Maximally monotone operators play important roles in optimization, variational analysis and differential equations. Finding zeros of maximally monotone operators has been a central topic. In a Hilbert space, we show that most resolvents are…

Here, question raised by Borwein and Yao has been settled by establishing that the sum of two maximal monotone operators A and B is maximal monotone with the condition that A is of type (FPV) and satisfies Rockafellar's constraints…

Given a linear semi-bounded symmetric operator $S\ge -\omega$, we explicitly define, and provide their nonlinear resolvents, nonlinear maximal monotone operators $A_\Theta$ of type $\lambda>\omega$ (i.e. generators of one-parameter…

We present a simple proof of the maximal monotonicity of the subdifferential operator in general Banach spaces. Using the Fitzpatrick function the Rockafellar surjectivity theorem follows as a corollary.

In a real Banach space, we first prove that the sum of a monotone operator of type (FPV) and maximal monotone operator Rockafellar's constraint qualification is maximal. This prove leads to the solution of most interesting long-time…

We give, for general Banach spaces, a characterization of the sequential lower limit of maximal monotone operators of type (D) and prove its representability. As a consequence, using a recent extension of the Moreau-Yosida regularization…

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 the most famous open problem in Monotone…

In this paper, we give two explicit examples of unbounded linear maximal monotone operators. The first unbounded linear maximal monotone operator $S$ on $\ell^{2}$ is skew. We show its domain is a proper subset of the domain of its adjoint…

Several aspects of the interplay between monotone operator theory and convex optimization are presented. The crucial role played by monotone operators in the analysis and the numerical solution of convex minimization problems is emphasized.…

Operator learning has been highly successful for continuous mappings between infinite-dimensional spaces, such as PDE solution operators. However, many operators of interest-including differential operators-are discontinuous or set-valued,…

Monotone operators, especially in the form of subdifferential operators, are of basic importance in optimization. It is well known since Minty, Rockafellar, and Bertsekas-Eckstein that in Hilbert space, monotone operators can be understood…

This work deals with a maximal monotone operator $A$ of type (D) in a Banach space whose dual space is strictly convex. We establish some representations for the value $Ax$ at a given point $x$ via its values at nearby points of $x$. We…

We study maximal monotone operators $A : X \rightrightarrows X^*$ whose Fitzpatrick family reduces to a singleton; such operators will be called uniquely representable. We show that every such operator is cyclically monotone (hence,…

Monotone operator theory and fixed point theory for nonexpansive mappings are central areas in modern nonlinear analysis and optimization. Although these areas are fairly well developed, almost all examples published are based on…

This paper is about the maximally monotone and quasidense subsets of the product of a real Banach space and its dual. We discuss six subclasses of the maximal monotone sets that are equivalent to the quasidense ones. We define the Gossez…

We present a counterexample showing that the graphical limit of maximally monotone operators might not be maximally monotone. We also characterize the directional differentiability of the resolvent of an operator $B$ in terms of existence…

Monotonicity and convex analysis arise naturally in the framework of multi-marginal optimal transport theory. However, a comprehensive multi-marginal monotonicity and convex analysis theory is still missing. To this end we study extensions…

We study monotone operators in reflexive Banach spaces that are invariant with respect to a group of suitable isometric isomorphisms and we show that they always admit a maximal extension which preserves the same invariance. A similar…

In this paper we investigate in a Hilbert space setting a second order dynamical system of the form $$\ddot{x}(t)+\g(t)\dot{x}(t)+x(t)-J_{\lambda(t) A}\big(x(t)-\lambda(t) D(x(t))-\lambda(t)\beta(t)B(x(t))\big)=0,$$ where $A:{\mathcal…

Let $X$ be a real reflexive Banach space and $X^*$ be its dual space. Let $G_1$ and $G_2$ be open subsets of $X$ such that $\bar G_2\subset G_1$, $0\in G_2$, and $G_1$ is bounded. Let $L: X\supset D(L)\to X^*$ be a densely defined linear…
