lemma giving a list of equivalent conditions for some subsets of the plane. As its application, we get that various contractive conditions using the so-called altering distance functions coincide with classical ones. We consider several classes of mappings both on metric spaces and ordered metric spaces. In particular, we show that unexpectedly, some very recent fixed point theorems for generalized contractions on ordered metric spaces obtained by Harjani and Sadarangani [J. Harjani, K. Sadarangani, Generalized contractions in partially ordered metric spaces and applications to ordinary differential equations, Nonlinear Anal. 72 (2010) 1188-1197], and Amini-Harandi and Emami [A. Amini-Harandi, H. Emami A fixed point theorem for contraction type maps in partially ordered metric spaces and application to ordinary differential equations, Nonlinear Anal. 72 (2010) 2238-2242] do follow from an earlier result of O’Regan and Petru?el [D. O’Regan and A. Petru?el, Fixed point theorems for generalized contractions in ordered metric spaces, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 341 (2008) 1241-1252].     

Monotone generalized contractions in partially ordered probabilistic metric spaces

In this paper, a concept of monotone generalized contraction in partially ordered probabilistic metric spaces is introduced and some fixed and common fixed point theorems are proved. Presented theorems extend the results in partially ordered metric spaces of Nieto and Rodriguez-Lopez [Contractive mapping theorems in partially ordered sets and applications to ordinary differential equations, Order 22 (2005) 223-239; Existence and uniqueness of fixed point in partially ordered sets and applications to ordinary differential equations, Acta Math. Sin. (Engl. Ser.) 23 (2007) 2205-2212], Ran and Reurings [A fixed point theorem in partially ordered sets and some applications to matrix equations, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 132 (2004) 1435-1443] to a more general class of contractive type mappings in partially ordered probabilistic metric spaces and include several recent developments.     

Eigenvalues of semi-positone Hammerstein integral equations and applications to boundary value problems

Eigenvalue intervals and the existence of finitely many positive eigenfunctions for semi-positone Hammerstein integral equations are obtained. The positive characteristic values and their upper and lower bounds of the corresponding linear Hammerstein integral operators are studied. Applications of the results are given to third-order differential equations with three-point boundary conditions.     

Regular Functions of Operators on Tensor Products of Hilbert Spaces

A class of linear operators on tensor products of Hilbert spaces is considered. Estimates for the norm of operator-valued functions regular on the spectrum are derived. These results are new even in the finite-dimensional case. By virtue of the obtained estimates, we derive stability conditions for semilinear differential equations. Applications of the mentioned results to integro-differential equations are also discussed.     

On fixed point theorems of mixed monotone operators and applications

In this paper, we obtain some new existence and uniqueness theorems of positive fixed point of mixed monotone operators in Banach spaces partially ordered by a cone. Finally we apply the main theorem to a nonlinear parabolic partial differential equation. Some results are new even for increasing or decreasing operators.     

Study the stability of solutions of functional differential equations via fixed points

In this paper, we study the stability properties of solutions of a class of functional differential equations with variable delay. By using the fixed point theory under an exponentially weighted metric, we obtain some interesting sufficient conditions ensuring that the zero solution of the equations is stable and asymptotically stable.     

Implicit iteration scheme with perturbed mapping for common fixed points of a finite family of nonexpansive mappings

In this paper we propose a new implicit iteration scheme with perturbed mapping for approximation of common fixed points of a finite family of nonexpansive mappings. We establish some convergence theorems for this implicit iteration scheme. In particular, necessary and sufficient conditions for strong convergence of this implicit iteration scheme were obtained.

Convergence of approximations of monotone gradient systems

We consider stochastic differential equations in a Hilbert space, perturbed by the gradient of a convex potential. We investigate the problem of convergence of a sequence of such processes. We propose applications of this method to reflecting O.U. processes in infinite dimension, to stochastic partial differential equations with reflection of Cahn-Hilliard type and to interface models.

Projectors on the generalized eigenspaces for functional differential equations using integrated semigroups

The aim of this article is to derive explicit formulas for the projectors on the generalized eigenspaces associated to some eigenvalues for linear functional differential equations (FDE) by using integrated semigroup theory. The idea is to formulate the FDE as a non-densely defined Cauchy problem and obtain an explicit formula for the integrated solutions of the non-densely defined Cauchy problem, from which we then derive explicit formulas for the projectors on the generalized eigenspaces associated to some eigenvalues. The results are useful in studying bifurcations in some semi-linear problems.     

Suzuki?s type characterizations of completeness for partial metric spaces and fixed points for partially ordered metric spaces

Recently, Suzuki [T. Suzuki, A generalized Banach contraction principle that characterizes metric completeness, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 136 (2008) 1861-1869] proved a fixed point theorem that is a generalization of the Banach contraction principle and characterizes the metric completeness. In this paper we prove an analogous fixed point result for a self-mapping on a partial metric space or on a partially ordered metric space. Our results on partially ordered metric spaces generalize and extend some recent results of Ran and Reurings [A.C.M. Ran, M.C. Reurings, A fixed point theorem in partially ordered sets and some applications to matrix equations, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 132 (2004) 1435-1443], Nieto and Rodríguez-López [J.J. Nieto, R. Rodríguez-López, Contractive mapping theorems in partially ordered sets and applications to ordinary differential equations, Order 22 (2005) 223-239]. We deduce, also, common fixed point results for two self-mappings. Moreover, using our results, we obtain a characterization of partial metric 0-completeness in terms of fixed point theory. This result extends Suzuki?s characterization of metric completeness.

Fixed points for non-self operators and domain invariance theorems

The purpose of this paper is to discuss some basic problems of the fixed point theory for non-self (single-valued and multivalued) generalized contractions. As consequences, new open operator principles and domain invariance theorems are obtained. The results complement and extend some known results in the literature.     

The σ<Emphasis Type="Italic">g</Emphasis>-Drazin Inverse and the Generalized Mbekhta Decomposition

In this paper we define and study an extension of the g-Drazin for elements of a Banach algebra and for bounded linear operators based on an isolated spectral set rather than on an isolated spectral point. We investigate salient properties of the new inverse and its continuity, and illustrate its usefulness with an application to differential equations. Generalized Mbekhta subspaces are introduced and the corresponding extended Mbekhta decomposition gives a characterization of circularly isolated spectral sets.     

Existence and continuous dependence results for nonlinear differential inclusions with infinite delay

This paper is concerned with nonlinear functional differential inclusions with infinite delay in Banach spaces. Using tools involving the measure of noncompactness and multi-valued fixed point theory, existence and continuous dependence results are obtained, for integral solutions, without the assumption of compactness on the associated nonlinear semigroup.
