Metric or partial metric spaces endowed with a finite number of graphs: a tool to obtain fixed point results
2014
Abstract We give some fixed point theorems in the setting of metric spaces or partial metric spaces endowed with a finite number of graphs. The presented results extend and improve several well-known results in the literature. In particular, we discuss a Caristi type fixed point theorem in the setting of partial metric spaces, which has a close relation to Ekelandʼs principle.
A non-linear version of Hunt-Lion's theorem from the point of view of T-accretivity
1992
In the classical topological context, Dellacherie [10] has given a non-linear version of Hunt's theorem characterizing the proper kernels verifying the complete maximum principle as those closing a submarkovian resolvent. In this paper we study the relation between this non-linear version of Hunt's theorem and T-accretivity.
If a DOL language is k-power free then it is circular
1993
We prove that if a DOL language is k-power free then it is circular. By using this result we are able to give an algorithm which decides whether, fixed an integer k≥1, a DOL language is k-power free; we are also able to give a new simpler proof of a result, previously obtained by Ehrenfeucht and Rozenberg, that states that it is decidable whether a DOL language is k-power free for some integer k≥1.
A weak comparison principle for solutions of very degenerate elliptic equations
2012
We prove a comparison principle for weak solutions of elliptic quasilinear equations in divergence form whose ellipticity constants degenerate at every point where \(\nabla u\in K\), where \(K\subset \mathbb{R }^N\) is a Borel set containing the origin.
The Bishop–Phelps–Bollobás theorem for operators
2008
AbstractWe prove the Bishop–Phelps–Bollobás theorem for operators from an arbitrary Banach space X into a Banach space Y whenever the range space has property β of Lindenstrauss. We also characterize those Banach spaces Y for which the Bishop–Phelps–Bollobás theorem holds for operators from ℓ1 into Y. Several examples of classes of such spaces are provided. For instance, the Bishop–Phelps–Bollobás theorem holds when the range space is finite-dimensional, an L1(μ)-space for a σ-finite measure μ, a C(K)-space for a compact Hausdorff space K, or a uniformly convex Banach space.
Fixed point theorems for -contractive type mappings
2012
Abstract In this paper, we introduce a new concept of α – ψ -contractive type mappings and establish fixed point theorems for such mappings in complete metric spaces. Starting from the Banach contraction principle, the presented theorems extend, generalize and improve many existing results in the literature. Moreover, some examples and applications to ordinary differential equations are given here to illustrate the usability of the obtained results.
Comparing weak versions of separability
2012
Our aim is to investigate spaces with sigma-discrete and meager dense sets, as well as selective versions of these properties. We construct numerous examples to point out the differences between these classes while answering questions of Tkachuk [30], Hutchinson [17] and the authors of [8].
Conditional Random Quantities and Compounds of Conditionals
2013
In this paper we consider finite conditional random quantities and conditional previsions assessments in the setting of coherence. We use a suitable representation for conditional random quantities; in particular the indicator of a conditional event $E|H$ is looked at as a three-valued quantity with values 1, or 0, or $p$, where $p$ is the probability of $E|H$. We introduce a notion of iterated conditional random quantity of the form $(X|H)|K$ defined as a suitable conditional random quantity, which coincides with $X|HK$ when $H \subseteq K$. Based on a recent paper by S. Kaufmann, we introduce a notion of conjunction of two conditional events and then we analyze it in the setting of cohere…
Superposition in Classes of Ultradifferentiable Functions
2006
We present a complete characterization of the classes of ultradifferentiable functions that are holomorphically closed. Moreover, we show that any class holomorphically closed is also closed under composition (now without restrictions on the number of variables). In this case, we also discuss continuity and differentiability properties of the non-linear superposition operator g → f ◦ g.
