On uniformly continuous Nemytskij operators generated by set-valued functions (Q623398)

The properties of superposition operators generated by set-valued functions are studied. The main result is the following. Theorem. Let \(I = [0, 1]\) and \(Y\) be a real normed linear space, \(Z\) be a Banach space and let \(C\) be a convex cone in \(Y\). Assume that \(\gamma: [0, \infty) \rightarrow [0, \infty)\) is continuous at \(0\), \(\gamma(0) = 0\), and the superposition operator \(N\) is generated by a set-valued function \(F: I\times C \rightarrow cl b (Z)\). (a) Suppose that \(N\) maps \(H_{\alpha}(I, C)\) into \(H_{\beta}(I, cl b (Z))\) and \[ d_{\beta}(N \varphi, N \overline{\varphi}) \leq \gamma(\|\varphi - \overline{\varphi}\|_{\alpha}), \quad \varphi, \overline{\varphi} \in H_{\alpha}(I, C). \tag{1} \] Then there exist functions \(A: I\times C \rightarrow cl b (Z)\) and \(B: I \rightarrow cl b (Z)\) such that \(A(\cdot, y), B\in H_{\beta}(I, cl b (Z))\) for every \(y\in C\), \(A(x,\cdot)\in {\mathcal L}(C, cl b (Z))\) for every \(x\in I\) and \[ F(x,y) = A(x,y) \overset {*} + B(x),\quad x\in I,\;y\in C. \] Moreover, the inequality \[ d(A(x, y_1) + A(\overline{x},y_2), A(\overline{x},y_1) + A({x},y_2)) \leq \gamma(\|y_1 - y_2\|) \beta(\|\overline{x} - x\|) \] holds for all \(x, \overline{x} \in I\) and \(y_1, y_2\in C\). (b) Assume that \(\gamma\) is increasing and the condition \(\frac{1}{\beta} \prec \gamma\left(\frac{1}{\alpha}\right)\) does not hold. Then the operator \(N\) maps \(H_{\alpha}(I, C)\) into \(H_{\beta}(I, cl b (Z))\) and satisfies inequality (1) if and only if the function \(F\) is of the form \[ F(x, y) = B(x),\quad x\in I,\;y\in C, \] where \(B\in H_{\beta}(I, cl b (Z))\). In this case, \(N\) is a constant operator.
