This paper is devoted to a systematic study and characterizations of the fundamental notions of variational and strong variational convexity for lower semicontinuous functions. While these notions have been quite recently introduced by…

For proper lower semi-continuous functionals bounded below which do not increase upon polarization, an improved version of Ekeland's variational principle can be formulated in Banach spaces, which provides almost symmetric points.

We prove that, any problem of minimization of proper lower semicontinuous function defined on a normal Hausdorff space, is canonically equivalent to a problem of minimization of a proper weak * lower semicontinuous convex function defined…

We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a real-valued quasiconvex function f on a Baire topological vector space X (in particular, Banach or Frechet space) to be continuous at the points of a residual subset of X. These conditions…

The notion of adequate function has been recently introduced in order to characterize the essentially strictly functions on a reflexive Banach space among the weakly lower semicontinuous ones. In this paper we reinforce this concept and…

In this paper, we study a class of Banach spaces, called \phi-spaces. In a natural way, we associate a measure of weak compactness in such spaces and prove an analogue of Sadovskii fixed point theorem for weakly sequentially continuous…

The objective of this paper is to prove a functional weak invariance principle for a local time of a process of the form $X_{n}=\varphi\circ T^{n}$ where $\left(X,\mathcal{B},T,m\right)$ is a measure preserving system with a transfer…

We list and discuss the background of some open problems, regarding the principle of local reflexivity for maximal Banach ideals.

Roughly speaking, Ekeland's Variational Principle (EkVP) (J. Math. Anal. Appl. 47 (1974), 324--353) asserts the existence of strict minima of some perturbed versions of lower semicontinuous functions defined on a complete metric space.…

In this paper, two multiplicity results about local minima of integrals of the calculus of variations are established. The main tool used to prove them is the theory developed in [B. Ricceri, Sublevel sets and global minima of coercive…

We generalize to Banach space Thibault-Zagrodny Theorem that if $f$ and $g$ are primal lower regular functions and $\partial f = \partial g$ locally, then $f$ and $g$ locally differ by a constant.

In this paper we study the regularity of the local minima of integral functionals: in particular, not convexity (quasi-convexity, policonvexity or rank one convexity) hypothesis will be made on the density, neither structure hypothesis nor…

Let X be a compact convex set and let ext X stand for the set of extreme points of X. We show that an affine function with the point of continuity property on X satisfies the minimum principle. As a corollary we obtain a generalization of a…

If a separable Banach space $X$ is such that for some nonquasireflexive Banach space $Y$ there exists a surjective strictly singular operator $T:X\to Y$ then for every countable ordinal $\alpha $ the dual of $X$ contains a subspace whose…

We show that for a given initial point the typical, in the sense of Baire category, nonexpansive compact valued mapping $F$ has the following properties: there is a unique sequence of successive approximations and this sequence converges to…

In this paper we characterize sparse solutions for variational problems of the form $\min_{u\in X} \phi(u) + F(\mathcal{A} u)$, where $X$ is a locally convex space, $\mathcal{A}$ is a linear continuous operator that maps into a finite…

Our basic element is a $C^1$ mapping $f:X\to Y$, with $X,Y$ Banach spaces, and with derivative everywhere invertible. So $f$ is a local diffeomorphism at every point. The aim of this paper is to find a sufficient condition for $f$ to be…

We extend the method of minimal vectors to arbitrary Banach spaces. It is proved, by a variant of the method, that certain quasinilpotent operators on arbitrary Banach spaces have hyperinvariant subspaces.

Let $S$ be a right reversible semitopological semigroup, and let $\operatorname{LUC}(S)$ be the space of left uniformly continuous functions on $S$. Suppose that $\operatorname{LUC}(S)$ has a left invariant mean. Let $K$ be a weakly compact…

We introduce a sheaf theoretic viewpoint on functional analysis designed for infinite dimensional Lie group actions. We develop functional calculus for Banach valued functors and, in particular, prove the existence of an exponential map for…
