In this paper, we introduce a new concept of asymptotic function to derive the Weierstrass theorem for transfer weakly lower continuous functions without coercivity condition in dual spaces that are endowed with the weak⁎ topology. Moreover, by this asymptotic function we establish a necessary and sufficient condition for a minimization problem within the framework of transfer weakly lower continuous and quasiconvex functions in dual spaces. © 2025 Elsevier Inc.

In this article, we investigate μ-lineability of the set of non-absolutely p-summing operators between certain pairs of Banach spaces. Moreover, we prove that for many known Banach spaces E and F, K(E,F)∖⋃1≤p<∞Πp(E,F) is maximal lineable in L(E,F). Our results provide a more comprehensive answer to a question posed by Botelho, Diniz and Pellegrino [12]. © 2025 Elsevier Inc.
In this article, we obtain an extension of the Ekeland variational principle in quasi-uniform spaces. Since the Ekeland variational principle is a type of perturbed optimization problem, the perturbations do not need to satisfy the triangle property to obtain results. We also give some equivalent results of our main results. Moreover, we present a new version of the Ekeland variational principle and its equivalent results, in the setting of quasi-gage spaces. Finally, we establish the Ekeland variational principle in a (metric) modular space as an application of our results. © 2025 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.

In this article, we introduce the notions of l-transfer lower continuous and q-level intersectionally closed for set-valued mappings with respect to the lower set less relation. Then, we obtain some existence results for strict weak l-efficient solutions of such set-valued mappings. Moreover, we prove some existence results for nonconvex set optimization problems via asymptotic analysis tools, in the setting of the Banach spaces equipped with a Hausdorff topology σ coarser than the norm topology. © 2023 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.

This paper has two aspects. Mathematically, in the context of global optimization, it provides the existence of an optimum of a perturbed optimization problem that generalizes the celebrated Ekeland variational principle and equivalent formulations (Caristi, Takahashi), whenever the perturbations need not satisfy the triangle inequality. Behaviorally, it is a continuation of the recent variational rationality approach of stay (stop) and change (go) human dynamics. It gives sufficient conditions for the existence of traps in a changing environment. In this way it emphasizes even more the striking correspondence between variational analysis in mathematics and variational rationality in psychology and behavioral sciences. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.

Different aspects of the KKM Lemma besides its vast applications in nonlinear analysis have been investigated over the years. Some researchers tried to present the KKM results such as generalized L-KKM type theorems in the absence of usual convexity. Here, first we present a counterexample to show that the main results in some generalized KKM type theorems and their consequences are not valid. Afterward, the uniform mapconvex space is introduced and a nonempty intersection result in this space is proved. © 2020, Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.
Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications (10960813) 502(1)
In this paper, we first obtain a characterization of transfer weakly lower continuous functions. Then, by introducing the class of nearly quasi-closed set-valued mappings, we obtain some characterizations of set-valued mappings whose displacement functions are transfer weakly lower continuous. We also present some fixed point theorems for nearly quasi-closed set-valued mappings which are either nearly almost convex or almost affine. Finally, we construct an almost affine mapping T:[0,1)→R, which is not α-almost convex for any continuous and strictly increasing function α:[0,+∞)→[0,+∞) with α(0)=0. This example gives an affirmative response to the Question 3 of Jachymski (2015) [8]. © 2021 Elsevier Inc.

In this article we obtain a characterization of the class of p-convergent operators between two Banach spaces in terms of p-(V) subsets of the dual space. Also, for 1 ≤ p < q ≤ ∞, by introducing the concepts of Pelczyński's properties (V)p,q and (V*)p,q, we obtain a condition that ensures that q-convergent operators are p-convergent operators. Some characterizations of the p-Schur property of Banach spaces and their dual spaces are deduced. © 2020, Akadémiai Kiadó, Budapest.

In this article, in the setting of metric spaces we introduce the notions of noncyclic and cyclic Fisher quasi-contraction mappings. We establish the existence of an optimal pair of fixed points for a noncyclic Fisher quasi-contraction mapping and iterative algorithms are furnished to determine such optimal pair of fixed points. For a cyclic Fisher quasi-contraction mapping, we also study the existence of best proximity points. Presented results extend and improve some recent results in the literature. © 2019, © 2019 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

Optimization (2331934) (9)pp. 1653-1683
We introduce a new concept of generalized convexity of ‘degree n’ for a multiobjective optimization problem and is compared it to the previous notions of generalized convex functions. Some examples to justify the importance of the term ‘degree n’ are provided. Namely, the conclusions of our results may fail if this term is dropped. By applying our new definition to nonsmooth robust multiobjective optimization problems, we establish the nonsmooth robust optimality conditions and robust duality theory for robust ϵ-quasi-(weakly) efficient solutions. A robust ϵ-Mond-Weir type duality of degree n for an uncertain multi-objective optimization problem under our generalized convexity assumption is presented. Furthermore, we introduce an ϵ-approximate scalar saddle-point and an ϵ-approximate weak vector saddle-point of degree n for the robust multi-objective optimization problem. The relationships between these two concepts with robust ϵ-approximate (KKT) condition and robust ϵ-weakly efficient solutions are also given. © 2019, © 2019 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.

In this paper, we define the class of (α,β)-nonexpansive mappings which is properly larger than the class of α-nonexpansive mappings and prove that every (α,β)-nonexpansive mapping T:C→C has an approximate fixed point sequence, where C is a nonempty bounded subset of a Banach space X, α>0 and β≥0. This, in particular, gives an affirmative answer to the open question posed by Ariza-Ruiz and et al. concerning the existence of an approximate fixed point sequence for α-nonexpansive mappings, Ariza-Ruiz et al.

In this paper we show the stability of the Gelfand-Phillips property of order p under tak- ing injective tensor product, compact operators, and Bochner integrable functions. The concept of L-limited sets of order p; is introduced and some characterizations of limited p-convergent operators are given. Also we define the notion of L-limited property of order p and characterize this property in terms of weak compact operators. Furthermore, we give a new dual characterization of the class of weak* p-convergent operators through L-limited sets of order p: Moreover, some characterizations of the Gelfand-Phillips property of order p in terms of limited p-convergent operators are obtained. In addition by applying our results on the limited p-convergent operators, we obtain some characteriza- tions of the Dunford-Pettis* property of order p. © CSP - Cambridge, UK.

In this paper, we introduce the notion of the Bishop–Phelps–Bollobás property for numerical radius (BPBp-ν) for a subclass of the space of bounded linear operators. Then, we show that certain subspaces of L(L1(μ)) have the BPBp-ν for every finite measure μ. As a consequence we deduce that the subspaces of finite-rank operators, compact operators and weakly compact operators on L1(μ) have the BPBp-ν. © 2017 Elsevier Inc.

Let (X, d) be a metric space, Y be a nonempty subset of X, and let T: Y→ P(X) be a non-self multivalued mapping. In this paper, by a new technique we study the fixed point theory of multivalued mappings under the assumption of the existence of a bounded sequence (xn)n in Y such that Tnxn⊆ Y, for each n∈ N. Our main result generalizes fixed point theorems due to Matkowski (Diss. Math. 127, 1975), Wȩgrzyk (Diss. Math. (Rozprawy Mat.) 201, 1982), Reich and Zaslavski (Fixed Point Theory 8:303–307, 2007), Petruşel et al. (Set-Valued Var. Anal. 23:223–237, 2015) and provides a solution to the problems posed in Petruşel et al. (Set-Valued Var. Anal. 23:223–237, 2015) and Rus and Şerban (Miskolc Math.

It is well known that every (real or complex) normed linear space L is isometrically embeddable into C(X) for some compact Hausdorff space X. Here X is the closed unit ball of L* (the set of all continuous scalar-valued linear mappings on L) endowed with the weak* topology, which is compact by the Banach-Alaoglu theorem. We prove that the compact Hausdorff space X can indeed be chosen to be the Stone-Čech compactification of L* \ {0}, where L*\ {0} is endowed with the supremum norm topology. © 2017 Iranian Mathematical Society.

The main goal of this paper is to obtain a generalization of the Weierstrass theorem for transfer weakly lower continuous functions on noncompact topological spaces. To achieve this goal, the notion of a quasi-regular-global-inf (qrgi) function on a topological space is introduced, some equivalent statements are given, and a Weierstrass-Type theorem for such functions is proved. Moreover, the well-posedness of the minimization problem for regular-global-inf (rgi) and qrgi functions is studied. Furthermore, in the setting of reexive Banach spaces the existence of global minimum points of noncoercive qrgi and transfer weakly lower continuous functions are investigated. We also introduce the concept of nearly quasi-convexity of a function, as a generalization of the quasi-convexity notion, and present a result on the minimization problem of these functions. © 2016 Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics.

In this paper, we introduce the concept of a weak q-distance and for this distance we derive a set-valued version of Ekeland’s variational principle in the setting of uniform spaces. By using this principle, we prove the existence of solutions to a vector optimization problem with a set-valued map. Moreover, we define the (p, ε)-condition of Takahashi and the (p, ε)-condition of Hamel for a set-valued map. It is shown that these two conditions are equivalent. As an application, we discuss the relationship between an ε-approximate solution and a solution of a vector optimization problem with a set-valued map. Also, a well-posedness result for a vector optimization problem with a set-valued map is given. © 2014, Mathematical Society of the Rep. of China. All rights reserved.
