We deal with monotone inclusion problems of the form 0 ∈ Ax+Dx+NC(x) in real Hilbert spaces, where A is a maximally monotone operator, D a cocoercive operator and C the nonempty set of zeros of another cocoercive operator. We propose a forwardbackward penalty algorithm for solving this problem which extends the one proposed by H. Attouch, M.-O. Czarnecki and J. Peypouquet in [3]. The condition ...

Based on a common article of the authors, we are concerned with solving monotone inclusion problems expressed by the sum of a set-valued maximally monotone operator with a single-valued maximally monotone one and the normal cone to the nonempty set of zeros of another set-valued maximally monotone operator. Depending on the nature of the single-valued operator, we propose two iterative penalty ...

Abstract. Monotone triangles are certain triangular arrays of integers, which correspond to n × n alternating sign matrices when prescribing (1, 2, . . . , n) as bottom row of the monotone triangle. In this article we define halved monotone triangles, a specialization of which correspond to vertically symmetric alternating sign matrices. We derive an operator formula for the number of halved mo...

The notions of a quasi-monotone operator and of a cyclically quasi-monotone operator are introduced, and relations between such operators and quasi-convex functions are established.

In this paper, we study an iterative scheme for two different types of resolvents of a monotone operator defined on a Banach space. These resolvents are generalizations of resolvents of a monotone operator in a Hilbert space. We obtain iterative approximations of a zero point of a monotone operator generated by the shrinking projection method with errors in a Banach space. Using our result, we ...

The question whether or not the sum of two maximal monotone operators is maximal monotone under Rockafellar’s constraint qualification— that is, whether or not “the sum theorem” is true— is themost famous open problem inMonotone Operator Theory. In his 2008monograph “From Hahn-Banach to Monotonicity”, Stephen Simons asked whether or not the sum theorem holds for the special case of a maximal mo...
