This paper presents sufficient conditions for the existence of stationary optimal policies for averagecost Markov Decision Processes with Borel state and action sets and with weakly continuous transition probabilities. The one-step cost functions may be unbounded, and action sets may be noncompact. The main contributions of this paper are: (i) general sufficient conditions for the existence of ...

The concept of occasionally weakly compatible (shortly, owc) mappings introduced by Al-Thagafi and Shahzad [2], which is more general than the concept of weakly compatible maps. In this paper, we prove a common fixed point theorem for owc mappings in Menger space using arbitrary continuous t-norm for a nonlinear case. Full text

We have already introduced upper and lower (weakly) quasi continuous fuzzy multifunctions in [3] ([3]). In [8], Malakar introduced fuzzy θ-continuous multifunctions. Again Mukherjee and Malakar have introduced fuzzy almost continuous multifunctions [9]. In this paper we have established a mutual relationships among these fuzzy multifunctions.

We show that the properties of being injective, surjective, continuous, strongly surjective, stably solvable, carry over to weakly-near maps. We also prove a data dependence theorem for equations of the form A(x) = z, where A is weakly-near to some bijective map.

Continuous functions are novel concepts in topology. Many topologists contributed to the theory of continuous The present authors continued study on by utilizing concept gpα-closed sets topology and introduced weakly, subweakly almost functions. Further, properties these established.

Let {r(Z):Z>0} be a C0-semigroup on a Banach space X with generator A , and let x € X. If a (A) n ;'R is empty and t »-> T(t)x is uniformly continuous, then ||7"(Z)jc|| —> 0 as t —» oo . If the semigroup is sun-reflexive, o(A)CiiR is countable, Pa(A)DiS. is empty, and 1 >-> T(t)x is uniformly weakly continuous, then T(t)x —► 0 weakly as t —» oo . Questions of almost periodicity and of stabiliza...

defined over Sobolev spaces is connected to the convexity of the potential w. In the scalar case, that is for functions u with domain or range in R, the functional I is weakly W 1,p lower semi-continuous (weakly * W ) if and only if w is convex, provided it is continuous and satisfies some growth conditions. The notion which replaces convexity in the vector case is quasi-convexity (introduced b...

The algebraic regulator and filter Riccati equations of weakly coupled dticrere-rime stochastic linear control systems are completely and exactly decomposed into reduced-order continuous-time algebraic Riccati equations corresponding to the subsystems. That is, the exact solution of the global discrete algebraic Riccati equation is found in terms of the reduced-order subsystem nonsymmetric cont...
