Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is dedicated to publishing previously unpublished original papers with a high impact in all domains of set-valued analysis, both in theory and in applications. Set-valued analysis has made remarkable progress in the last 70 years, enriching itself continuously with new concepts, important results, and special applications. Different problems arising in the theory of control, economics, decision theory, game theory, nonlinear programming, biomathematics, or statistics have strengthened the theoretical base and the specific techniques of set-valued analysis. The consistency of its theoretical approach and the multitude of its applications have transformed set-valued analysis into a reference field of modern mathematics that attracts an impressive number of researchers.

Abstract
Four different types of convolutions of aggregation functions (the upper, the lower, the super-, and the sub-convolution) are examined in the setting of both sub- and super-decomposition integrals defined on a finite space. Examples of the results of the paper are provided. As [...] Read more.
Four different types of convolutions of aggregation functions (the upper, the lower, the super-, and the sub-convolution) are examined in the setting of both sub- and super-decomposition integrals defined on a finite space. Examples of the results of the paper are provided. As a by-product, the super-additive transformation of sub-decomposition integrals and the sub-additive transformation of super-decomposition integrals are fully characterized. Possible applications are indicated. Full article

This paper is devoted to the study of perturbation evolution problems involving time-dependent m-accretive operators. We present for a specific class of m-accretive operators with convex weakly compact-valued perturbation, some results about the existence of absolutely continuous solutions and BRVC solutions. We finish by giving several applications to various domains such as relaxation results, second-order evolution inclusions, fractional-order equations coupled with m-accretive operators and Skorohod differential inclusions.

In this paper, we study a semilinear integro-differential inclusion in Banach spaces, under the action of infinitely many impulses. We provide the existence of mild solutions on a half-line by means of the so-called extension-with-memory technique, which consists of breaking down the problem in an iterate sequence of non-impulsive Cauchy problems, each of them originated by a solution of the previous one. The key that allows us to employ this method is the definition of suitable auxiliary set-valued functions that imitate the original set-valued nonlinearity at any step of the problem’s iteration. As an example of application, we deduce the controllability of a population dynamics process with distributed delay and impulses. That is, we ensure the existence of a pair trajectory-control, meaning a possible evolution of a population and of a feedback control for a system that undergoes sudden changes caused by external forces and depends on its past with fading memory.

In this paper, we consider the max-product neural network operators of the Kantorovich type based on certain linear combinations of sigmoidal and ReLU activation functions. In general, it is well-known that max-product type operators have applications in problems related to probability and fuzzy theory, involving both real and interval/set valued functions. In particular, here we face inverse approximation problems for the above family of sub-linear operators. We first establish their saturation order for a certain class of functions; i.e., we show that if a continuous and non-decreasing function f can be approximated by a rate of convergence higher than 1/n, as n goes to +, then f must be a constant. Furthermore, we prove a local inverse theorem of approximation; i.e., assuming that f can be approximated with a rate of convergence of 1/n, then f turns out to be a Lipschitz continuous function.

We apply the random controllers to stabilize pseudo Riemann–Liouville fractional equations in MB-spaces and investigate existence and uniqueness of their solutions. Next, we compute the optimum error of the estimate. The mentioned process i.e., stabilization by a control function and finding an approximation for a pseudo functional equation is called random HUR stability. We use a fixed point technique derived from the alternative fixed point theorem (FPT) to investigate random HUR stability of the Riemann–Liouville fractional equations in MB-spaces. As an application, we introduce a class of random Wright control function and investigate existence–uniqueness and Wright stability of these equations in MB-spaces. Full article
