Let (N, g) be a closed Riemannian manifold of dimension 2m − 1 and let 0→ Ñ → N be a Galois covering of N . We assume that 0 is of polynomial growth with respect to a word metric and that 1Ñ is L 2-invertible in degree m. By employing spectral sections with a symmetry property with respect to the ?-Hodge operator, we define the higher eta invariant associated with the signature operator on Ñ , ...

0 ∈ Tx + λCx, where T : D(T )⊂ X → 2X is a strongly quasibounded maximal monotone operator and C : D(C)⊂ X → X∗ satisfies the condition (S+)D(C) with L⊂ D(C). The method of approach is to use a topological degree theory for (S+)L-perturbations of strongly quasibounded maximal monotone operators, recently developed by Kartsatos and Quarcoo. Moreover, applying degree theory, a variant of the Fred...

In this paper we analyze the iteration-complexity of the hybrid proximal extragradient (HPE) method for finding a zero of a maximal monotone operator recently proposed by Solodov and Svaiter. One of the key points of our analysis is the use of a new termination criteria based on the εenlargement of a maximal monotone operator. The advantages of using this termination criterion it that its defin...
