Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Applied functional analysis is very important in most applied research fields, and its influence has grown in recent decades. It seems that most novel papers have used techniques, idea, notions, and methods of applied functional analysis.  Applied functional analysis includes linear and nonlinear problems from numerical analysis, systems theory, calculus of variations, control and optimization theory, convex and non-smooth analysis, and more.

This Special Issue deals mainly with the theoretical functional analysis approaches to mathematical problems that are related to our real world. All significant areas of applications of functional analysis including new developments in functional analysis and contributions to important problems in and challenges to functional analysis are welcome. We also accept problems arising from linear, nonlinear, conic, stochastic, discrete, and dynamic optimization, variational and convex analysis including high-quality research or review papers in this Special Issue.

The purpose of this Special Issue is to connect the efforts of mathematicians, engineers, and other scientists for whom applied functional analysis is important in their research activities.

In this paper, we study a Yosida variational inclusion problem with its corresponding Yosida resolvent equation problem. We mention some schemes to solve both the problems, but we focus our study on discussing convergence criteria for the Yosida variational inclusion problem in real Banach space and for the Yosida resolvent equation problem in q-uniformly smooth Banach space. For faster convergence, we apply an inertial extrapolation scheme for both the problems. An example is provided. Full article

In the present work, we have introduced a new type of (ξ,ω)-weakly cyclic generalized contraction in the setting of metric spaces and established some fixed-point results. Fixed-point results are useful in establishing the existence of unique solution to differential equations. We have supplemented the derived results with suitable non-trivial examples with an application to the Boundary Value Problem, generalizing some known results. The analytical result has been verified with numerical simulation. Full article

This paper discusses optimality conditions for Borwein proper efficient solutions of nonsmooth multiobjective optimization problems with vanishing constraints. A new notion in terms of contingent cone and upper directional derivative is introduced, and a necessary condition for the Borwein proper efficient solution of the considered problem is derived. The concept of ε proper Abadie data qualification is also introduced, and a necessary condition which is called a strictly strong stationary condition for Borwein proper efficient solutions is obtained. In view of the strictly strong stationary condition, convexity of the objective functions, and quasi-convexity of constrained functions, sufficient conditions for the Borwein proper efficient solutions are presented. Some examples are given to illustrate the reasonability of the obtained results. Full article

In this paper, we solve a system of mixed variational inclusions involving a generalized Cayley operator and the generalized Yosida approximation operator. An iterative algorithm is suggested to discuss the convergence analysis. We have shown that our system admits a unique solution by using the properties of q-uniformly smooth Banach space, and we discuss the convergence criteria for sequences generated by iterative algorithm. Two examples are constructed, and an application is provided. Full article

To obtain the solution of the system of generalized variational inclusions involving Cayley operators and an XOR-operation, we use some properties of Cayley operators as well as an XOR-operation. We also discuss the convergence criterion. In support of our main result, we provide an example. Full article

In a real Hilbert space, let the CFPP, VIP, and HFPP denote the common fixed-point problem of countable nonexpansive operators and asymptotically nonexpansive operator, variational inequality problem, and hierarchical fixed point problem, respectively. With the help of the Mann iteration method, a subgradient extragradient approach with a linear-search process, and a hybrid deepest-descent technique, we construct two modified Mann-type subgradient extragradient rules with a linear-search process for finding a common solution of the CFPP and VIP. Under suitable assumptions, we demonstrate the strong convergence of the suggested rules to a common solution of the CFPP and VIP, which is only a solution of a certain HFPP. Full article

Equilibrium problems are articulated in a variety of mathematical computing applications, including minimax and numerical programming, saddle-point problems, fixed-point problems, and variational inequalities. In this paper, we introduce improved iterative techniques for evaluating the numerical solution of an equilibrium problem in a Hilbert space with a pseudomonotone and a Lipschitz-type bifunction. These techniques are based on two computing steps of a proximal-like mapping with inertial terms. We investigated two simplified stepsize rules that do not require a line search, allowing the technique to be carried out more successfully without knowledge of the Lipschitz-type constant of the cost bifunction. Once control parameter constraints are put in place, the iterative sequences converge on a particular solution to the problem. We prove strong convergence theorems without knowing the Lipschitz-type bifunction constants. A sequence of numerical tests was performed, and the results confirmed the correctness and speedy convergence of the new techniques over the traditional ones. Full article

This work studies certain perturbed and un-perturbed nonlinear systems of continuous and discrete integro-delay differential equations (IDDEs). Using the Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional (LKF) method and the Lyapunov–Razumikhin method (LRM), uniform asymptotic stability (UAS), uniform stability (US), integrability and boundedness of solutions as well as exponential stability (ES) and instability of solutions are discussed. In this paper, five new theorems and a corollary are given and three numerical applications are provided with their simulations. With this work, we aim to make new contributions to the theory of the continuous and discrete integro-differential equations. Full article

In a real Hilbert space, let the VIP denote a pseudomonotone variational inequality problem with Lipschitz continuity operator, and let the CFPP indicate a common fixed-point problem of finitely many nonexpansive mappings and an asymptotically nonexpansive mapping. On the basis of the Mann iteration method, the viscosity approximation method and the hybrid steepest-descent method, we propose and analyze two strengthened inertial-type subgradient extragradient rules with adaptive step sizes for solving the VIP and CFPP. With the help of suitable restrictions, we show the strong convergence of the suggested rules to a common solution of the VIP and CFPP, which is the unique solution of a hierarchical variational inequality (HVI).
