LetXbe a real locally uniformly convex reflexive Banach space with locally uniformly convex dual spaceX⁎. LetT:X⊇D(T)→2X⁎andA:X⊇D(A)→2X⁎be maximal monotone operators. The maximality of the sum of two maximal monotone operators has been an open problem for many years. In this paper, new maximality theorems are proved forT+Aunder weaker sufficient conditions. These theorems improved the well-known maximality results of Rockafellar who used conditionD(T)∘∩D(A)≠∅and Browder and Hess who used the quasiboundedness ofTand condition0∈D(T)∩D(A). In particular, the maximality ofT+∂ϕis proved provided thatD(T)∘∩D(ϕ)≠∅, whereϕ:X→(-∞,∞]is a proper, convex, and lower semicontinuous function. Consequently, an existence theorem is proved addressing solvability of evolution type variational inequality problem for pseudomonotone perturbation of maximal monotone operator.

In a recent paper, Fitzpatrick and Phelps introduced a new class of operators on a Banach space, the locally maximal monotone operators, and showed that this kind of operator can be approximated by a sequence of nicer maximal monotone operators. We give here an affirmative answer to a question posed in this paper: is the subdifferential of a proper convex lower semicontinuous function necessarily locally maximal monotone? Since a locally maximal operator is maximal monotone, our result represents a strengthening of Rockafellar's maximal monotonicity theorem.

We are interested in constructing a topological degree for operators of the formF=L+A+S, whereLis a linear densely defined maximal monotone map,Ais a bounded maximal monotone operators, andSis a bounded demicontinuous map of class(S+)with respect to the domain ofL. By means of this topological degree we prove an existence result that will be applied to give a new formulation of a parabolic variational inequality problem.

The purpose of this paper is to propose an iterative algorithm for solving the split equality common null point problem (SECNP), which is to find an element of the set of common zero points for a finite family of maximal monotone operators in Hilbert spaces. We introduce the concept of bounded linear regularity for the SECNP and construct several sufficient conditions to ensure the linear convergence of the algorithm. Moreover, some numerical experiments are given to test the validity of our results.

We introduce a new algorithm to approximate a solution of split variational inclusion problems of multivalued maximal monotone operators in uniformly convex and uniformly smooth Banach spaces under the Bregman distance. A strong convergence theorem for the above problem is established and several important known results are deduced as corollaries to it. As application, we solve a split minimization problem and provide a numerical example to support better findings of our result.

The subdifferential mapping associated with a proper, convex lower semicontinuous function on a real Banach space is always a special kind of maximal monotone operator. Specifically, it is always “strongly maximal monotone” and of “type (ANA)”. In an attempt to find maximal monotone operators that do not satisfy these properties, we investigate (possibly discontinuous) maximal monotone linear operators from a subspace of a (possibly nonreflexive) real Banach space into its dual. Such a linear mapping is always “strongly maximal monotone”, but we are only able to prove that is of “type (ANA)” when it is continuous or surjective — the situation in general is unclear. In fact, every surjective linear maximal monotone operator is of “type (NA)”, a more restrictive condition than “type (ANA)”, while the zero operator, which is both continuous and linear and also a subdifferential, is never of “type (NA)” if the underlying space is not reflexive. We examine some examples based on the properties of derivatives.

AbstractLet X be an infinite-dimensional real reflexive Banach space such that X and its dual X* are locally uniformly convex. Suppose that T: X⊃D(T) → 2X* is a maximal monotone multi-valued operator and C: X⊃D(C) → X* is a generalized pseudomonotone quasibounded operator with L ⊂ D(C), where L is a dense subspace of X. Applying a recent degree theory of Kartsatos and Skrypnik, we establish the existence of an eigensolution to the nonlinear inclusion 0 ∈ T x + λ C x, with a regularization method by means of the duality operator. Moreover, possible branches of eigensolutions to the above inclusion are discussed. Furthermore, we give a surjectivity result about the operator λT + C when λ is not an eigenvalue for the pair (T, C), T being single-valued and densely defined.

We introduce a new hybrid iterative scheme for finding a common element of the set of common fixed points of two countable families of relatively quasi-nonexpansive mappings, the set of the variational inequality, the set of solutions of the generalized mixed equilibrium problem, and zeros of maximal monotone operators in a Banach space. We obtain a strong convergence theorem for the sequences generated by this process in a 2-uniformly convex and uniformly smooth Banach space. The results obtained in this paper improve and extend the result of Zeng et al. (2010) and many others.

The purpose of this paper is to present two iterative schemes based on the relative resolvent and the generalized resolvent, respectively. And, it is shown that the iterative schemes converge weakly to common solutions for two finite families of maximal monotone operators in a real smooth and uniformly convex Banach space and one example is demonstrated to explain that some assumptions in the main results are meaningful, which extend the corresponding works by some authors.

Two countable families of hemirelatively nonexpansive mappings are considered based on a hybrid projection algorithm. Strong convergence theorems of iterative sequences are obtained in an uniformly convex and uniformly smooth Banach space. As applications, convex feasibility problems, equilibrium problems, variational inequality problems, and zeros of maximal monotone operators are studied.
