The Schauder conjecture that every continuous single-valued map from a compact convex subset of a topological vector space into itself has a fixed point was stated in [12, Problem 54]. In a recent year, Cauty [2] gave a positive answer to this question by a very complicated approximation factorization. Very recently, Dobrowolski [3] established Cauty’s proof in a more accessible form by using t...

The study of set differential equations has been initiated as an independent subject and several results of interest can be found in [4–5, 10–12, 14]. The interesting feature of the set differential equations is that the results obtained in this new framework become the corresponding results of ordinary differential equations as the Hukuhara derivative and the integral used in formulating the s...

We discuss a model of a conformal p-brane interacting with the world volume metric and connection. The purpose of the model is to suggest a mechanism by which gravity coupled to p-branes leads to the formation of structure rather than homogeneity in spacetime. Furthermore, we show that the formation of structure is accompanied by the appearance of a multivalued cosmological constant, i.e., one ...

Even before any numerical considerations are confronted, we run into difficulties simply in specifying a coordinate system. It is important to distinguish between true scalarvalued and vector-valued functions. The value of a scalar function, say temperature, is independent of coordinate system. That is, the temperature at some point in space is the same regardless of how we define the position ...

In a real separable Hilbert space, we consider nonautonomous evolution equations including time-dependent subdifferentials and their nonmonotone multivalued perturbations. In this paper, we treat the multivalued dynamical systems associated with time-dependent subdifferentials, in which the solution is not unique for a given initial state. In particular, we discuss the asymptotic behaviour of o...

We study connectivity preserving multivalued functions [10] between digital images. This notion generalizes that of continuous multivalued functions [6, 7] studied mostly in the setting of the digital plane Z. We show that connectivity preserving multivalued functions, like continuous multivalued functions, are appropriate models for digital morpholological operations. Connectivity preservation...
