The main goal of this paper is to show how some monotonicity methods related with the subdifferential of suitable convex functions and its extensions as m-accretive operators in Banach spaces lead to new and unexpected results showing, for…

In this paper, we consider the structure of maximally monotone operators in Banach space whose domains have nonempty interior and we present new and explicit structure formulas for such operators. Along the way, we provide new proofs of the…

In this paper we provide some extension results for n-cyclically monotone operators in reflexive Banach spaces by making use of the Fenchel duality. In this way we give a positive answer to a question posed by Bauschke and Wang in [4].

In this paper, we prove new existence and multiplicity results for critical points of lower semicontinuous functionals in Banach spaces, complementing the nonsmooth critical point theory set forth by Szulkin and avoiding the need of the…

We construct a version of kneading theory for families of monotonous functions on the real line. The generality of the setup covers two classical results from Milnor-Thurston's kneading theory: the first one is to dynamically characterise…

The notion of weakly monotone functions extends the classical definition of monotone function, that can be traced back to H.Lebesgue. It was introduced, in the setting of Sobolev spaces, by J.Manfredi, and thoroughly investigated in the…

Based on the idea of randomizing the traditional space theory of functional analysis, random functional analysis has been developed as functional analysis over random metric spaces, random normed modules and random locally convex modules.…

In this paper, we survey recent progress on the theory of maximally monotone operators in general Banach space. We also extend various of the results and leave some open questions.

Stochastic contraction analysis is a recently developed tool for studying the global stability properties of nonlinear stochastic systems, based on a differential analysis of convergence in an appropriate metric. To date, stochastic…

This paper is about the technique of {\em shadow variables} that was used in the theory of monotone operators. In this paper, we use it to show that certain results that were originally proved for lower semicontinuous convex functions are…

We provide a sharp monotonicity theorem about the distribution of subharmonic functions on manifolds, which can be regarded as a new, measure theoretic form of the uncertainty principle. As an illustration of the scope of this result, we…

We show that a variant of a function defined by Cholamjiak and Suantai can be used to characterize 2-uniform smoothness. We then obtain greatly simplified proofs of a convergence theorem of Marino and Xu and of one of Zhou using a…

In this note we will present an extension of the Krein-Rutman theorem for an abstract nonlinear, compact, positively 1-homogeneous, monotone non-decreasing operators on a Banach space and apply the result to many nonlinear elliptic partial…

This paper provides a functional analytic approach to differential equations on Banach space with slowly evolving parameters. We develop a Fenichel-like theory for attracting subsets of critical manifolds via a Lyapunov-Perron method. This…

Fitzpatrick's variational representation of maximal monotone operators is here extended to a class of pseudo-monotone operators in Banach spaces. On this basis, the initial-value problem associated with the first-order flow of such an…

There are several extensions of the classical Banach Fixed Point Theorem in technical literature. A branch of generalizations replaces usual contractivity by weaker but still effective assumptions. Our note follows this stream, presenting…

We generalize the phenomenon of continuation from complex anal- ysis to locally operator monotone functions. Along the lines of the egde-of- the-wedge theorem, we prove continuations exist dependent only on geometric features of the domain…

A branch of generalizations of the Banach Fixed Point Theorem replaces contractivity by a weaker but still effective property. The aim of the present note is to extend the contraction principle in this spirit for such complete semimetric…

The theory of monotonicity and duality is developed for general one-dimensional Feller processes. Moreover it is shown that local monotonicity conditions (conditions on the L\'evy kernel) are sufficient to prove the well-posedness of the…

The balance held by Brownian motion between temporal regularity and randomness is embodied in a remarkable way by Levy's forgery of continuous functions. Here we describe how this property can be extended to forge arbitrary dependences…
