We introduce an iterative scheme for finding a common element of the solution set of a maximal monotone operator and the solution set of the variational inequality problem for an inverse strongly-monotone operator in a uniformly smooth and uniformly convex Banach space, and then we prove weak and strong convergence theorems by using the notion of generalized projection. The result presented in ...

It is well known that a continuous piecewise monotone interval map with positive topological entropy is semiconjugate to a map of a constant slope and the same entropy, and if it is additionally transitive then this semiconjugacy is actually a conjugacy. We generalize this result to piecewise continuous piecewise monotone interval maps, and as a consequence, get it also for piecewise monotone g...

Several extensions of Loewner’s theory of monotone operator functions are given. These include a theorem on boundary interpolation for matrix-valued functions in the generalized Nevanlinna class. The theory of monotone operator functions is generalized from scalarto matrix-valued functions of an operator argument. A notion of κ-monotonicity is introduced and characterized in terms of classical ...

We present a new sufficient condition under which a maximal monotone operator T : X ⇉ X∗ admits a unique maximal monotone extension to the bidual T̃ : X∗∗ ⇉ X∗. For non-linear operators this condition is equivalent to uniqueness of the extension. The class of maximal monotone operators which satisfy this new condition includes class of Gossez type D maximal monotone operators, previously defined...

We consider the primal problem of finding the zeros of the sum of a maximally monotone operator with the composition of another maximally monotone operator with a linear continuous operator and a corresponding dual problem formulated by means of the inverse operators. A primal-dual splitting algorithm which simultaneously solves the two problems in finite-dimensional spaces is presented. The sc...

Operator monotone functions play an important role in economics. We show that 2-monotonicity is equivalent to decreasing relative risk premium, a notion recently introduced in microeconomics. We also show that an operator monotone function is risk vulnerable, a notion introduced by Gollier and Pratt.

In this paper, we give two explicit examples of unbounded linear maximal monotone operators. The first unbounded linear maximal monotone operator S on l is skew. We show its domain is a proper subset of the domain of its adjoint S∗, and −S∗ is not maximal monotone. This gives a negative answer to a recent question posed by Svaiter. The second unbounded linear maximal monotone operator is the in...

We propose a descent method via gap functions for solving nonsmooth variational inequalities with a locally Lipschitz operator. Assuming monotone operator (not necessarily strongly monotone) and bounded domain, we show that the method with an Armijo-type line search is globally convergent. Finally, we report some numerical experiments.
