Approximation of common fixed points for finite families of nonself asymptotically nonexpansive mappings in Banach spaces

Let E be a real uniformly convex Banach space, K be a closed convex nonempty subset of E which is also a nonexpansive retract with retraction P. Let be asymptotically nonexpansive mappings of K into E with sequences (respectively) satisfying kin→1 as n→∞, i=1,2,…,m, and . Let be a sequence in [?,1−?],?∈(0,1), for each i∈{1,2,…,m} (respectively). Let {xn} be a sequence generated for m?2 by

     

Harmoniques Sphériques et Représentations Irréductibles de O ( ∞ )

We build an irreducible unitary representation of SO( ) from the usual one of SO( n ) in the space of harmonic homogeneous polynomials of degree m of ⁿ . We give a characterization of these new representations which extends in a natural way the finite dimensional characterization. In the particular case of SO( ), we thus get some results of Olshanskii (cf. [12]). This leads to a new proof of McKean conjecture about irreducible representations of ( infin ) (cf. [10]).     

On a Primal-Dual Analytic Center Cutting Plane Method for Variational Inequalities

We present an algorithm for variational inequalities VI( , Y) that uses a primal-dual version of the Analytic Center Cutting Plane Method. The point-to-set mapping is assumed to be monotone, or pseudomonotone. Each computation of a new analytic center requires at most four Newton iterations, in theory, and in practice one or sometimes two. Linear equalities that may be included in the definition of the set Y are taken explicitly into account.We report numerical experiments on several well—known variational inequality problems as well as on one where the functional results from the solution of large subproblems. The method is robust and competitive with algorithms which use the same information as this one.     

On some Fermat rules for set-valued optimization problems

The aim of this article is to obtain necessary optimality conditions for Pareto minima in set-valued optimization problems. We employ a new method to derive generalized Fermat rules for set-valued optimization. This method is based on openness results for multifunctions and allows recovery of a large number of results and, at the same time, getting several new ones.     

Generalized Variational-Like Inequalities with Nonmonotone Set-Valued Mappings

In this paper, we introduce a new class of generalized variational-like inequalities involving a nonmonotone-type set-valued mapping which is more general than those in the known literature. By applying a KKM-type theorem established by the author, some existence theorems for the solutions to the class of generalized variational-like inequalities are proved in Hausdorff locally convex topological vector spaces.     

Pseudo-monotone complementarity problems in Hilbert space

In this paper, some existence results for a nonlinear complementarity problem involving a pseudo-monotone mapping over an arbitrary closed convex cone in a real Hilbert space are established. In particular, some known existence results for a nonlinear complementarity problem in a finite-dimensional Hilbert space are generalized to an infinite-dimensional real Hilbert space. Applications to a class of nonlinear complementarity problems and the study of the post-critical equilibrium state of a thin elastic plate subjected to unilateral conditions are given.This research was partially supported by the National Science Foundation Grant DMS-89-13089, Department of Energy Grant DE-FG03-87-ER-25028, and Office of Naval Research Grant N00014-89-J-1659.

Boundary Behavior of Harmonic Functions for Truncated Stable Processes

For any α∈(0,2), a truncated symmetric α-stable process in ℝ ^d is a symmetric Lévy process in ℝ ^d with no diffusion part and with a Lévy density given by c|x|^−d−α 1_{|x|<1} for some constant c. In (Kim and Song in Math. Z. 256(1): 139–173, [2007]) we have studied the potential theory of truncated symmetric stable processes. Among other things, we proved that the boundary Harnack principle is valid for the positive harmonic functions of this process in any bounded convex domain and showed that the Martin boundary of any bounded convex domain with respect to this process is the same as the Euclidean boundary. However, for truncated symmetric stable processes, the boundary Harnack principle is not valid in non-convex domains. In this paper, we show that, for a large class of not necessarily convex bounded open sets in ℝ ^d called bounded roughly connected κ-fat open sets (including bounded non-convex κ-fat domains), the Martin boundary with respect to any truncated symmetric stable process is still the same as the Euclidean boundary. We also show that, for truncated symmetric stable processes a relative Fatou type theorem is true in bounded roughly connected κ-fat open sets. The research of P.

Iterative solving of variational inclusions under Wijsman perturbations

We prove that the metric regularity of set-valued mappings is stable under some Wijsman-type perturbations. Then, we solve a variational inclusion viewed as a limit-problem using assumptions on a sequence of associated problems. Finally, we apply our results to classical methods for solving variational inclusions.      

Landau's theorem for biharmonic mappings

In this paper, we show the existence of Landau constant for biharmonic mappings of the form F(z)=²|z|G(z)+K(z), |z|<1, where G and K are harmonic.     

Minimal surfaces over stars

A JS surface is a minimal graph over a polygonal domain that becomes infinite in magnitude at the domain boundary. Jenkins and Serrin characterized the existence of these minimal graphs in terms of the signs of the boundary values and the side-lengths of the polygon. For a convex polygon, there can be essentially only one JS surface, but a non-convex domain may admit several distinct JS surfaces. We consider two families of JS surfaces corresponding to different boundary values, namely JS₀ and JS₁, over domains in the form of regular stars. We give parameterizations for these surfaces as lifts of harmonic maps, and observe that all previously constructed JS surfaces have been of type JS₀. We give an example of a JS₁ surface that is a new complete embedded minimal surface generalizing Scherk's doubly periodic surface, and show also that the JS₀ surface over a regular convex 2n-gon is the limit of JS₁ surfaces over non-convex stars. Finally we consider the construction of other JS surfaces over stars that belong neither to JS₀ nor to JS₁.
