This paper stresses the role of co-coercivity and related notions in the convergence of iterative schemes for solving monotone, but not necessarily strongly or even strictly monotone variational inequalities. The analysis will be conducted within the conceptual framework of the \auxiliary problem principle".

This paper is concerned with the existence of monotone positive solution for the following third-order nonlocal boundary value problem u′′′ (t)+f (t, u (t) , u′ (t)) = 0, 0 < t < 1; u (0) = 0, au′ (0) − bu′′ (0) = α[u], cu′ (1) + du′′ (1) = β[u], where f ∈ C([0, 1] × R+ × R+, R+), α[u] = ∫ 1 0 u(t)dA(t) and β[u] = ∫ 1 0 u(t)dB(t) are linear functionals on C[0, 1] given by Riemann-Stieltjes inte...

where f ∈ C(J ×R×R,R) and α∈ C(J , J) (e.g., αmay be defined by α(t)=√t, T ≥ 1 or α(t)= 0.7t, t ∈ J). Moreover, r and γ are fixed real numbers. Differential equations with deviated arguments arise in a variety of areas of biological, physical, and engineering applications, see, for example, [9, Chapter 2]. The monotone iterative method is useful to obtain approximate solutions of nonlinear diff...

We study the equation ut + uux + u − K * u = 0 in the case of an arbitrary K ≥ 0, which is a generalization of a model for radiating gas, in which K(y) = 1 2 e −|y|. Using a monotone iteration scheme argument we establish the existence of traveling waves, which gives a solution to an open question raised by Denis Serre [1].
