A Range And Existence Theorem For Pseudomonotone Perturbations Of Maximal Monotone Operators, Vy Khoi Le

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Research & Creative Works

In this paper, we prove a range and existence theorem for multivalued pseudomonotone perturbations of maximal monotone operators. We assume a general coercivity condition on the sum of a maximal monotone and a pseudomonotone operator instead of a condition on the pseudomonotone operator only. An illustrative example of a variational inequality in a Sobolev space with variable exponent is given.
