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 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…
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…
Maximal monotone operators on a Banach space into its dual can be represented by convex functions bounded below by the duality product. It is natural to ask under which conditions a convex function represents a maximal monotone operator. A…
The Haraux function is an important tool in monotone operator theory and its applications. One of its salient properties for a maximally monotone operator is to be valued in $[0,+\infty]$ and to vanish only on the graph of the operator.…
We provide a concise analysis about what is known regarding when the closure of the domain of a maximally monotone operator on an arbitrary real Banach space is convex. In doing so, we also provide an affirmative answer to a problem posed…
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…
We show that the lower limit of a sequence of maximal monotone operators on a reflexive Banach space is a representable monotone operator. As a consequence, we obtain that the variational sum of maximal monotone operators and the…
In this paper, we deal with three aspects of $p$-monotone operators. First we study $p$-monotone operators with a unique maximal extension (called pre-maximal), and with convex graph. We then deal with linear operators, and provide…
In this paper, we construct maximally monotone operators that are not of Gossez's dense-type (D) in many nonreflexive spaces. Many of these operators also fail to possess the Br{\o}nsted-Rockafellar (BR) property. Using these operators, we…
Our goal is to present a new shorter proof for the maximal monotonicity of the Minkowski sum of two maximal monotone multi-valued operators defined in a reflexive Banach space under the classical interiority condition involving their…
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…
Motivated by the equivalent definition of a continuous operator between Banach spaces in terms of weakly null nets, we introduce two types of continuous operators between Banach lattices using unbounded absolute weak convergence. We…
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.
We are concerned with surjectivity of perturbations of maximal monotone operators in non-reflexive Banach spaces. While in a reflexive setting, a classical surjectivity result due to Rockafellar gives a necessary and sufficient condition to…
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…
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…
This paper is primarily concerned with the problem of maximality for the sum $A+B$ and composition $L^{*}ML$ in non-reflexive Banach space settings under qualifications constraints involving the domains of $A,B,M$. Here $X$, $Y$ are Banach…
Maximally monotone operators play a key role in modern optimization and variational analysis. Two useful subclasses are rectangular (also known as star monotone) and paramonotone operators, which were introduced by Brezis and Haraux, and by…
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…
