Let H: Mm Mm be a holomorphic function of the algebra Mm of complex m m matrices. Suppose that H is orthogonally additive and orthogonally multiplicative on self-adjoint elements. We show that either the range of H consists of zero trace elements, or there is a scalar sequence {n} and an invertible S in Mm such that

Let be a real reflexive Banach space with a weakly continuous duality mapping . Let be a nonempty weakly closed star-shaped (with respect to ) subset of . Let = be a uniformly continuous semigroup of asymptotically nonexpansive self-mappings of , which is uniformly continuous at zero. We will show that the implicit iteration scheme: , for all , converges strongly to a common fixed point of the semigroup for some suitably chosen parameters and . Our results extend and improve corresponding ones of Suzuki (2002), Xu (2005), and Zegeye and Shahzad (2009).

It has been a successful practice to define a canonical pre-ordering on a normed space using the inclusion of faces of its closed dual unit ball. This pre-ordering reflects some geometric property in a natural way. In this article, we will give an algebraic description of this pre-ordering in the case of complex C*-algebras as well as that of their self-adjoint parts. In developing our theory we introduce the essential support of an element, which is closely related to the notion of peak projections studied recently by Blecher and Hay. As applications, we give some interesting facts about weak*-closed faces, and will identify the quasi-maximal elements and the quasi-minimal elements with respects to this pre-ordering. They are closely related to the extreme points and the smooth points of the unit sphere of the C*-algebra.

Let <i>M</i> be a compact connected (topological) manifold of finite- or infinite-dimension <i>n</i>. Let 0 <i>r</i> 1 be arbitrary but fixed. We construct in this paper a space-filling curve <i>f</i> from [0,1] onto <i>M</i>, under which <i>M</i> is the image of a compact set <i>A</i> of Hausdorff dimension <i>r</i>. Moreover, the restriction of f to <i>A</i> is one-to-one over the image of a dense subset provided that 0 <i>r</i> log|2^<i>n</i>/log(2^<i>n</i> + 2). The proof is based on the special case where <i>M</i> is the Hilbert cube [0,1].

A convex subset B of a real locally convex space B is said to have the separation property if it can be separated from every closed convex subset B of B , which is disjoint from B , by a closed hyperplane. The strong separation theorem says that if B is weakly compact, then it has the separation property. In this paper, we present two versions of the converse and discuss an application of them. For example, we prove that a normed space is reflexive if and only if its closed unit ball has the separation property. Results in this paper can be considered as supplements of the famous theorem of James.

In this paper, using the concept of attractive points of a nonlinear mapping, we obtain a strong convergence theorem of Halperns type [<i>Bull. Amer. Math. Soc</i>. <b>73</b> (1967), 957961] for a wide class of nonlinear mappings which contains nonexpansive mappings, nonspreading mappings and hybrid mappings in a Hilbert space. Using this result, we obtain well-known and new strong convergence theorems of Halperns type in a Hilbert space. In particular, we solve a problem posed by Kurokawa and Takahashi [<i>Nonlinear Anal</i>. <b>73</b> (2010, 15621568].

In this paper, we introduce and study a triple hierarchical variational inequality (THVI) with constraints of minimization and equilibrium problems. More precisely, let Fix ( T ) be the fixed point set of a nonexpansive mapping, let Fix ( T ) be the solution set of a mixed equilibrium problem (MEP), and let <i></i> be the solution set of a minimization problem (MP) for a convex and continuously Frechet differential functional in Hilbert spaces. We want to find a solution Fix ( T ) of a variational inequality with a variational inequality constraint over the intersection of Fix ( T ) , Fix ( T ) , and <i></i>. We propose a hybrid iterative algorithm with regularization to compute approximate solutions of the THVI, and we present the convergence analysis of the proposed iterative algorithm.

We study maps of positive operators of the Schatten -classes (), which preserve the -norms of convex combinations, that is, . They are exactly those carrying the form for a unitary or antiunitary . In the case , we have the same conclusion whenever it just holds for all the positive Hilbert-Schmidt class operators of norm . Some examples are demonstrated.

Necessary conditions of optimality are derived for multiobjective optimal control problems with pathwise state constraints, in which the dynamics constrain is modeled as a differential inclusion. The obtained result extends results of [2] and [29].

Let <i>C</i> be a nonempty closed convex subset of a real Hilbert space <i>H</i>. Let <i>S</i> : <i>C</i> <i>C</i> be an asymptotically nonexpansive map in the intermediate sense with the fixed point set <i>F</i>(<i>S</i>). Let <i>A</i> : <i>C</i> <i>H</i> be a Lipschitz continuous map, and <i>VI</i>(<i>C, A</i>) be the set of solutions <i>u</i> <i>C</i> of the variational inequality
