A Family of Enlargements of Maximal Monotone Operators

We introduce a family of enlargements of maximal monotone operators. The Brønsted and Rockafellar -subdifferential operator can be regarded as an enlargement of the subdifferential. The family of enlargements introduced in this paper generalizes the Brønsted and Rockafellar -subdifferential (enlargement) and also generalize the enlargement of an arbitrary maximal monotone operator recently proposed by Burachik, Iusem and Svaiter. We characterize the biggest and the smallest enlargement belonging to this family and discuss some general properties of its members. A subfamily is also studied, namely the subfamily of those enlargements which are also additive. Members of this subfamily are formally closer to the -subdifferential. Existence of maximal elements is proved. In the case of the subdifferential, we prove that the -subdifferential is maximal in this subfamily.     

Monotone Operators Representable by l.s.c. Convex Functions

A theorem due to Fitzpatrick provides a representation of arbitrary maximal monotone operators by convex functions. This paper explores representability of arbitrary (nonnecessarily maximal) monotone operators by convex functions. In the finite-dimensional case, we identify the class of monotone operators that admit a convex representation as the one consisting of intersections of maximal monotone operators and characterize the monotone operators that have a unique maximal monotone extension.Mathematics Subject Classifications (2000) 47H05, 46B99, 47H17.     

Regular Maximal Monotone Operators

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a class of maximal monotone operators on Banach spaces that contains all maximal monotone operators on reflexive spaces, all subdifferential operators of proper, lsc, convex functions, and, more generally, all maximal monotone operators that verify the simplest possible sum theorem. Dually strongly maximal monotone operators are also contained in this class. We shall prove that if T is an operator in this class, then (the norm closure of its domain) is convex, the interior of co(dom(T)) (the convex hull of the domain of T) is exactly the set of all points of at which T is locally bounded, and T is maximal monotone locally, as well as other results.     

Modified Proximal-Point Algorithm for Maximal Monotone Operators in Banach Spaces

We introduce an iterative sequence for finding the solution to 0∈T(v), where T : E⇉E ^* is a maximal monotone operator in a smooth and uniformly convex Banach space E. This iterative procedure is a combination of iterative algorithms proposed by Kohsaka and Takahashi (Abstr. Appl. Anal. 3:239–249, 2004) and Kamamura, Kohsaka and Takahashi (Set-Valued Anal. 12:417–429, 2004). We prove a strong convergence theorem and a weak convergence theorem under different conditions respectively and give an estimate of the convergence rate of the algorithm. An application to minimization problems is given. This work was partially supported by the National Natural Sciences Grant 10671050 and the Heilongjiang Province Natural Sciences Grant A200607.

Weak and Strong Convergence Theorems for Maximal Monotone Operators in a Banach Space

In this paper, we introduce an iterative sequence for finding a solution of a maximal monotone operator in a uniformly convex Banach space. Then we first prove a strong convergence theorem, using the notion of generalized projection. Assuming that the duality mapping is weakly sequentially continuous, we next prove a weak convergence theorem, which extends the previous results of Rockafellar [SIAM J. Control Optim. 14 (1976), 877–898] and Kamimura and Takahashi [J. Approx. Theory 106 (2000), 226–240]. Finally, we apply our convergence theorem to the convex minimization problem and the variational inequality problem.

Generalized Monotone Operators on Dense Sets

In the present work we show that the local generalized monotonicity of a lower semicontinuous set-valued operator on some certain type of dense sets ensures the global generalized monotonicity of that operator. We achieve this goal gradually by showing at first that the lower semicontinuous set-valued functions of one real variable, which are locally generalized monotone on a dense subsets of their domain are globally generalized monotone. Then, these results are extended to the case of set-valued operators on arbitrary Banach spaces. We close this work with a section on the global generalized convexity of a real valued function, which is obtained out of its local counterpart on some dense sets.     

Second Order Cones for Maximal Monotone Operators via Representative Functions

It is shown that various first and second order derivatives of the Fitzpatrick and Penot representative functions for a maximal monotone operator T, in a reflexive Banach space, can be used to represent differential information associated with the tangent and normal cones to the Graph T. In particular we obtain formula for the proto-derivative, as well as its polar, the normal cone to the graph of T. First order derivatives are shown to be useful in recognising points of single-valuedness of T. We show that a strong form of proto-differentiability to the graph of T, is often associated with single valuedness of T. The second author’s research was funded by NSERC and the Canada Research Chair programme, and the first author’s by ARC grant number DP0664423. This study was commenced between August and December 2005 while the first author was visiting Dalhousie University.     

Two Characterizations of Super-Reflexive Banach Spaces by the Behaviour of Differences of Convex Functions

A function defined on a Banach space X is called Δ-convex if it can be represented as a difference of two continuous convex functions. In this work we study the relationship between some geometrical properties of a Banach space X and the behaviour of the class of all Δ-convex functions defined on it. More precisely, we provide two new characterizations of super-reflexivity in terms Δ-convex functions.

Hybrid Proximal-Type and Hybrid Shrinking Projection Algorithms for Equilibrium Problems,Maximal Monotone Operators,and Relatively Nonexpansive Mappings

In this article, we introduce two hybrid proximal-type algorithms and two hybrid shrinking projection algorithms by using the hybrid proximal-type method and the hybrid shrinking projection method, respectively, for finding a common element of the set of solutions of an equilibrium problem, the set of fixed points of a relatively nonexpansive mapping, and the set of solutions to the equation 0 ∈ Tx for a maximal monotone operator T defined on a uniformly smooth and uniformly convex Banach space. The strong convergence of the sequences generated by the proposed algorithms is established. Our results improve and generalize several known results in the literature.     

Weakly Compact Composition Operators on Locally Convex Spaces

Let E be a complete, barrelled locally convex space, let V = (v_n) be an increasing sequence of strictly positive, radial, continuous, bounded weights on the unit disc 𝔻 of the complex plane, and let φ be an analytic self map on 𝔻. The composition operators C_φ : f → f ○ φ on the weighted space of holomorphic functions HV (𝔻, E) which map bounded sets into relatively weakly compact subsets are characterized. Our approach requires a study of wedge operators between spaces of continuous linear maps between locally convex spaces which extends results of Saksman and Tylli [31, 32], and a representation of the space HV (𝔻, E) as a space of operators which complements work by Bierstedt , Bonet and Galbis [4] and by Bierstedt and Holtmanns [6].     

The Sum and Chain Rules for Maximal Monotone Operators

This paper is primarily concerned with the problem of maximality for the sum A + B and composition L* ML in non-reflexive Banach space settings under qualifications constraints involving the domains of A, B, M. Here X, Y are Banach spaces with duals X*, Y*, A, B: X ⇉ X*, M: Y ⇉ Y* are multi-valued maximal monotone operators, and L: X → Y is linear bounded. Based on the Fitzpatrick function, new characterizations for the maximality of an operator as well as simpler proofs, improvements of previously known results, and several new results on the topic are presented.
