We consider ill-posed linear operator equations with operators acting between Banach spaces. For solution approximation, the methods of choice here are projection methods onto finite dimensional subspaces, thus extending existing results…

Metric projection operators can be defined in similar wayin Hilbert and Banach spaces. At the same time, they differ signifitiantly in their properties. Metric projection operator in Hilbert space is a monotone and nonexpansive operator. It…

Given a compact subset of a Banach space, the Chebyshev center problem consists of finding a minimal circumscribing ball containing the set. In this article we establish a numerically tractable algorithm for solving the Chebyshev center…

A subset of a convex body $B$ containing the origin in a Euclidean space is {\it parkable in $B$} if it can be translated inside $B$ in such a manner that the translate the origin. We provide characterizations of ellipsoids and of centrally…

In this paper, the convergence of alternating minimization is established for non-smooth convex optimization in Banach spaces, and novel rates of convergence are provided. As objective function a composition of a smooth and a non-smooth…

Let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of a real normed linear space $E$ and u, v are positive numbers. In this paper we introduce some new definitions that generalize the analogue definitions from real Hilbert spaces to real normed…

Banach's fixed point theorem for contraction maps has been widely used to analyze the convergence of iterative methods in non-convex problems. It is a common experience, however, that iterative maps fail to be globally contracting under the…

This paper presents a study of generalized polyhedral convexity under basic operations on multifunctions. We address the preservation of generalized polyhedral convexity under sums and compositions of multifunctions, the domains and ranges…

The authors study Tikhonov regularization of linear ill-posed problems with a general convex penalty defined on a Banach space. It is well known that the error analysis requires smoothness assumptions. Here such assumptions are given in…

We show that every Banach space containing isomorphic copies of $c_0$ can be equivalently renormed so that every nonempty relatively weakly open subset of its unit ball has diameter 2 and, however, its unit ball still contains convex…

This paper deals with a general form of variational problems in Banach spaces which encompasses variational inequalities as well as minimization problems. We prove a characterization of local error bounds for the distance to the…

In 1963 Boris Polyak suggested a particular step size for gradient descent methods, now known as the Polyak step size, that he later adapted to subgradient methods. The Polyak step size requires knowledge of the optimal value of the…

We characterize the solution of a broad class of convex optimization problems that address the reconstruction of a function from a finite number of linear measurements. The underlying hypothesis is that the solution is decomposable as a…

In this paper we derive higher order convergence rates in terms of the Bregman distance for Tikhonov like convex regularisation for linear operator equations on Banach spaces. The approach is based on the idea of variational inequalities,…

Variational source conditions proved useful for deriving convergence rates for Tikhonov's regularization method and also for other methods. Up to now such conditions have been verified only for few examples or for situations which can be…

Let $E$ be a Banach space and $\X$ be the closed unit ball of the dual space $E^*$. For a compact set $K$ in $E$, we prove that $K$ is polynomially convex in $E$ if and only if there exist a unital commutative Banach algebra $A$ and a…

Let $D$ be a bounded domain in a complex Banach space. According to the Earle-Hamilton fixed point theorem, if a holomorphic mapping $F : D \mapsto D$ maps $D$ strictly into itself, then it has a unique fixed point and its iterates converge…

In this paper, we extend the Banach contraction principle to metric-like as well as partial metric spaces (not essentially complete) equipped with an arbitrary binary relation. Thereafter, we derive some fixed point results which are…

We construct a Banach space satisfying that the nearest point map (also called proximity mapping or metric projection) onto any compact and convex subset is continuous but not uniformly continuous. The space we construct is locally…
