Demiclosedness at a point instead on a set

117 Views Asked by At

I have been reading a few research papers for iterative techniques of approximating fixed points of nonexpansive maps. In one of the papers, I found a lemma which is as follows:-

Theorem 1: Let $C$ be a closed convex subset of a uniformly convex Banach space $E$, and $T$ a nonexpansive map on $C$. Then, $I - T$ is demiclosed at zero.

This lemma was referenced to a theorem in the book "Topics in metric fixed point theory" by Goebel and Kirk. However, in the book, the theorem is stated as follows:-

Theorem 2: Let $E$ be a uniformly convex Banach space and $C$ be a nonempty closed and convex subset of $E$. Let $T: C \rightarrow E$ be a non-expansive mapping. Then, $T$ is demiclosed on $C$.

There are two questions that come to my mind:-

  1. What do we mean by demiclosedness at a point? All the definitions that I could find deal with demiclosedness on a set. In particular, we say that a map $T: C \rightarrow E$ is demiclosed if for any sequence $\left( x_n \right)$ in $C$ which converges weakly to $x \in E$ and $T \left( x_n \right) \rightarrow y$ in $E$, we have $x \in C$ and $f \left( x \right) = y$. How do we extend (or restrict) this definition to define demiclosedness at a point?

  2. Are these two theorems equivalent? If so, does it mean that demiclosedness of a map on a closed and convex subset is same as saying that the demiclosed at a point?


Edit:-

I did find out the meaning of demiclosedness at a point. It is defined as follows:-

Definition: Let $X$ be a Banach space and $T$ be a mapping with domain $D \left( T \right)$ and range $R \left( T \right)$. Then, $T$ is said to be demiclosed at a point $p \in R \left( T \right)$ if for every sequence $\left( x_n \right)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ in $D \left( T \right)$ that converges weakly to a point $x \in D \left( T \right)$ and the sequence $\left( Tx_n \right)_{n \in \mathbb{Z}}$ in $R \left( T \right)$ converges strongly to $p$, we have $Tx = p$.

Now, Theorem $1$ makes sense to me. However, there is still a problem in proving the theorem. While exploring more on the subject, I came across the book "Topics in Fixed Point Theory" by M. A. Khamsi. In that book, a theorem similar to Theorem $1$ is proved. However, it uses Opial's condition. Thus, now the question is: "Is the Theorem $1$ stated here still true for Banach spaces not satisfying Opial's condition?"

Yes this is true. Not all spaces with Opial’s property are uniformly convex and vice versa is true. The sequential space $\ell^1$ is not uniformly convex but has Opial’s property; whereas $\ell^p$ (for $p\in(1,\infty)$) has both Opial’s and uniform convexity property; however, $L^p[0,1]$ (for $p\in(1,\infty)$) has uniform convexity but does not have Opial’s property.
