Vector-valued pseudo almost periodic functions

Vector-valued pseudo almost periodic functions are defined and their properties are investigated. The vector-valued functions contain many known functions as special cases. A unique decomposition theorem is given to show that a vector-valued pseudo almost periodic function is a sum of an almost periodic function and an ergodic perturbation.     

Scalar characterizations of weakly cone-convex and weakly cone-quasiconvex functions

The principal aim of this paper is to show that weakly cone-convex vector-valued functions, as well as weakly cone-quasiconvex vector-valued functions, can be characterized in terms of usual weakly convexity and weakly quasiconvexity of certain real-valued functions, defined by means of the extreme directions of the polar cone or by Gerstewitz’s scalarization functions.

Approximate subgradients and coderivatives in R n

We show that in two dimensions or higher, the Mordukhovich-Ioffe approximate subdifferential and Clarke subdifferential may differ almost everywhere for real-valued Lipschitz functions. Uncountably many Fréchet differentiable vector-valued Lipschitz functions differing by more than constants can share the same Mordukhovich-Ioffe coderivatives. Moreover, the approximate Jacobian associated with the Mordukhovich-Ioffe coderivative can be nonconvex almost everywhere for Fréchet differentiable vector-valued Lipschitz functions. Finally we show that for vector-valued Lipschitz functions the approximate Jacobian associated with the Mordukhovich-Ioffe coderivative can be almost everywhere disconnected.

空间（Lμ^p）^m的弱Banach-Saks性质

证明了由m个Lμp空间产生的Banach向量空间（Lμp）m的弱Banach-Saks性质,其中m是自然数, 1 p 〈＋∞.当m= 1时,这就是著名的Banach-Saks-Szlenk定理.运用该性质,还给出了定义在向量空间Rm的一个凸集上的非负连续凸函数与取值在空间（Lpμ）m的一个弱紧子集中的向量值函数的复合函数的积分不等式.当这些向量值函数属于由m个Lμ∞空间产生的积空间（Lμ∞）m的一个弱＊紧子集时,类似的积分不等式还是成立的.     

Essential components of the set of weakly Pareto-Nash equilibrium points

In this paper, we first give a generalization of Ky Fan's inequality to vector-valued functions. We prove that, for every vector-valued function (satisfying some continuity and convexity conditions), there exists at least one essential component of the set of its Ky Fan's points. As applications, we show that, for every multiobjective game (satisfying some continuity and convexity conditions), there exists at least one essential component of the set of its weakly Pareto-Nash equilibrium points.     

Free energies of the Potts model on a Cayley tree

For the Potts model on the Cayley tree, we obtain some explicit formulas for the free energies and entropies in the case of vector-valued boundary conditions. These formulas include translation-invariant, periodic, and Dobrushin-like boundary conditions and also those corresponding to weakly periodic Gibbs measures.

A nonintersection property for extremals of variational problems with vector-valued functions

In this work we study the structure of extremals of variational problems with vector-valued functions on [0,∞). We show that if an extremal is not periodic, then the corresponding curve in the phase space does not intersect itself.     

On continuity properties of some classes of vector-valued functions

We extend the V BG* property to the context of vector-valued functions and give some characterizations of this property. Necessary and sufficient conditions for vector-valued VBG* functions to be continuous or weakly continuous, except at most on a countable set, are obtained.     

Weak almost periodicity and the strong ergodic limit theorem for contraction semigroups

We show that if (S(t)) _t≧0 is a contraction semigroup on a closed convex subset of a uniformly convex Banach space, then every bounded and “asymptotically isometric” almost-orbit of (S(t)) _t≧0 is weakly almost periodic in the sense of Eberlein. As one consequence, results on the existence of almost periodic solutions to the abstract Cauchy problem are obtained without the need fora priori compactness assumptions. As a further consequence, the known strong ergodic limit theorems for (almost-) orbits of nonlinear contraction semigroups turn out to be special cases of Eberlein’s classical ergodic theorem for weakly almost periodic functions.     

Lagrangian Duality and Cone Convexlike Functions

In this paper, we consider first the most important classes of cone convexlike vector-valued functions and give a dual characterization for some of these classes. It turns out that these characterizations are strongly related to the closely convexlike and Ky Fan convex bifunctions occurring within minimax problems. Applying the Lagrangian perturbation approach, we show that some of these classes of cone convexlike vector-valued functions show up naturally in verifying strong Lagrangian duality for finite-dimensional optimization problems. This is achieved by extending classical convexity results for biconjugate functions to the class of so-called almost convex functions. In particular, for a general class of finite-dimensional optimization problems, strong Lagrangian duality holds if some vector-valued function related to this optimization problem is closely K-convexlike and satisfies some additional regularity assumptions. For K a full-dimensional convex cone, it turns out that the conditions for strong Lagrangian duality simplify. Finally, we compare the results obtained by the Lagrangian perturbation approach worked out in this paper with the results achieved by the so-called image space approach initiated by Giannessi.     

On quasi-weakly almost periodic points

The core problem of dynamical systems is to study the asymptotic behaviors of orbits and their topological structures. It is well known that the orbits with certain recurrence and generating ergodic (or invariant) measures are important, such orbits form a full measure set for all invariant measures of the system, its closure is called the measure center of the system. To investigate this set, Zhou introduced the notions of weakly almost periodic point and quasi-weakly almost periodic point in 1990s, and presented some open problems on complexity of discrete dynamical systems in 2004. One of the open problems is as follows: for a quasi-weakly almost periodic point but not weakly almost periodic, is there an invariant measure generated by its orbit such that the support of this measure is equal to its minimal center of attraction (a closed invariant set which attracts its orbit statistically for every point and has no proper subset with this property)? Up to now, the problem remains open. In this paper, we construct two points in the one-sided shift system of two symbols, each of them generates a sub-shift system. One gives a positive answer to the question above, the other answers in the negative. Thus we solve the open problem completely. More important, the two examples show that a proper quasi-weakly almost periodic orbit behaves very differently with weakly almost periodic orbit.     

Elliptic operators and maximal regularity on periodic little-H?lder spaces

We consider one-dimensional inhomogeneous parabolic equations with higher-order elliptic differential operators subject to periodic boundary conditions. In our main result we show that the property of continuous maximal regularity is satisfied in the setting of periodic little-H?lder spaces, provided the coefficients of the differential operator satisfy minimal regularity assumptions. We address parameter-dependent elliptic equations, deriving invertibility and resolvent bounds which lead to results on generation of analytic semigroups. We also demonstrate that the techniques and results of the paper hold for elliptic differential operators with operator-valued coefficients, in the setting of vector-valued functions.     

Weak convergence and weak compactness in the space of almost periodic functions on the real line

We give necessary and sufficient conditions for sequences in the space AP(R) of continuous almost periodic functions on the real line to converge in the weak topology. The abstract results are illustrated by a number of examples which show that weak convergence seems to be a rare phenomenon. We also characterize the weakly compact subsets in AP(R). In particular, earlier statements made in the monograph by Dunford and Schwartz are refined and completed. We close with some open problems.     

On the set of weakly efficient minimizers for convex multiobjective programming

In this paper by employing an asymptotic approach we develop an existence and stability theory for convex multiobjective programming. We deal with the set of weakly efficient minimizers. To this end we employ a notion of convergence for vector-valued functions close to that due to Lemaire.     

拟弱几乎周期点的等价定义与系统的混沌性

1992年, 周作领引进了弱几乎周期点这一概念. 1995年, 周和何伟弘又引进了拟弱几乎周期点这个概念, 并利用它们深刻地刻画了一个动力系统的本质所在. 为了更好地看出这两者的区别,首先从回复时间集的角度给出拟弱几乎周期点的等价定义,然后研究了一个存在真的拟弱几乎周期点的系统的混沌情况,得到了这样的系统是Takens-Ruelle混沌的.     

Uniform weak implies uniform strong persistence for non-autonomous semiflows

It is shown that, under two additional assumptions, uniformly weakly persistent semiflows are also uniformly strongly persistent even if they are non-autonomous. This result is applied to a time-heterogeneous model of S-I-R-S type for the spread of infectious childhood diseases. If some of the parameter functions are almost periodic, an almost sharp threshold result is obtained for uniform strong endemicity versus extinction.
