Finite Cartesian products of operators play a central role in monotone operator theory and its applications. Extending such products to arbitrary families of operators acting on different Hilbert spaces is an open problem, which we address…

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,…

Operator monotone functions, introduced by Lowner in 1934, are an important class of real-valued functions. They arise naturally in matrix and operator theory and have various applications in other branches of mathematics and related…

We present a new sufficient condition under which a maximal monotone operator $T:X\tos X^*$ admits a unique maximal monotone extension to the bidual $\widetilde T:X^{**} \rightrightarrows X^*$. For non-linear operators this condition is…

The epsilon-enlargement of a maximal monotone operator is a construct similar to the Br{\o}ndsted and Rocakfellar epsilon-subdifferential enlargement of the subdifferential. Like the epsilon-subdifferential, the epsilon-enlargement of a…

Representation formulas for faces and support functions of the values of maximal monotone operators are established in two cases: either the operators are defined on uniformly Banach spaces with uniformly convex duals, or their domains have…

In the first part of the note we prove that a sufficient condition (due to Simons) for the convexity of the closure of the domain/range of a monotone operator is also necessary when the operator has bounded domain and is maximal. Simons'…

An expansive, monotone operator is dominating; if it is also idempotent it is a closure operator. Although they have distinct properties, these two kinds of discrete operators are also intertwined. Every closure operator is dominating;…

In a recent paper (2024) Camacho, C\'{a}novas, Mart\'{\i}nez-Legaz and Parra introduced bimonotone operators, i.e., operators $T$ such that both $T$ and $-T$ are monotone, and found some interesting applications to convex feasibility…

If $L$ is a selfdual Lagrangian $L$ on a reflexive phase space $X\times X^*$, then the vector field $x\to \bar\partial L(x):=\{p\in X^*; (p,x)\in \partial L(x,p)\}$ is maximal monotone. Conversely, any maximal monotone operator $T$ on $X$…
