We introduce the concept of mixed (G,S)-monotone mappings and prove coupled coincidence point theorems for such mappings satisfying a nonlinear contraction involving altering distance functions. Presented theorems extend, improve and generalize the recent results of Harjani, López and Sadarangani [J. Harjani, B. López and K. Sadarangani, Fixed point theorems for mixed monotone operators and app...

In a recent paper in Journal of Convex Analysis the authors studied, in non-reflexive Banach spaces, a class of maximal monotone operators, characterized by the existence of a function in Fitzpatrick’s family of the operator which conjugate is above the duality product. This property was used to prove that such operators satisfies a restricted version of Brøndsted-Rockafellar property. In this ...

A family F ⊆ 2[n] saturates the monotone decreasing property P if F satisfies P and one cannot add any set to F such that property P is still satisfied by the resulting family. We address the problem of finding the minimum size of a family saturating the k-Sperner property and the minimum size of a family that saturates the Sperner property and that consists only of l-sets and (l + 1)-sets.

We first consider an auxiliary problem for the generalized mixed vector equilibrium problem with a relaxed monotone mapping and prove the existence and uniqueness of the solution for the auxiliary problem. We then introduce a new iterative scheme for approximating a common element of the set of solutions of a generalized mixed vector equilibrium problem with a relaxed monotone mapping and the s...

In this article we study graph-distance convergence of monotone operators. First, we prove a property that has been an open problem up to now: the limit of a sequence of graph-distance convergent maximal monotone operators in a Hilbert space is a maximal monotone operator. Next, we show that a sequence of maximal monotone operators converging in the same sense in a reflexive Banach space is uni...

The theory of monotone dynamical systems has been found very useful in the modeling of some gene, protein, and signaling networks. In monotone systems, every net feedback loop is positive. On the other hand, negative feedback loops are important features of many systems, since they are required for adaptation and precision. This paper shows that, provided that these negative loops act at a comp...

In this paper connectedness is studied in weaker (monotone, quasi-directed) spaces and we examine sets having the ending property (e.p.). 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 54A99, 54C05

A square matrix is said to have property n if there exists a positive integer w such that Aw nonnegative. In this paper, we study the core-EP monotonicity for property-n matrices. Some necessary and sufficient conditions be monotone are given. Moreover, condition real nonnegative inverse also presented.
