In cone uniform and uniform spaces, we introduce the three kinds of dissipative set-valued dynamic systems with generalized pseudodistances and not necessarily lower semicontinuous entropies, we study the convergence of dynamic processes and generalized sequences of iterations of these dissipative dynamic systems, and we establish conditions guaranteeing the existence of periodic points and endpoints of these dissipative dynamic systems and the convergence to these periodic points and endpoints of dynamic processes and generalized sequences of iterations of these dissipative dynamic systems. The paper includes examples.
1. Introduction
A set-valued dynamic system is defined as a pair , where is a certain space and is a set-valued map ; in particular, a set-valued dynamic system includes the usual dynamic system where is a single-valued map. Here denotes the family of all nonempty subsets of a space .
Let be a dynamic system. By , , and we denote the sets of all fixed points, periodic points, and endpoints of , respectively, that is, = , = for some and = . For each , a sequence such that
is called a dynamic process or a trajectory starting at of the system (for details see Aubin and Siegel [1], Aubin and Ekeland [2], and Aubin and Frankowska [3]). For each , a sequence such that
(-times), , is called a generalized sequence of iterations starting at of the system (for details see Yuan [4, page 557], Tarafdar and Vyborny [5] and Tarafdar and Yuan [6]). Each dynamic process starting from is a generalized sequence of iterations starting from , but the converse may not be true; the set is, in general, bigger than . If is single valued, then, for each , a sequence such that
is called a Picard iteration starting at of the system . If is single valued, then (1.1)–(1.3) are identical.
The notion of Banach’s contraction belongs to the most fundamental mathematical ideas. Caristi [7], Ekeland [8], Aubin and Siegel [1], Yuan [4], and Kirk [9] extended this notion to several directions (dissipative single-valued maps with lower semicontinuous entropies, variational inequlities for lower semicontinuous maps, dissipative set-valued dynamic systems with not necessarily lower semicontinuous entropies, generalized contractions and asymptotic contractions, resp.). It is not our purpose to give a complete list of related papers here.
Let be a metric space with metric and let be a single-valued dynamic system. Racall that if
then is called a Banach's contraction (Banach [10]). is called contractive if . If , then is called -contractive (Edelstein [11]). Contractive and -contractive maps are some modifications of Banach’s contractions.
If is single valued and
for some , then is called Caristi's map (Caristi [7]). Caristi’s maps (1.5) generalize Banach's contractions (1.4) (for details see Kirk and Saliga [12, page 2766]). Banach’s contraction principle and Caristi's fixed point theorem are essentially different: in complete metric space, Banach’s contraction is continuous, each Picard iteration of this contraction is convergent to a fixed point and this fixed point is unique (Banach [10]) while Caristi’s map is not necessarily continuous and if in (1.5) is lower semicontinuous, then each Picard iteration of this map is convergent to a fixed point and this fixed point is not necessarily unique (Caristi [7]). Recall that Ekeland’s [8] variational principle concerning lower semicontinuous maps and Caristi's fixed point theorem are equivalent.
A map is called a weak entropy or entropy of a set-valued dynamic system if
or
respectively, and is called weak dissipative or dissipative if it has a weak entropy or an entropy, respectively; here is not necessarily lower semicontinuous. These two kinds of dissipative maps were introduced and studied by Aubin and Siegel [1]. If is single valued, then (1.5)–(1.7) are identical.
Various periodic, fixed point, convergence, and invariant set theorems for contractive and -contractive single-valued and set-valued dynamic systems have been obtained by Edelstein [11], Ding and Nadler [13], and Nadler [14]. Investigations concerning the existence of fixed points and endpoints and convergence of dynamic processes or generalized sequences of iterations to fixed points or endpoints of single-valued and set-valued generalized contractions (Yuan [4], Tarafdar and Yuan [6, 15], Tarafdar and Chowdhury [16], Tarafdar and Vyborny [5]) and dissipative dynamic systems when entropy is not necessarily lower semicontinuous (Aubin and Siegel [1]) have been conducted by a number of authors in different contexts; for example, see Kirk and Saliga [12], Willems [17], Zangwill [18], Justman [19], Maschler and Peleg [20] and Petruşel, Sîntămărian [21].
In this paper, inspired by these results, we introduce in cone uniform and uniform spaces the three kinds of dissipative set-valued dynamic systems with generalized pseudodistances and with not necessarily lower semicontinuous entropies and we present the methods which are useful for establishing general conditions guaranteeing the existence of periodic points and endpoints of these set-valued dynamic systems and conditions that for each starting point the dynamic processes or generalized sequences of iterations converge and the limit is a periodic point or endpoint (see Sections 3–6). The presented definitions and results are more general and different from those given in the literature and are new even for single-valued and set-valued dynamic systems in metric spaces. For details, see Section 7 where examples, remarks, and some comparisons are included. This paper is a continuation of [22, 23].
2. Dissipative Set-Valued Dynamic Systems with Generalized Pseudodistances in Cone Uniform Spaces
We define a real normed space to be a pair , with the understanding that a vector space over carries the topology generated by the metric , .
A nonempty closed convex set is called a cone in if it satisfies: () ; () ; () .
It is clear that each cone defines, by virtue of “ if and only if ,” an order of under which is an ordered normed space with cone . We will write to indicate that but .
The following terminologies will be much used.
Definition 2.1 (see [22]). Let be a nonempty set and let be an ordered normed space with cone . (i)The family is said to be a -family of cone pseudometrics on -family, for short if the following three conditions hold:();();(). (ii)If is -family, then the pair is called a cone uniform space.(iii)A -family is said to be separating if(). (iv)If a -family is separating, then the pair is called a Hausdorff cone uniform space.
A cone is said to be solid if ; denotes the interior of . We will write to indicate that .
Definition 2.2. Let be an ordered normed space with solid cone and let be a cone uniform space with cone .(i)We say that a sequence in is a -convergent in , if there exists such that .(ii)We say that a sequence in is a -Cauchy sequence in , if .(iii)If every -Cauchy sequence in is -convergent in , then is called a -sequentially complete cone uniform space.(iv)The set-valued dynamic system is called a cone closed set-valued dynamic system in if whenever is a sequence in X -converging to and is a sequence -converging to such that for all , then .(v)Let be a -sequentially complete cone uniform space. For an arbitrary subset of , the cone closure of , denoted by , is defined as the set . The subset of is said to be a cone closed subset in if .
The cone is normal if a real number exists such that for each , implies . The number satisfying the above is called the normal constant of .
The following holds.
Theorem 2.3 (see [22]). Let be an ordered normed space with normal solid cone and let be a cone uniform space with cone . (a)Let be a sequence in and let . Then the sequence is -convergent to if and only if (b)Let be a sequence in . Then the sequence is a -Cauchy sequence if and only if (c) Each -convergent sequence is a -Cauchy sequence.
Definition 2.4. Let be an ordered normed space with normal solid cone and let be a cone uniform space with cone .(i)The family , is said to be a -family of cone pseudodistances on -family on , for short if the following three conditions hold:();();()for any sequence in such that
if there exists a sequence in satisfying
then
(ii)Let the family be a -family on . We say that a sequence in is a -Cauchy sequence in if (2.3) holds.
For other families of cone pseudodistances in cone uniform spaces and various applications, see [22, 23]. The following is a consequence of Definition 2.4(i).
Proposition 2.5. Let be a Hausdorff cone uniform space with cone . Let the family be a -family. If , then .
Proof. Let be such that = = . By (2), + . By (1), this gives = . Thus, we get and where , , , and, by (3), , that is, . Hence, = which, according to (4), implies that = .
Now we introduce the following three kinds of dissipative set-valued dynamic systems with generalized pseudodistances in cone uniform spaces (conditions (ii)–(iv) below).
Definition 2.6. Let be a Hausdorff cone uniform space and let be a set-valued dynamic system. Let be a -family on and let be a family of maps such that (i)We say that a sequence in is ,-admissible if
(ii)If the following conditions are satisfied:; and(C2) if and only if there exists a -admissible dynamic process starting at of the system ,
then we say that is weak -dissipative on
(iii)We say that is -dissipative on if, for each , each dynamic process starting at of the system is -admissible.(iv)We say that is strictly -dissipative on if, for each , each generalized sequence of iterations starting at of the system is -admissible.
If one of the conditions (ii)–(iv) holds, then we say that is a dissipative set-valued dynamic system with respect to (dissipative set-valued dynamic system, for short).
Remark 2.7. It is worth noticing that if a sequence in is -admissible, then, for each , a sequence is -admissible. Consequently, if is weak -dissipative on , , and is a dynamic process starting at of the system which is -admissible, then ; in general, (see Example 7.3).
Now we can give the following conclusion.
Proposition 2.8. Let be a Hausdorff cone uniform space and let be a set-valued dynamic system. (a)If is weak -dissipative on , then , is a set-valued dynamic system where, for each , (b)If is ,-dissipative on , then , is a set-valued dynamic system where, for each , (c)If is strictly ,-dissipative on , then , is a set-valued dynamic system where, for each ,
Proof. The fact that
follows from (1.1), (1.2), Definition 2.6, Remark 2.7, and (2.8)–(2.13).
Remark 2.9. By Proposition 2.8 and Definition 2.6, we get:(i)If is ,-dissipative on , then is weak -dissipative on for and .(ii)If is strictly ,-dissipative on , then is ,-dissipative on and .
Definition 2.10. Let be an ordered normed space with solid cone . The cone is called regular if for every incresing (decresing) sequence which is bounded from above (below), that is, if for each sequence in such that for some , there exists such that .
Remark 2.11. Every regular cone is normal; see [24].
3. Periodic Point and Convergence Theorem for Weak -Dissipative, ,-Dissipative, and Strictly ,-Dissipative Set-Valued Dynamic Systems in Cone Uniform Spaces
Our main result of this section is the following.
Theorem 3.1. Let be an ordered Banach space with a regular solid cone and let be a Hausdorff sequentially complete cone uniform space with cone . Let be a -family on and let be a family of maps such that . Let be a set-valued dynamic system. The following hold. (a)If is weak ,-dissipative on , then, for each and for each dynamic process , there exists such that is -convergent to . If, in addition, the map is cone closed in for some , then .(b)If is ,-dissipative on , then, for each and for each dynamic process , there exists such that is -convergent to . If, in addition, the map is cone closed in for some , then .(c)If is strictly ,-dissipative on , then, for each and for each generalized sequence of iterations , there exists such that is -convergent to . If, in addition, the map is cone closed in for some , then, for each , there exists a generalized sequence of iterations and such that is -convergent to and .
Proof. The proof will be broken into three steps.Step 1. Let () and ; or () and . We show that () is -Cauchy and -Cauchy, that is,
respectively; see Definitions 2.4(ii) and 2.2(ii) and Theorem 2.3(b).Indeed, since is transitive, by (2.9), (2.11), (2.13), Definition 2.6(ii)–(iv) and (1), we get that . According to (2.6), for each , the sequence is contained in , bounded from below and, by the above, nonincreasing. Since is a closed and regular cone, it follows that
Let now and be arbitrary and fixed. By (3.3),
where is a normal constant of (see Remark 2.11). Furthermore, for , using (1), (2), and (2.7), and next, by (3.4) and the fact that is normal (see Remark 2.11), = . Therefore, (3.1) holds.
Also we can show that (3.2) holds. Indeed, by (3.1),
