Some random approximations and random fixed point theorems for 1-set-contractive random operators

In this paper, we will prove that the random version of Fan's Theorem (Math. Z. 112 (1969), 234-240) is true for 1-set-contractive random operator , where is a weakly compact separable closed ball in a Banach space and is a measurable space. This class of 1-set-contractive random operator includes condensing random operators, semicontractive random operators, LANE random operators, nonexpansive random operators and others. As applications of our theorems, some random fixed point theorems of non-self-maps are proved under various well-known boundary conditions.

     

New existence and uniqueness theorems of positive fixed points for mixed monotone operators with perturbation

In this paper, we obtain some new and general existence and uniqueness theorems of positive fixed points for mixed monotone operators with perturbation, which extend the corresponding results in [Z.T. Zhang, New fixed point theorems of mixed monotone operators and applications, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 204 (1996) 307-319, Theorem 1, Corollaries 1 and 2]. Moreover, some applications to nonlinear integral equations on unbounded region are given.

On the connection between the existence of zeros and the asymptotic behavior of resolvents of maximal monotone operators in reflexive Banach spaces

A more systematic approach is introduced in the theory of zeros of maximal monotone operators , where is a real Banach space. A basic pair of necessary and sufficient boundary conditions is given for the existence of a zero of such an operator . These conditions are then shown to be equivalent to a certain asymptotic behavior of the resolvents or the Yosida resolvents of . Furthermore, several interesting corollaries are given, and the extendability of the necessary and sufficient conditions to the existence of zeros of locally defined, demicontinuous, monotone mappings is demonstrated. A result of Guan, about a pathwise connected set lying in the range of a monotone operator, is improved by including non-convex domains. A partial answer to Nirenberg's problem is also given. Namely, it is shown that a continuous, expansive mapping on a real Hilbert space is surjective if there exists a constant such that The methods for these results do not involve explicit use of any degree theory.

     

Nemitsky's operators and lower closure theorems

This paper focuses on certain analytic criteria given by the authors in earlier works, for the geometric property of upper semicontinuity of set-valued functions, used in the proofs of lower closure theorems, and hence in existence theory. In particular, it is observed that, under Filippov-type condition (namely, when the set of controls is bounded in measure or in norm), mere Carathéodory-type continuity of the relevant functionsf is sufficient to guarantee a weak form of property (Q), and in turn the lower closure theorems.This work has been partially supported by Research Project AFOSR-71-2122 at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Nonlinear random ergodic theorems for affine operators

Let (Ω,ß,μ) be a finite measure space and let (S,F,ν) be another probability measure space on which a measure preserving transformation φ is given. We introduce the so-called affine systems and prove a vector-valued nonlinear random ergodic theorem for the random affine system determined by a strongly F-measurable family of affine operators, where B is a reflexive Banach space, is a strongly F-measurable family of linear contractions on L₁(Ω,B) as well as on L_∞(Ω,B) and ξ is a function in (I−T)Lp(S×Ω,B) (1?p<∞) with the operator T defined by Tf(s,ω)=[Tsfφs](ω) which denotes the F⊗ß-measurable version of Tsfφs(ω). Moreover, some variant forms of the nonlinear random ergodic theorem are also obtained with some examples of affine systems for which the nonlinear ergodic theorems fail to hold.     

Central limit theorems for a branching random walk with a random environment in time

We consider a branching random walk with a random environment in time, in which the offspring distribution of a particle of generation n and the distribution of the displacements of its children depend on an environment indexed by the time n. The environment is supposed to be independent and identically distributed. For A ?, let Z_n(A) be the number of particles of generation n located in A. We show central limit theorems for the counting measure Z_n(·) with appropriate normalization.     

Generalized random linear operators on a Hilbert space

In this paper, we are concerned with generalized random linear operators on a separable Hilbert space. Generalized random linear bounded operators, generalized random linear normal operators and generalized random linear self-adjoint operators are defined and investigated. The spectral theorems for generalized random linear normal operators and generalized random linear self-adjoint operators are obtained.     

An existence theorem for generalized variational inequalities with discontinuous and pseudomonotone operators

This paper gives a solution existence theorem for a generalized variational inequality problem with an operator which is defined on an infinite dimensional space, which is C-pseudomonotone in the sense of Inoan and Kolumbán [D. Inoan, J. Kolumbán, On pseudomonotone set-valued mappings, Nonlinear Analysis 68 (2008) 47-53], but which may not be upper semicontinuous on finite dimensional subspaces. The proof of the theorem provides a new technique which reduces infinite variational inequality problems to finite ones. Two examples are given and analyzed to illustrate the theorem. Moreover, an example is presented to show that the C-pseudomonotonicity of the operator cannot be omitted in the theorem.     

Perron-frobenius-type theorems for tridiagonal operators

It is proved that in a large class of bounded tridiagonal operators (infinite Jacobi matrices), not necessarily positive or non-negative, positive eigenvalues exist and the eigenvector which corresponds to the greatest of them can be taken strictly positive. It is the unique positive eigenvector up to a constant multiple.     

Limit theorems for sums of random exponentials

We study limiting distributions of exponential sums as t→∞, N→∞, where (X_i) are i.i.d. random variables. Two cases are considered: (A) ess sup X_i = 0 and (B) ess sup X_i = ∞. We assume that the function h(x)= -log P{X_i>x} (case B) or h(x) = -log P {X_i>-1/x} (case A) is regularly varying at ∞ with index 1 < ϱ <∞ (case B) or 0 < ϱ < ∞ (case A). The appropriate growth scale of N relative to t is of the form , where the rate function H₀(t) is a certain asymptotic version of the function (case B) or (case A). We have found two critical points, λ₁<λ₂, below which the Law of Large Numbers and the Central Limit Theorem, respectively, break down. For 0 < λ < λ₂, under the slightly stronger condition of normalized regular variation of h we prove that the limit laws are stable, with characteristic exponent α = α (ϱ, λ) ∈ (0,2) and skewness parameter β ≡ 1.Research supported in part by the DFG grants 436 RUS 113/534 and 436 RUS 113/722.Mathematics Subject Classification (2000): 60G50, 60F05, 60E07

Integro-local theorems for sums of independent random vectors in the series scheme

Let S(n) = ξ(1)+?+ξ(n) be a sum of independent random vectors ξ(i) = ξ _(n)(i) with general distribution depending on a parameter n. We find sufficient conditions for the uniform version of the integro-local Stone theorem to hold for the asymptotics of the probability P(S(n) ∈ Δ[x), where Δ[x) is a cube with edge Δ and vertex at a point x.     

Some minimax theorems with strictly monotone transformation

Some two-function minimax theorems are proved. In these results, the staircase and quantitative-topological conditions of both functions involve strictly monotone transformation and mixing of functional values. Consequently, Lin Quan and Kindler＇s minimax theorems are generalized.     

Iterative convergence theorems for maximal monotone operators and relatively nonexpansive mappings

In this paper, some iterative schemes for approximating the common element of the set of zero points of maximal monotone operators and the set of fixed points of relatively nonexpansive mappings in a real uniformly smooth and uniformly convex Banach space are proposed. Some strong convergence theorems are obtained, to extend the previous work.     

Strong limit theorems for quasi-orthogonal random fields

This is a systematic and unified treatment of a variety of seemingly different strong limit problems. The main emphasis is laid on the study of the a.s. behavior of the rectangular means ζ_mn = 1/(λ₁(m) λ₂(n)) Σ_i=1^m Σ_k=1ⁿ X_ik as either max{m, n} → ∞ or min{m, n} → ∞. Here {X_ik: i, k ≥ 1} is an orthogonal or merely quasi-orthogonal random field, whereas {λ₁(m): m ≥ 1} and {λ₂(n): n ≥ 1} are nondecreasing sequences of positive numbers subject to certain growth conditions. The method applied provides the rate of convergence, as well. The sufficient conditions obtained are shown to be the best possible in general. Results on double subsequences and 1-parameter limit theorems are also included.     

Measurability criteria for fuzzy random vectors

Fuzzy random vector is a measurable map from a probability space to a collection of fuzzy vectors. Our aim in this paper is to discuss the measurability criteria for fuzzy random vectors, and show that under mild assumption, the measurability criteria for upper semicontinuous fuzzy random vectors can be expressed in several different but equivalent formulations. Finally, applying the obtained results, we resolve an open problem about the relationship between fuzzy random vectors and fuzzy random variables.     

The characteristic of noncompact convexity and random fixed point theorem for set-valued operators

Let (Ω, Σ) be a measurable space, X a Banach space whose characteristic of noncompact convexity is less than 1, C a bounded closed convex subset of X, KC(C) the family of all compact convex subsets of C. We prove that a set-valued nonexpansive mapping T: C → KC(C) has a fixed point. Furthermore, if X is separable then we also prove that a set-valued nonexpansive operator T: Ω × C → KC(C) has a random fixed point.
