We introduce a new implicit iterative scheme with perturbation for finding the approximate solutions of a hierarchical variational inequality, that is, a variational inequality over the common fixed point set of a finite family of nonexpansive mappings. We establish some convergence theorems for the sequence generated by the proposed implicit iterative scheme. In particular, necessary and sufficient conditions for the strong convergence of the sequence are obtained.

Let X and Y be locally compact Hausdorff spaces. We give a full description of disjointness preserving Fredholm linear operators T from C0(X) into C0(Y), and show that is continuous if either Y contains no isolated point or T has closed range. Our task is achieved by writing T as a weighted composition operator Tf = h f . Through the relative homeomorphism , the structure of the range space of T can be completely analyzed, and X and Y are homeomorphic after removing finite subsets.

We study an implicit predictor-corrector iteration process for finitely many asymptotically quasi-nonexpansive self-mappings on a nonempty closed convex subset of a Banach space. We derive a necessary and sufficient condition for the strong convergence of this iteration process to a common fixed point of these mappings. In the case is a uniformly convex Banach space and the mappings are asymptotically nonexpansive, we verify the weak (resp., strong) convergence of this iteration process to a common fixed point of these mappings if Opial's condition is satisfied (resp., one of these mappings is semicompact). Our results improve and extend earlier and recent ones in the literature.

Let <i>T</i> be a compact disjointness preserving linear operator from <i>C</i>₀(<i>X</i>) into <i>C</i>₀(<i>Y</i>), where <i>X</i> and <i>Y</i> are locally compact Hausdorff spaces. We show that <i>T</i> can be represented as a norm convergent countable sum of disjoint rank one operators. More precisely, <i>T</i> = _<i>n</i> <i></i> <i>h_n</i> for a (possibly finite) sequence {<i>x_n</i> }_<i>n</i> of distinct points in <i>X</i> and a norm null sequence {<i>h_n</i> }_<i>n</i> of mutually disjoint functions in <i>C</i>₀(<i>Y</i>). Moreover, we develop a graph theoretic method to describe the spectrum of such an operator ( 2009 WILEYVCH Verlag GmbH &amp; Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

Let be a locally compact Hausdorff space. We show that any local -linear map (where" local" is a weaker notion than -linearity) between Banach -modules are" nearly -linear" and" nearly bounded". As an application, a local -linear map between Hilbert -modules is automatically -linear. If, in addition, contains no isolated point, then any -linear map between Hilbert -modules is automatically bounded. Another application is that if a sequence of maps between two Banach spaces" preserve -sequences"(or" preserve ultra- -sequences"), then is bounded for large enough and they have a common bound. Moreover, we will show that if is a bijective" biseparating" linear map from a" full" essential Banach -module into a" full" Hilbert -module (where is another locally compact Hausdorff space), then is" nearly bounded"(in fact, it is automatically bounded if or contains no isolated point) and there exists a homeomorphism such that ( ).
