Monotone Linear Relations: Maximality and Fitzpatrick Functions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We analyze and characterize maximal monotonicity of linear relations (set-valued operators with linear graphs). An important tool in our study are Fitzpatrick functions. The results obtained partially extend work on linear and at most single-valued operators by Phelps and Simons and by Bauschke, Borwein and Wang. Furthermore, a description of skew linear relations in terms of the Fitzpatrick family is obtained. We also answer one of Simons’ problems by showing that if a maximal monotone operator has a convex graph, then this graph must actually be affine. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary 47A06, 47H05; Secondary 26B25, 47A05, 49N15, 52A41, 90C25.

On the Maximal Extensions of Monotone Operators and Criteria for Maximality
Within a nonzero, real Banach space we study the problem of characterising a maximal extension of a monotone operator in terms of minimality properties of representative functions that are bounded by the Penot and Fitzpatrick functions. We single out a property of this space of representative functions that enable a very compact treatment of maximality and pre-maximality issues. This Paper is D...
متن کاملThe Brézis-Browder Theorem revisited and properties of Fitzpatrick functions of order n
In this note, we study maximal monotonicity of linear relations (set-valued operators with linear graphs) on reflexive Banach spaces. We provide a new and simpler proof of a result due to BrézisBrowder which states that a monotone linear relation with closed graph is maximal monotone if and only if its adjoint is monotone. We also study Fitzpatrick functions and give an explicit formula for Fit...
متن کاملMaximality of Sums of Two Maximal Monotone Operators in General Banach Space
We combine methods from convex analysis, based on a function of Simon Fitzpatrick, with a fine recent idea due to Voisei, to prove maximality of the sum of two maximal monotone operators in Banach space under various natural transversality conditions.

We use methods from convex analysis convex, relying on an ingenious function of Simon Fitzpatrick, to prove maximality of the sum of two maximal monotone operators on reflexive Banach space under weak transversality conditions.
متن کاملExamples of discontinuous maximal monotone linear operators and the solution to a recent problem posed by B . F . Svaiter
In this paper, we give two explicit examples of unbounded linear maximal monotone operators. The first unbounded linear maximal monotone operator S on l is skew. We show its domain is a proper subset of the domain of its adjoint S∗, and −S∗ is not maximal monotone. This gives a negative answer to a recent question posed by Svaiter. The second unbounded linear maximal monotone operator is the in...
