We study an abstract class of autonomous differential inclusions in Hilbert spaces and show the well-posedness and causality, by establishing the operators involved as maximal monotone operators in time and space. Then the proof of the…
We are concerned with solvability of a non-potential system involving two relativistic operators, subject to boundary conditions expressed in terms of maximal monotone operators. The approach makes use of a fixed point formulation and…
We study the relations between some geometric properties of maximal monotone operators and generic geometric and analytical properties of the functions on the associate Fitzpatrick family of convex representations. We also investigate under…
The paper is devoted to a systematic study and characterizations of notions of local maximal monotonicity and their strong counterparts for set-valued operators that appear in variational analysis, optimization, and their applications. We…
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…
The relationships between port-Hamiltonian systems modeling and the notion of monotonicity are explored. The earlier introduced notion of incrementally port-Hamiltonian systems is extended to maximal cyclically monotone relations, together…
In this article we study port-Hamiltonian partial differential equations on certain one-dimensional manifolds. We classify those boundary conditions that give rise to contraction semigroups. As an application we study port-Hamiltonian…
In the context of general Banach spaces characterizations for the maximal monotonicity of operators with non-empty domain interior as well as stronger continuity properties for such operators are provided.
In this paper we study, in the relaxed context of locally convex spaces, intrinsic properties of monotone operators needed for the sum conjecture for maximal monotone operators to hold under classical interiority-type domain constraints.
We consider a class of block operator matrices arising in the study of scattering passive systems, especially in the context of boundary control problems. We prove that these block operator matrices are indeed a subclass of block operator…
In this article we study a class of hyperbolic partial differential equations of order one on the semi-axis. The so-called port-Hamiltonian systems cover for instance the wave equation and the transport equation, but also networks of the…
We give a self-contained and introductory account of some basic functional analytic tools needed to understand maximal monotone operators in Hilbert spaces. We review domains of (possibly unbounded) operators, closed sets and closed…
In this paper, we consider evolution problems involving time dependent maximal monotone operators in Hilbert spaces. Existence and relaxation theorems are proved.
We study nonlinear singular optimal control problems of port-Hamil-tonian (descriptor) systems. We employ general control-affine cost functionals that include as a special case the energy supplied to the system. We first derive optimality…
We construct Hamiltonians for systems of nonrelativistic particles linearly coupled to massive scalar bosons using abstract boundary conditions. The construction yields an explicit characterisation of the domain of self-adjointness in terms…
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…
This article studies the solutions of time-dependent differential inclusions which is motivated by their utility in the modeling of certain physical systems. The differential inclusion is described by a time-dependent set-valued mapping…
The solution of constrained linear partial-differential equations can be described via parametric representations of linear relations. To study these representations, we provide a novel definition of boundary triplets for linear relations…
The local boundedness of classes of operators is analyzed on different subsets directly related to their Fitzpatrick functions and characterizations of the topological vector spaces for which that local boundedness holds is given in terms…
In this paper, we study properties of ultramaximally monotone operators. We characterize the interior and the closure of the range of an ultramaximally monotone operator. We establish the Brezis--Haraux condition in the setting of a general…
