  • the leray schauder approach to the Degree Theory for s perturbations of maximal monotone operators in separable reflexive banach spaces
    Nonlinear Analysis-theory Methods & Applications, 2009
    Co-Authors: Boubakari Ibrahimou, Athanassios G. Kartsatos
    Abstract:

    Abstract The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the fact that the topological Degree Theory of Leray and Schauder may be used for the development of the topological Degree Theory for bounded demicontinuous ( S + ) -perturbations f of strongly quasibounded maximal monotone operators T in separable reflexive Banach spaces. Certain basic homotopy properties and the extension of this Degree Theory to (possibly unbounded) strongly quasibounded perturbations f are shown to hold. This work uses the well known embedding of Browder and Ton, and extends the work of Berkovits who developed this Theory for the case T = 0 . Besides being an interesting mathematical problem, the existence of such a Degree Theory may, conceivably, become useful in situations where the use of the Leray–Schauder Degree (via infinite dimensional compactness) is necessary.

  • strongly quasibounded maximal monotone perturbations for the berkovits mustonen topological Degree Theory
    Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications, 2008
    Co-Authors: Dhruba R Adhikari, Athanassios G. Kartsatos
    Abstract:

    Abstract Let X be a real reflexive Banach space with dual X ∗ . Let L : X ⊃ D ( L ) → X ∗ be densely defined, linear and maximal monotone. Let T : X ⊃ D ( T ) → 2 X ∗ , with 0 ∈ D ( T ) and 0 ∈ T ( 0 ) , be strongly quasibounded and maximal monotone, and C : X ⊃ D ( C ) → X ∗ bounded, demicontinuous and of type ( S + ) w.r.t. D ( L ) . A new topological Degree Theory has been developed for the sum L + T + C . This Degree Theory is an extension of the Berkovits–Mustonen Theory (for T = 0 ) and an improvement of the work of Addou and Mermri (for T : X → 2 X ∗ bounded). Unbounded maximal monotone operators with 0 ∈ D ˚ ( T ) are strongly quasibounded and may be used with the new Degree Theory.

  • a new topological Degree Theory for densely defined s l perturbations of multivalued maximal monotone operators in reflexive separable banach spaces
    Nonlinear Analysis-theory Methods & Applications, 2008
    Co-Authors: Athanassios G. Kartsatos, Joseph Quarcoo
    Abstract:

    Abstract Let X be a real reflexive separable locally uniformly convex Banach space with locally uniformly convex dual space X ∗ . Let T : X ⊃ D ( T ) → 2 X ∗ be maximal monotone, with 0 ∈ D ∘ ( T ) and 0 ∈ T ( 0 ) , and C : X ⊃ D ( C ) → X ∗ . Assume that L ⊂ D ( C ) is a dense linear subspace of X , C is of class ( S + ) L , and 〈 C x , x 〉 ≥ − ψ ( ‖ x ‖ ) , x ∈ D ( C ) , where ψ : R + → R + is nondecreasing. A new topological Degree Theory is developed for the sum T + C . The current approach utilizes the “approximate” Degree d ( T t + C , G , 0 ) , t ↓ 0 , ( T t ≔ ( T − 1 + t J − 1 ) − 1 , G ⊂ X open and bounded) of Kartsatos and Skrypnik for the single-valued mapping T t + C . The subdifferential ∂ φ , for φ belonging to a large class of proper convex lower semicontinuous functions, gives rise to operators T to which this Degree Theory applies. A theoretical application to an existence problem of nonlinear analysis is included.

  • a new topological Degree Theory for densely defined quasibounded s perturbations of multivalued maximal monotone operators in reflexive banach spaces
    Abstract and Applied Analysis, 2005
    Co-Authors: Athanassios G. Kartsatos, I V Skrypnik
    Abstract:

    Let X be an infinite-dimensional real reflexive Banach space with dual space X ∗ and G ⊂ X open and bounded. Assume that X and X ∗ are locally uniformly convex. Let T : X ⊃ D ( T ) → 2 X ∗ be maximal monotone and C : X ⊃ D ( C ) → X ∗ quasibounded and of type ( S ˜ + ) . Assume that L ⊂ D ( C ) , where L is a dense subspace of X , and 0 ∈ T ( 0 ) . A new topological Degree Theory is introduced for the sum T + C . Browder's Degree Theory has thus been extended to densely defined perturbations of maximal monotone operators while results of Browder and Hess have been extended to various classes of single-valued densely defined generalized pseudomonotone perturbations C . Although the main results are of theoretical nature, possible applications of the new Degree Theory are given for several other theoretical problems in nonlinear functional analysis.

  • a Degree Theory for compact perturbations of monotone type operators and application to nonlinear parabolic problem
    Abstract and Applied Analysis, 2017
    Co-Authors: Teffera M Asfaw
    Abstract:

    Let be a real locally uniformly convex reflexive Banach space with locally uniformly convex dual space . Let be maximal monotone, be bounded and of type and be compact with such that lies in (i.e., there exist and such that for all ). A new topological Degree Theory is developed for operators of the type . The Theory is essential because no Degree Theory and/or existence result is available to address solvability of operator inclusions involving operators of the type , where is not defined everywhere. Consequently, new existence theorems are provided. The existence theorem due to Asfaw and Kartsatos is improved. The Theory is applied to prove existence of weak solution (s) for a nonlinear parabolic problem in appropriate Sobolev spaces.

  • a new topological Degree Theory for pseudomonotone perturbations of the sum of two maximal monotone operators and applications
    Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications, 2016
    Co-Authors: Teffera M Asfaw
    Abstract:

    Abstract Let X be a real reflexive locally uniformly convex Banach space with locally uniformly convex dual space X ⁎ and G be a nonempty, bounded and open subset of X. Let T : X ⊇ D ( T ) → 2 X ⁎ and A : X ⊇ D ( A ) → 2 X ⁎ be maximal monotone operators. Assume, further, that, for each y ∈ X , there exists a real number β ( y ) and there exists a strictly increasing function ϕ : [ 0 , ∞ ) → [ 0 , ∞ ) with ϕ ( 0 ) = 0 , ϕ ( t ) → ∞ as t → ∞ satisfying 〈 w ⁎ , x − y 〉 ≥ − ϕ ( ‖ x ‖ ) ‖ x ‖ − β ( y ) for all x ∈ D ( A ) , w ⁎ ∈ A x , and S : X → 2 X ⁎ is bounded of type ( S + ) or bounded pseudomonotone such that 0 ∉ ( T + A + S ) ( D ( T ) ∩ D ( A ) ∩ ∂ G ) or 0 ∉ ( T + A + S ) ( D ( T ) ∩ D ( A ) ∩ ∂ G ) ‾ , respectively. New Degree Theory is developed for operators of the type T + A + S with Degree mapping d ( T + A + S , G , 0 ) . The Degree is shown to be unique invariant under suitable homotopies. The Theory developed herein generalizes the Asfaw and Kartsatos Degree Theory for operators of the type T + S . New results on surjectivity and solvability of variational inequality problems are obtained. The mapping theorems extend the corresponding results for operators of type T + S . The Degree Theory developed herein is used to show existence of weak solution of nonlinear parabolic problem in appropriate Sobolev spaces.
