Existence Theorems on Solvability of Constrained Inclusion Problems and Applications
LetXbe a real locally uniformly convex reflexive Banach space with locally uniformly convex dual spaceX⁎. LetT:X⊇D(T)→2X⁎be a maximal monotone operator andC:X⊇D(C)→X⁎be bounded and continuous withD(T)⊆D(C). The paper provides new existence theorems concerning solvability of inclusion problems involving operators of the typeT+Cprovided thatCis compact orTis of compact resolvents under weak boundary condition. The Nagumo degree mapping and homotopy invariance results are employed. The paper presents existence results under the weakest coercivity condition onT+C. The operatorCis neither required to be defined everywhere nor required to be pseudomonotone type. The results are applied to prove existence of solution for nonlinear variational inequality problems.
