Implicit Multifunction Theorems

We prove a general implicit function theorem for multifunctions with a metric estimate on the implicit multifunction and a characterization of its coderivative. Traditional open covering theorems, stability results, and sufficient conditions for a multifunction to be metrically regular or pseudo-Lipschitzian can be deduced from this implicit function theorem. We prove this implicit multifunction theorem by reducing it to an implicit function/solvability theorem for functions. This approach can also be used to prove the Robinson–Ursescu open mapping theorem. As a tool for this alternative proof of the Robinson–Ursescu theorem, we also establish a refined version of the multidirectional mean value inequality which is of independent interest.     

The Study of KKM Theorems With Applications to Vector Equilibrium Problems and Implict Vector Variational Inequalities Problems

In this paper, we establish some equivalence relations between coincidence theorems and KKM-type theorems. We also obtain some new coincidence theorems and fixed point theorems. Applying the KKM-type theorems we obtain the existence theorems of generalized vector equilibrium problems. From these results, some existence theorems of generalized vector implicit variational inequality problems are established in this paper.     

Point-based sufficient conditions for metric regularity of implicit multifunctions

We obtain some point-based sufficient conditions for the metric regularity in Robinson’s sense of implicit multifunctions in a finite-dimensional setting. The new implicit function theorem (which is very different from the preceding results of Ledyaev and Zhu [Yu.S. Ledyaev, Q.J. Zhu, Implicit multifunctions theorems, Set-Valued Anal. 7 (1999) 209–238], Ngai and Théra [H.V. Ngai, M. Théra, Error bounds and implicit multifunction theorem in smooth Banach spaces and applications to optimization, Set-Valued Anal. 12 (2004) 195–223], Lee, Tam and Yen [G.M. Lee, N.N. Tam, N.D. Yen, Normal coderivative for multifunctions and implicit function theorems, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 338 (2008) 11–22]) can be used for analyzing parametric constraint systems as well as parametric variational systems. Our main tools are the concept of normal coderivative due to Mordukhovich and the corresponding theory of generalized differentiation.     

广义非线性隐似变分不等式

A new class of generalized nonlinear implicit variational-like inequality problems （for short, GNIVLIP） in the setting of locally convex topological vector spaces is introduced and studied in this paper. Under suitable conditions, some existence theorems of solutions for （GNIVLIP） are presented by using some fixed point theorems.     

Implicit iterative algorithms for asymptotically nonexpansive mappings in the intermediate sense and Lipschitz-continuous monotone mappings

In this paper, we introduce some implicit iterative algorithms for finding a common element of the set of fixed points of an asymptotically nonexpansive mapping in the intermediate sense and the set of solutions of the variational inequality problem for a monotone, Lipschitz-continuous mapping. These implicit iterative algorithms are based on two well-known methods: extragradient and approximate proximal methods. We obtain some weak convergence theorems for these implicit iterative algorithms. Based on these theorems, we also construct some implicit iterative processes for finding a common fixed point of two mappings, such that one of these two mappings is taken from the more general class of Lipschitz pseudocontractive mappings and the other mapping is asymptotically nonexpansive.     

On generalized implicit vector variational inequality problems

In this paper, we introduce and study the generalized implicit vector variational inequality problems with set valued mappings in topological vector spaces. We establish existence theorems for the solution set of these problems be nonempty compact and convex. Our results extend the results by Fang and Huang [ Existence results for generalized implicit vector variational inequalities with multivalued mappings, Indian J. Pure and Appl. Math. 36(2005), 629–640.]     

A new class of alternative theorems for SOS-convex inequalities and robust optimization

In this paper, we present a new class of alternative theorems for SOS-convex inequality systems without any qualifications. This class of theorems provides an alternative equations in terms of sums of squares to the solvability of the given inequality system. A strong separation theorem for convex sets, described by convex polynomial inequalities, plays a key role in establishing the class of alternative theorems. Consequently, we show that the optimal values of various classes of robust convex optimization problems are equal to the optimal values of related semidefinite programming problems (SDPs) and so, the value of the robust problem can be found by solving a single SDP. The class of problems includes programs with SOS-convex polynomials under data uncertainty in the objective function such as uncertain quadratically constrained quadratic programs. The SOS-convexity is a computationally tractable relaxation of convexity for a real polynomial. We also provide an application of our theorem of the alternative to a multi-objective convex optimization under data uncertainty.     

Implicit functions from topological vector spaces to Banach spaces

We prove implicit function theorems for mappings on topological vector spaces over valued fields. In the real and complex cases, we obtain implicit function theorems for mappings from arbitrary (not necessarily locally convex) topological vector spaces to Banach spaces.     

Inexact implicit methods for monotone general variational inequalities

Solving a variational inequality problem is equivalent to finding a solution of a system of nonsmooth equations. Recently, we proposed an implicit method, which solves monotone variational inequality problem via solving a series of systems of nonlinear smooth (whenever the operator is smooth) equations. It can exploit the facilities of the classical Newton–like methods for smooth equations. In this paper, we extend the method to solve a class of general variational inequality problems Moreover, we improve the implicit method to allow inexact solutions of the systems of nonlinear equations at each iteration. The method is shown to preserve the same convergence properties as the original implicit method. Received July 31, 1995 / Revised version received January 15, 1999?

Existence Theorems for Systems of Generalized Vector Quasiequilibrium Problems and Optimization Problems

In this paper, we use existence theorems for the equilibria of generalized abstract economies proved recently to establish existence theorems for systems of generalized vector quasiequilibrium problems. Then, these existence theorems for equilibrium problems are used to derive existence theorems for systems of generalized vector quasivariational-like inequality problems, and vector quasioptimization problems.This research was supported by the National Science Council of the Republic of China.

On the existence of positive solution for second-order multi-points boundary value problems

Here we are concerned with the existence of positive solution for autonomous and nonautonomous second-order systems with multi-points boundary conditions. For nonautonomous systems we use the Schauder's fixed point theorem in a suitable Banach space, while for autonomous ones using fixed point theorems is usually useless because of the existence of trivial solution and for this we employed a method based on the implicit function theorem and topological degree. In order to verify the obtained results, we have considered some definite systems to verify the results numerically.     

Theorems of the Alternative for Inequality Systems of Real Polynomials

In this paper, we establish theorems of the alternative for inequality systems of real polynomials. For the real quadratic inequality system, we present two new results on the matrix decomposition, by which we establish two theorems of the alternative for the inequality system of three quadratic polynomials under an assumption that at least one of the involved forms be negative semidefinite. We also extend a theorem of the alternative to the case with a regular cone. For the inequality system of higher degree real polynomials, defined by even order tensors, a theorem of the alternative for the inequality system of two higher degree polynomials is established under suitable assumptions. As a byproduct, we give an equivalence result between two statements involving two higher degree polynomials. Based on this result, we investigate the optimality condition of a class of polynomial optimization problems under suitable assumptions.     

On a global implicit function theorem for locally Lipschitz maps via non-smooth critical point theory

We prove a non-smooth generalization of the global implicit function theorem. More precisely we use the non-smooth local implicit function theorem and the non-smooth critical point theory in order to prove a non-smooth global implicit function theorem for locally Lipschitz functions. A comparison between several global inversion theorems is discussed. Applications to algebraic equations are given.

A wide neighborhood primal-dual predictor-corrector interior-point method for symmetric cone optimization

Our aim in this paper is to introduce a modified viscosity implicit rule for finding a common element of the set of solutions of variational inequalities for two inverse-strongly monotone operators and the set of fixed points of an asymptotically nonexpansive mapping in Hilbert spaces. Some strong convergence theorems are obtained under some suitable assumptions imposed on the parameters. As an application, we give an algorithm to solve fixed point problems for nonexpansive mappings, variational inequality problems and equilibrium problems in Hilbert spaces. Finally, we give one numerical example to illustrate our convergence analysis.     

Existence of chaotic oscillations in second-order linear hyperbolic PDEs with implicit boundary conditions

This paper establishes rigorously mathematical theorems that guarantee the existence of chaotic oscillations in the systems of second-order linear hyperbolic PDEs. It separately considers the systems with nonlinear explicit boundary conditions (EBCs) and nonlinear implicit boundary conditions (IBCs) as well as those with such IBCs subjected to small perturbations, where IBCs include EBCs as special cases but the latter cannot in general be expressed by the former. Numerical examples are demonstrated to illustrate the effectiveness of theoretical results.     

Farkas-type Results for Max-functions and Applications

We present some Farkas-type results for inequality systems involving finitely many convex constraints as well as convex max-functions. Therefore we use the dual of a minmax optimization problem. The main theorem and its consequences allows us to establish, as particular instances, some set containment characterizations and to rediscover two famous theorems of the alternative.     

Minimax Theorems with Bregman Distance in Banach Spaces

Since Bregman distance is a generalized distance function which does not satisfy the triangle inequality nor symmetry, it is important to study minimax theorems in reflexive Banach spaces. Our minimax theorems differ from those in previous literature.     

Nonlinear,globally age-dependent population models: Some basic theory

Problems concerning the stability of the solution of systems of ordinary differential equations with impulse effect under persistent disturbances are investigated for the first time. Definitions for stability and unstability of the system considered are introduced. The main results are formulated in two theorems. In the proofs of the theorems a new analogue of the Gronwall-Belmann inequality for piecewise continuous functions is applied.
