We establish a general fixed point theorem for multivalued maps defined on cones in Banach spaces. Applications to single and multivalued equations are presented. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 47H10, 45M20.

Functional dependencies, a notion originated in Relational Database Theory, are known to admit interesting characterizations in terms of Formal Concept Analysis. In database terms, two successive, natural extensions of the notion of functional dependency are the socalled degenerate multivalued dependencies, and multivalued dependencies proper. We propose here a new Galois connection, based on a...

In this paper, we introduce a new class of bifunction variational inequalities, which is called the multivalued mixed quasi bifunction variational inequalities. Using the auxiliary principle technique, we suggest and analyze a proximal point method for solving the multivalued mixed quasi bifunction variational inequalities. It is shown that the convergence of the proposed method requires only p...

The use of multivalued controls derived from a special maximal monotone operator are studied in this note. Starting with a strictly passive linear system (with possible parametric uncertainty and external disturbances) a multivalued control law is derived, ensuring regulation of the output to a desired value. The methodology used falls in a passivity-based control context, where we study how th...

Topology-based analysis of time-series data from dynamical systems is powerful: it potentially allows for computer-based proofs of the existence of various classes of regular and chaotic invariant sets for high-dimensional dynamics. Standard methods are based on a cubical discretization of the dynamics and use the time series to construct an outer approximation of the underlying dynamical syste...

The Schauder conjecture that every continuous single-valued map from a compact convex subset of a topological vector space into itself has a fixed point was stated in [12, Problem 54]. In a recent year, Cauty [2] gave a positive answer to this question by a very complicated approximation factorization. Very recently, Dobrowolski [3] established Cauty’s proof in a more accessible form by using t...

In this paper we develop a stability theory for broad classes of parametric generalized equations and variational inequalities in finite dimensions. These objects have a wide range of applications in optimization, nonlinear analysis, mathematical economics, etc. Our main concern is Lipschitzian stability of multivalued solution maps depending on parameters. We employ a new approach of nonsmooth...

In this paper, we introduce and study a new system of nonlinear A-monotone multivalued variational inclusions in Hilbert spaces. By using the concept and properties of A-monotone mappings, and the resolvent operator technique associated with A-monotone mappings due to Verma, we construct a new iterative algorithm for solving this system of nonlinear multivalued variational inclusions associated...
