Ekeland's variational principle, minimax theorems and existence of nonconvex equilibria in complete metric spaces

open access: yes, 2006
In this paper, we introduce the concept of τ-function which generalizes the concept of w-distance studied in the literature. We establish a generalized Ekeland's variational principle in the setting of lower semicontinuous from above and τ-functions.

The impact of bureaucracy and managerialism on relationship‐based practise: A mixed methods study of frontline social work in Northern Ireland

open access: yesSocial Policy &Administration, Volume 59, Issue 3, Page 438-453, May 2025.
Abstract Combining quantitative data from a national survey (n = 252) with qualitative interviews with frontline social workers (n = 16), this manuscript examines the ways in which bureaucracy and managerialism has impacted social work in Northern Ireland, with specific attention to relationship‐based practise.

Ekeland's variational principle for vector optimization with variable ordering structure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
There are many generalizations of Ekeland's variational principle for vector optimization problems with fixed ordering structures, i.e., ordering cones.

Ekeland's variational principle and its equivalent theorems in vector optimization

open access: yes, 2008
We present a simple proof of vectorial Ekeland's variational principle, vectorial Caristi's fixed point theorem and vectorial Takahashi's nonconvex minimization theorem.

The Future of Artificial Intelligence in Mental Health Nursing Practice: An Integrative Review

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mental Health Nursing, Volume 34, Issue 1, February 2025.
ABSTRACT Artificial intelligence (AI) has been increasingly used in delivering mental healthcare worldwide. Within this context, the traditional role of mental health nurses has been changed and challenged by AI‐powered cutting‐edge technologies emerging in clinical practice. The aim of this integrative review is to identify and synthesise the evidence

Professional perspectives on characteristics of legitimacy in court‐based mediation

open access: yesFamily Court Review, Volume 63, Issue 1, Page 138-154, January 2025.
Abstract In Norway, court‐based mediation involves judges, lawyers, and psychologists working as a mediation team to bring settlement and avoid litigation. This article reports from a qualitative study with twenty‐two judges, psychologists, and lawyers from four district courts.

Stochastic singular optimal control problem of switching systems with constraints

open access: yesJournal of Inequalities and Applications, 2016
This paper is devoted to the optimal control problem of switching system in which constraints on the state variable are given by inclusions. Using Ekeland’s variational principle, second-order necessary condition of optimality for stochastic switching ...

Some new results on stability of Ekeland's ϵ-variational principle

open access: yes, 2008
In this paper, we give an example and point out that ϵ-solutions of Ekeland's variational principle are not always lower semicontinuous in infinite-dimensional Banach spaces, even with respect to the uniform metric.

Time‐inconsistent contract theory

open access: yesMathematical Finance, Volume 34, Issue 3, Page 1022-1085, July 2024.
Abstract This paper investigates the moral hazard problem in finite horizon with both continuous and lump‐sum payments, involving a time‐inconsistent sophisticated agent and a standard utility maximizer principal: Building upon the so‐called dynamic programming approach in Cvitanić et al.

Multiple solutions for Kirchhoff type problems involving super-linear and sub-linear terms

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Qualitative Theory of Differential Equations, 2016
In this paper, we consider the multiplicity of solutions for a class of Kirchhoff type problems with concave and convex nonlinearities on an unbounded domain.
