A continuous regularization method of the first order for nonlinear monotone equations (Q2479643)

Let \(X\) be a uniformly convex and uniformly smooth Banach space, \(A:X\rightarrow X^{\ast}\) be a monotone, boundedly Hölder continuous operator, and \(f\in X^{\ast}\). The main result of the paper is that, under suitable conditions, the normal solution of the equation \(Ax=f\) (i.e., the solution with minimum norm) is the norm limit of the trajectory of the first order problem \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{dJy(t)}{dt}+A(t)y(t)+\alpha(t)Jy(t) & =f(t),\\ y(t_{0}) & =y_{0}, \end{aligned} \] as \(t\rightarrow+\infty\), for any initial element \(y_{0}\). Here, \(J\) is the duality mapping, \(A(\cdot)\) and \(f(\cdot)\) are perturbations of \(A\) and \(f\), and \(\alpha(t)\) is a suitable differentiable positive decreasing function.
