Generic nondegeneracy in convex optimization [PDF]
We show that minimizers of convex functions subject to almost all linear perturbations are nondegenerate. An analogous result holds more generally, for lower-C^2 functions.

Maximal monotone operators with non-empty domain interior; characterizations and continuity properties [PDF]
In the context of general Banach spaces characterizations for the maximal monotonicity of operators with non-empty domain interior as well as stronger continuity properties for such operators are provided.

Note on the existence theory for evolution equations with pseudo-monotone operators [PDF]
In this note we present a framework which allows to prove an abstract existence result for evolution equations with pseudo-monotone operators. The assumptions on the spaces and the operators can be easily verified in concrete examples.

Maximal monotonicity of the subdifferential of a convex function: a direct proof [PDF]
We provide a new proof for maximal monotonicity of the subdifferential of a convex function.

New fixed point results on $G$-metric spaces [PDF]
In this note, we discuss some fixed point theorems for contractive self mappings defined on a $G$-metric spaces. More precisely, we give fised point theorems for mappings with a contractive iterate at a point.

A priori estimates for the Fitzpatrick function [PDF]
New perspectives, proofs, and some extensions of known results are presented concerning the behavior of the Fitzpatrick function of a monotone type operator in the general context of a locally convex space.

Maximal monotone normal cones in locally convex spaces [PDF]
Equivalent conditions that make the normal cone maximal monotone are investigated in the general settings of locally convex spaces. Some consequences such as Bishop Phelps and sum representability results are presented in the last part.

Examples for uniformly monotone operators arising in nonlinear elliptic and parabolic problems [PDF]
We show some examples for uniformly monotone operators arising in weak formulation of nonlinear elliptic and parabolic problems. Besides the classical $p$-Laplacian some other less known examples are given which might be of interest because of applications.

A new characterization of partial metric completeness [PDF]
In this article, we present a new characterization of the completeness of a partial metric space--which we call \textit{orbital characterization}-- using fixed point results.

Recent developments in the fixed point theory of enriched contractive mappings. A survey [PDF]
The aim of this note is threefold: first, to present a few relevant facts about the way in which the technique of enriching contractive mappings was introduced; secondly, to expose the main contributions in the area of enriched mappings established by the authors and their collaborators by using this technique; and third, to survey some related ...
