Each lower semi-continuous proper convex function f on a Banach space E defines a certain multivalued mapping of from E to E* called the subdifferential of f. It is shown here that the mappings arising this way are precisely the ones whose graphs are maximal "cyclically monotone" relations on Ex E*, and that each of these is also a maximal monotone relation. Furthermore, it is proved that of de...

In this paper, we describe some topological properties of dualistic partial metric spaces and establish some fixed point theorems for weak contraction mappings of rational type defined on dual partial metric spaces. These results are generalizations of some existing results in the literature. Moreover, we present examples to illustrate our result.

In this paper we define weak $F$-contractions on a‎ ‎metric space into itself by extending $F$-contractions‎ ‎introduced by D‎. ‎Wardowski (2012) and provide some fixed point‎ ‎results in complete metric spaces and in partially ordered complete ‎generalized metric spaces‎. ‎Some relationships between weak‎ ‎$F$-contractions and $Fi$-contractions are highlighted‎. ‎We also ‎give some application...

A Lefschetz-type coincidence theorem for two maps f, g : X → Y from an arbitrary topological space to a manifold is given: Ifg = λfg , that is, the coincidence index is equal to the Lefschetz number. It follows that if λfg 6= 0 then there is an x ∈ X such that f(x) = g(x). In particular, the theorem contains well-known coincidence results for (i) X,Y manifolds, f boundary-preserving, and (ii) Y...

The present paper studies some common fixed-point theorems for pairs of a single-valued and a multivalued coincidentally commuting mappings in D-metric spaces satisfying a certain generalized contraction condition. Our result generalizes more than a dozen known fixed-point theorems in D-metric spaces including those of Dhage (2000) and Rhoades (1996). 1. Introduction. The concept of a D-metric ...

We introduce a class of projection-contraction methods for solving a class of general random implicit quasi-variational inequalities with random multivalued mappings in Hilbert spaces, construct some random iterative algorithms, and give some existence theorems of random solutions for this class of general random implicit quasi-variational inequalities. We also discuss the convergence and stabi...

In this paper, we introduce the notion of weak $psi$-quasi contraction in generalized metric spaces and using this notion we obtain conditions for the existence of fixed points of a self map in $D$-complete generalized metric spaces. We deduce some corollaries from our result and provide examples in support of our main result.

Using the theory of uniform global attractors of multivalued semiprocesses, we prove the existence of a uniform global attractor for a nonautonomous semilinear degenerate parabolic equation in which the conditions imposed on the nonlinearity provide the global existence of a weak solution, but not uniqueness. The Kneser property of solutions is also studied, and as a result we obtain the connec...
