Set Valued Mappings With Applications In Nonlinear Analysis

Interest in the mathematical analysis of multi-functions has increased rapidly over the past thirty years, partly because of its applications in fields such as biology, control theory and optimization, economics, game theory, and physics. Set Valued Mappings with Applications to Nonlinear Analysis contains 29 research articles from leading mathematicians in this area. The contributors were invited to submit papers on topics such as integral inclusion, ordinary and partial differential inclusions, fixed point theorems, boundary value problems, and optimal control. This collection will be of interest to researchers in analysis and will pave the way for the creation of new mathematics in the future.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the authors' pioneering contributions to nonlinear set-valued analysis by topological methods. The coverage includes fixed point theory, degree theory, the KKM principle, variational inequality theory, the Nash equilibrium point in mathematical economics, the Pareto optimum in optimization, and applications to best approximation theory, partial equations and boundary value problems.Self-contained and unified in presentation, the book considers the existence of equilibrium points of abstract economics in topological vector spaces from the viewpoint of Ky Fan minimax inequalities. It also provides the latest developments in KKM theory and degree theory for nonlinear set-valued mappings.

This book offers a systematic presentation of up-to-date material scattered throughout the literature from the methodology point of view. It reviews the basic theories and methods, with many interesting problems in partial and ordinary differential equations, differential geometry and mathematical physics as applications, and provides the necessary preparation for almost all important aspects in contemporary studies. All methods are illustrated by carefully chosen examples from mechanics, physics, engineering and geometry.

This reference provides a lucid introduction to the principles and applications of Knaster-Kuratowski-Mazurkiewicz (KKM) theory and explores related topics in nonlinear set-valued analysis.

In this innovative work, 43 distinguished contributors present the latest developments together with surveys of the field. Coverage encompasses several closely related disciplines and most of the results shown in this volume are unavailable in any other source. Among the important topics addressed are applications to the theory of ordinary differential equations of generalized order, degree theoretic methods in optimal control, numerical treatment of a nonlinear problem arising in heat transfer, and applications of fixed point theorems to problems in optimization and best approximation. Encouraging interdisciplinary research to stimulate further advances, Nonlinear Analysis and Applications serves as the vital reference for mathematicians, researchers, and graduate students engaged in applied mathematics, engineering, physics, industrial science, economics, optimization, probability, medicinal and operational research, and differential equations. Additionally, it is eminently suitable for use in professional seminars.
