چکیده

Consider a real-valued bifunction f defined on C×C, where C is a closed and convex subset of a Banach space X , which is concave in its first argument and convex in its second one. We study its subdifferential with respect to the second argument, evaluated at pairs of the form (x, x), and the subdifferential of −f with respect to its first argument, evaluated at the same pairs. We prove that if f vanishes whenever both arguments coincide, these operators are maximal monotone, under rather undemanding continuity assumptions on f . We also establish similar results under related assumptions on f , e.g. monotonicity and convexity in the second argument. These results were known for the case in which the Banach space is reflexive and C = X . Here we use a different approach, based upon a recently established sufficient condition for maximal monotonicity of operators, in order to cover the nonreflexive and constrained case (C 6= X). Our results have consequences in terms of the reformulation of equilibrium problems as variational inequality ones.

A Brøndsted-Rockafellar Theorem for Diagonal Subdifferential Operators

In this note we give a Brøndsted-Rockafellar Theorem for diagonal subdifferential operators in Banach spaces. To this end we apply an Ekeland-type variational principle for monotone bifunctions.

A proximal point method in nonreflexive Banach spaces

We propose an inexact version of the proximal point method and study its properties in nonreflexive Banach spaces which are duals of separable Banach spaces, both for the problem of minimizing convex functions and of finding zeroes of maximal monotone operators. By using surjectivity results for enlargements of maximal monotone operators, we prove existence of the iterates in both cases. Then w...

Monotone Operators without Enlargements

Enlargements have proven to be useful tools for studying maximally monotone mappings. It is therefore natural to ask in which cases the enlargement does not change the original mapping. Svaiter has recently characterized non-enlargeable operators in reflexive Banach spaces and has also given some partial results in the nonreflexive case. In the present paper, we provide another characterization...

On the surjectivity properties of perturbations of maximal monotone operators in non-reflexive Banach spaces

We are concerned with surjectivity of perturbations of maximal monotone operators in non-reflexive Banach spaces. While in a reflexive setting, a classical surjectivity result due to Rockafellar gives a necessary and sufficient condition to maximal monotonicity, in a nonreflexive space we characterize maximality using a “enlarged” version of the duality mapping, introduced previously by Gossez....

Nonlinear Elliptic Functional Equations in Nonreflexive Banach Spaces

If the coefficient functions Aa have at most polynomial growth in u and its derivatives, we have shown in [ l ] how existence theorems for solutions of variational boundary value problems for the equation A (u) —f may be obtained from monotonicity assumptions on the nonlinear Dirichlet form of A, with extensions to weaker ellipticity assumptions in [3], [4], [9], and [15]. These results extend ...
