Let $X$ be a partially ordered set with the property that each family of order intervals of the form $[a,b],[a,\rightarrow )$ with the finite intersection property has a nonempty intersection. We show that every directed subset of $X$ has a…
This paper establishes three minimax theorems for possibly nonconvex functions on Euclidean spaces or on infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces. The theorems also guarantee the existence of saddle points. As a by-product, a complete solution…
We are concerned with topology of Hensel minimal structures on non-trivially valued fields $K$, whose axiomatic theory was introduced in a recent paper by Cluckers-Halupczok-Rideau. We additionally require that every definable subset in the…
The classical Cantor's intersection theorem states that in a complete metric space $X$, intersection of every decreasing sequence of nonempty closed bounded subsets, with diameter approaches zero, has exactly one point. In this article, we…
Suppose that E is a Banach space, {\tau} a topology under which the norm of E becomes {\tau}-lower semicontinuous and S a commuting family of {\tau}-continuous nonexpansive mappings defined on a {\tau}-compact convex subset C of E: It is…
We establish the existence theory of several commonly used finite element (FE) nonlinear fully discrete solutions, and the convergence theory of a linearized iteration. First, it is shown for standard FE, SUPG and edge-averaged method…
A functional analog of the Klain-Schneider theorem for vector-valued valuations on convex functions is established, providing a classification of continuous, translation covariant, simple valuations. Under additional rotation equivariance…
In the setting of CAT(k) spaces, common fixed point iterations built from prox mappings (e.g. prox-prox, Krasnoselsky-Mann relaxations, nonlinear projected-gradients) converge locally linearly under the assumption of linear metric…
We introduce a new fixed point theorem of Krasnoselskii type for discontinuous operators. As an application we use it to study the existence of positive solutions of a second-order differential problem with separated boundary conditions and…
We give a systematic and thorough study of geometric notions and results connected to Minkowski's measure of symmetry and the extension of the well-known Minkowski functional to arbitrary, not necessarily symmetric convex bodies K on any…
As an application of Brouwer's fixed-point theorem we prove that a continuously differentiable convex function with gradient of constant norm is an affine mapping. It is a first-order characterization of affine mappings among continuously…
We present new criteria on the existence of fixed points that combine some monotonicity assumptions with the classical fixed point index theory. As an illustrative application, we use our theoretical results to prove the existence of…
We develop the details of a surgery theory for contact manifolds of arbitrary dimension via convex structures, extending the 3-dimensional theory developed by Giroux. The theory is analogous to that of Weinstein manifolds in symplectic…
The separation of two sets (or more specific of two cones) plays an important role in different fields of mathematics such as variational analysis, convex analysis, convex geometry, optimization. In the paper, we derive some new results for…
In this paper, we investigate properties of set-valued mappings that establish connection between the values of this map at two arbitrary points of the domain and the value at their midpoint. Such properties are, for instance, Jensen…
The proof of Brouwer's fixed-point theorem based on Sperner's lemma is often presented as an elementary combinatorial alternative to advanced proofs based on algebraic topology. The goal of this note is to show that: (i) the combinatorial…
The design of fixed point algorithms is at the heart of monotone operator theory, convex analysis, and of many modern optimization problems arising in machine learning and control. This tutorial reviews recent advances in understanding the…
The aim of this paper is to introduce and to investigate the basic properties of $q$-convex, $q$-affine and $q$-concave sequences and to establish their surprising connection to Chebyshev polynomials of the first and of the second kind. One…
In this note we investigate three kinds of applications of the Painlev\'e-Kuratowski convergence of closed sets in analysis that are motivated also by questions from singularity theory. Firstly, we generalise to Lipschitz functions the…
Several variations of the classical Kalman-Yakubovich-Popov Lemma, as well the associated minimax theorem are presented.
