Strong convergence theorems for multi-step Noor iterations with errors in Banach spaces

In this paper, we established two strong convergence theorems for a multi-step Noor iterative scheme with errors for mappings of asymptotically nonexpansive in the intermediate sense(asymptotically quasi-nonexpansive, respectively) in Banach spaces. Our results extend and improve the recent ones announced by Xu and Noor [B.L. Xu, M.A. Noor, Fixed-point iterations for asymptotically nonexpansive mappings in Banach spaces, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 267 (2002) 444-453], Cho, Zhou and Guo [Y.J. Cho, H. Zhou, G. Guo, Weak and strong convergence theorems for three-step iterations with errors for asymptotically nonexpansive mappings, Comput. Math. Appl. 47 (2004) 707-717], and many others.     

Strong convergence theorems for a countable family of quasi-Lipschitzian mappings and its applications

We use the hybrid method in mathematical programming to obtain strong convergence to common fixed points of a countable family of quasi-Lipschitzian mappings. As a consequence, several convergence theorems for quasi-nonexpansive mappings and asymptotically κ-strict pseudo-contractions are deduced. We also establish strong convergence of iterative sequences for finding a common element of the set of fixed point, the set of solutions of an equilibrium problem, and the set of solutions of a variational inequality. With an appropriate setting, we obtain the corresponding results due to Tada-Takahashi and Nakajo-Shimoji-Takahashi.     

A variant smoothing Newton method for P0-NCP based on a new smoothing function

In this paper, we present a new one-step smoothing Newton method proposed for solving the non-linear complementarity problem with _P0$P_0$-function based on a new smoothing NCP$NCP$-function. We adopt a variant merit function. Our algorithm needs only to solve one linear system of equations and perform one line search per iteration. It shows that any accumulation point of the iteration sequence generated by our algorithm is a solution of _P0-NCP$P_0\text{-}NCP$. Furthermore, under the assumption that the solution set is non-empty and bounded, we can guarantee at least one accumulation point of the generated sequence. Numerical experiments show the feasibility and efficiency of the algorithm.     

Approximations for nonlinear mappings by the hybrid method in Hilbert spaces

The hybrid method in mathematical programming was introduced by Haugazeau (1968) [1] and he proved a strong convergence theorem for finding a common element of finite nonempty closed convex subsets of a real Hilbert space. Later, Bauschke and Combettes (2001) [2] proposed some condition for a family of mappings (the so-called coherent condition) and established interesting results by the hybrid method. The authors (Nakajo et al., 2009) [10] extended Bauschke and Combettes’s results. In this paper, we introduce a condition weaker than the coherent condition and prove strong convergence theorems which generalize the results of Nakajo et al. (2009) [10]. And we get strong convergence theorems for a family of asymptotically κ-strict pseudo-contractions, a family of Lipschitz and pseudo-contractive mappings and a one-parameter uniformly Lipschitz semigroup of pseudo-contractive mappings.     

Nonlinear stability of traveling wave solutions for the compressible fluid models of Korteweg type

This paper is concerned with the existence and time-asymptotic nonlinear stability of traveling wave solutions to the Cauchy problem of the one-dimensional compressible fluid models of Korteweg type, which governs the motions of the compressible fluids with internal capillarity. The existence of traveling wave solutions is obtained by the phase plane analysis, then the traveling wave solution is shown to be asymptotically stable by the elementary L²$L^2$-energy method.

Well-posedness and time-decay for compressible viscoelastic fluids in critical Besov space

In this paper, we construct local solution with highly oscillating initial velocity and then get the global strong solution in the L^p$L^p$ based Besov space which improves the result of J. Qian, Z. Zhang (2010) [25] and X. Hu, D. Wang (2011) [14]. The local existence and uniqueness lies on the Lagrange coordinate transform and the contraction mapping theorem. The global result lies on a decomposition of the system and some commutator estimates. In the last part, we prove a time-decay in the critical Besov space framework which seems to have little investigation. The proof is based on the properties of the Green's matrix and various interpolations between Besov type spaces.     

Strong convergence of an iterative algorithm for an infinite family of strict pseudo-contractions in Banach spaces

In this paper, we introduce a new W-mapping and present an iterative algorithm for an infinite family of strict pseudo-contractions. Strong convergence theorems are proved in Banach spaces. Our results improve and extend the corresponding result announced by Cai and Hu [G. Cai, C. Hu, Strong convergence theorems of modified Ishikawa iterative process with errors for an infinite family of strict pseudo-contractions, Nonlinear Anal. 71(12) (2009) 6044-6053].     

On symmetric and locally finite actions of groups on the quintic tree

In this paper, we determine all faithful, symmetric and locally finite actions of a group on the tree of valency five. As a corollary we complete the classification of the isomorphism types of vertex and edge stabilisers in a group acting symmetrically on a graph of valency five. This builds on work of Weiss and recent work of Feng, Zhou and Feng, Guo. Our approach is to classify the isomorphism types of finite, faithful amalgams of degree (5, 2).

Generalized vector variational inequalities with star-pseudomonotone and discontinuous operators

It is well known that a vector variational inequality can be a very efficient model for use in studying vector optimization problems. By using the Ky Fan fixed point theorem and the scalarization method we will prove some existence theorems for strong solutions for generalized vector variational inequalities where discontinuous and star-pseudomonotone operators are involved. Our results can be applied to the study of the existence of solutions of vector optimal problems. Some examples are given and analyzed.     

Strong convergence of composite iterative schemes for zeros of m-accretive operators in Banach spaces

We introduce a new composite iterative scheme to approximate a zero of an m$m$-accretive operator A$A$ defined on uniform smooth Banach spaces and a reflexive Banach space having a weakly continuous duality map. It is shown that the iterative process in each case converges strongly to a zero of A$A$. The results presented in this paper substantially improve and extend the results due to Ceng et al. [L.C. Ceng, H.K. Xu, J.C. Yao, Strong convergence of a hybrid viscosity approximation method with perturbed mappings for nonexpansive and accretive operators, Taiwanese J. Math. (in press)], Kim and Xu [T.H. Kim, H.K. Xu, Strong convergence of modified Mann iterations, Nonlinear Anal. 61 (2005) 51–60] and Xu [H.K. Xu, Strong convergence of an iterative method for nonexpansive and accretive operators, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 314 (2006) 631–643]. Our work provides a new approach for the construction of a zero of m$m$-accretive operators.

Some generalizations of Ekeland-type variational principle with applications to equilibrium problems and fixed point theory

In this paper, we introduce the concept of a Q$Q$-function defined on a quasi-metric space which generalizes the notion of a τ$\tau$-function and a w$w$-distance. We establish Ekeland-type variational principles in the setting of quasi-metric spaces with a Q$Q$-function. We also present an equilibrium version of the Ekeland-type variational principle in the setting of quasi-metric spaces with a Q$Q$-function. We prove some equivalences of our variational principles with Caristi–Kirk type fixed point theorems for multivalued maps, the Takahashi minimization theorem and some other related results. As applications of our results, we derive existence results for solutions of equilibrium problems and fixed point theorems for multivalued maps. We also extend the Nadler’s fixed point theorem for multivalued maps to a Q$Q$-function and in the setting of complete quasi-metric spaces. As a consequence, we prove the Banach contraction theorem for a Q$Q$-function and in the setting of complete quasi-metric spaces. The results of this paper extend and generalize many results appearing recently in the literature.     

Strong convergence theorems for a family of quasi-asymptotic pseudo-contractions in Hilbert spaces

In the present paper, we propose two kinds of new algorithms for a family of quasi-asymptotic pseudo-contractions in real Hilbert spaces. By using the proposed algorithms, we prove several strong convergence theorems for a family of quasi-asymptotic pseudo-contractions. The results of this paper are interesting extensions of those known results.     

A converse comparison theorem for anticipated BSDEs and related non-linear expectations

The converse comparison theorem has received much attention in the theory of backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs). However, no such theorem has been proved for anticipated BSDEs. In this paper, we derive a converse comparison theorem by first giving an existence and uniqueness theorem for adapted solutions of anticipated BSDEs with a stopping time and then related to (f,δ)$(f,\delta )$-expectations induced by anticipated BSDEs.     

Rao’s statistic for constant and proportional hazard models

In this paper we introduce a new family of measures of divergence for the analysis of the degree of departure from a model with a constant hazard function and also for comparing if two models have proportional hazard rates. Our family of measures is based on the family of divergences introduced by Burbea and Rao (see [J. Burbea, C.R. Rao, On the convexity of higher order Jensen differences based on entropy functions, IEEE Transactions on Information Theory 28 (1982) 961–963]). Some well-known sets of data are reanalyzed using the new families of test statistics and confidence intervals introduced in this paper.
