Abstract: An explicit hierarchical fixed point algorithm is introduced to solve monotone variational inequalities, which are governed by a pair of nonexpansive mappings, one of which is used to define the governing operator and the other to define the feasible set. These kinds of variational inequalities include monotone inclusions and convex optimization problems to be solved over the fixed po...

We study maximal monotone inclusions from the perspective of (convex) gap functions. We propose a very natural gap function and will demonstrate how this function arises from the Fitzpatrick function — a convex function used effectively to represent maximal monotone operators. • This approach allows us to use the powerful strong Fitzpatrick inequality to analyse solutions of the inclusion. – We...

The set of solutions of 1.1 is denoted by A B −1 0 . A number of problems arising in structural analysis, mechanics, and economics can be studied in the framework of this kind of variational inclusions; see, for instance, 1–4 . The problem 1.1 includes many problems as special cases. 1 If B ∂φ : H → 2 , where φ : H → R ∪ ∞ is a proper convex lower semicontinuous function and ∂φ is the subdif an...

This paper addresses a new class of differential variational inequalities that have recently been introduced and investigated in finite dimensions as a new modeling paradigm of variational analysis to treat many applied problems in engineering, operations research, and physical sciences. This new subclass of general differential inclusions unifies ordinary differential equations with possibly d...

We introduce a new concept of general $G$-$eta$-monotone operator generalizing the general $(H,eta)$-monotone operator cite{arvar2, arvar1}, general $H-$ monotone operator cite{xiahuang} in Banach spaces, and also generalizing $G$-$eta$-monotone operator cite{zhang}, $(A, eta)$-monotone operator cite{verma2}, $A$-monotone operator cite{verma0}, $(H, eta)$-monotone operator cite{fanghuang}...

This paper studies a Mayer type optimal control problem with general endpoint constraints for semilinear unbounded evolution inclusions in reflexive and separable Banach spaces. First, we construct a sequence of discrete approximations to the original optimal control problem for evolution inclusions and prove that optimal solutions to discrete approximation problems uniformly converge to a give...
