1 Introduction
1.1 Krasnosel’skii type results for self maps
Any study in operator equations with hybrid conditions must begin with Krasnosel’skii’s theorem for the sum of two operators.
Theorem 1.1 (Krasnosel’skii).
[12] Let be a closed bounded convex subset of a Banach space a contraction and a continuous mapping with relatively compact. If
(1) |
then the map has at least one fixed point.
The hybrid character of Krasnosel’skii’s theorem lies in the decomposition of the operator as a sum of two maps and with different properties. Condition (1) shows that is a self map of as in the fixed point theorems of Banach and Schauder which Krasnosel’skii’s theorem uses together in the proof.
An other possibility for a hybrid approach arises in case of systems, when the domain of splits as a Cartesian product, say and correspondingly the operator splits as a couple where take their values in and respectively. A typical result in this direction is the following vector version of Krasnosel’skii’s theorem, due to Avramescu [1], which we state here in a slightly modified form and whose proof is reproduced in [4].
Theorem 1.2 (Avramescu).
[1] Let be a complete metric space, a closed convex subset of a normed space and let be continuous mappings. Assume that the following conditions are satisfied:
- (a)
-
There is a constant such that
for all and
- (b)
-
is a relatively compact subset of
Then there exists with
In this regard, let us note the conclusion of the paper [17] according to which any theorem of continuous dependence of the fixed point on parameters can be associated with a fixed point existence result for operators of the form
In the paper [6] it went further and added even more heterogeneity by mixing together the metrical topology of a complete metric space with the norm-topology and weak topology of a Banach space. Thus, results were obtained that combine the Banach-Perov, Schauder and Arino–Gautier-Penot fixed point theorems and the Banach-Perov theorem with the strong and weak-topology versions of Mönch’s fixed point theorem. These results are dealing with operators of the form
on a Cartesian product space
where a number of spaces, are complete metric spaces endowed with the metrics a number are Banach spaces considered with their strong topologies, and the remaining ones are Banach spaces with their weak topologies. Let
and
be defined respectively if and We note that if then the set does not appear; analogously for the set when and for if
Denote by the vector-valued metric given by
where and use the notation
for and
Thus we have a first generalization of Avramescu’s theorem for self maps.
Theorem 1.3.
[6] Let be convex such that is compact for and weakly compact for Let and a map with
On the maps one assumes that
(i) for each point is sequentially continuous from to with respect to the strong topology on and weak topology on and there exists a square matrix of size having nonnegative entries and with the spectral radius such that
for all and
(ii) and are sequentially continuous from to and respectively, with respect to the strong topology on and weak topology on
Then there exists with
A second generalization of Avramescu’s theorem uses together the Banach-Perov fixed point theorem and the strong and weak versions of Mönch’s fixed point theorem for self maps.
Theorem 1.4.
[6] Let be a closed convex set for and let be a map with
Assume that the maps satisfy the following conditions:
(i) for each point is sequentially continuous from to with respect the strong topology on and the weak topology on and there exists a square matrix of size having nonnegative entries and spectral radius less than such that
for all , , and
(ii) and are sequentially continuous from to and respectively, with respect the strong topology on and the weak topology on
(iii) for some points and one has
Then there exists with
1.2 Krasnosel’skii type results for nonself maps
Several extensions of Krasnosel’skii’s theorem to nonself maps have been given. One is due to O’Regan and is based on the fact that the map in Krasnosel’skii’s theorem is condensing and thus the Leray-Schauder continuation principle for condensing maps can be used. Stated as a continuation theorem, O’Regan’s result reads as follows.
Theorem 1.5 (O’Regan).
[13] Let be an open set in a closed, convex set of a Banach space . Assume and is given by where is a -contraction, i.e., there exists a continuous nondecreasing function satisfying for , such that for all and is completely continuous. Then either,
(i) has a fixed point in or
(ii) there is a point and with
Using the original idea of the proof of Krasnosel’skii’s theorem and Schaefer’s fixed point theorem instead of Schauder’s one, we have the following result due to Burton and Kirk, also presented as a continuation theorem.
Theorem 1.6 (Burton-Kirk).
[5] Let be a Banach space, a contraction and completely continuous. Then either
(i) has a solution in for or
(ii) the set of all such solutions, is unbounded.
A similar result is given in [9] by replacing the equation with
Theorem 1.7 (Gao-Li-Zhang).
[9] Let be a Banach space, a contraction and completely continuous. Then either
(i) has a solution in for or
(ii) the set of all such solutions, is unbounded.
In the proofs, one uses the homotopy in case of Theorem 1.6, in contrast to Theorem 1.7 where the homotopy is used.
For other extensions of Krasnosel’skii’s fixed point theorem we refer to [2], [3], [8], [10], [11], [14], [15], [18] and [19]. A variational version of Avramescu’s theorem is given in [4].
The aim of this paper is to obtain nonlinear alternatives of Leray-Schauder and Mönch type for nonself vector-valued operators, under hybrid conditions of Perov contraction and compactness. Thus we shall extend the theorems of Krasnosel’skii, Avramescu, Burton-Kirk and Gao-Li-Zhang. An application is given to a boundary value problem for a system of second order differential equations in which some of the equations are implicit.
2 Nonlinear alternatives
2.1 Avramescu type principle for nonself maps
Consider a system of two operator equations
(2) |
We have the following general topological principle in terms of fixed point index (see [7, Section 2.1]).
Theorem 2.1.
Let be a Banach space, a retract of and open in Let be a topological space and
be two mappings such that the following conditions are satisfied:
(a) For each there is a unique with
(b) There is a compact map with
Then either
(i) the system (2) has a solution , or
(ii) there is a point and with
Proof.
In virtute of (a), is a solution of (2) if and only if and is a fixed point of Assume that (ii) does not hold. Hence is fixed point free on for Obviously, condition makes necessary that is fixed point free on too. If has a fixed point in then (i) holds and we are finished. Otherwise, is an admissible homotopy joining with and from the homotopy invariance of the fixed point index we should have which guarantees that has a fixed point in thus again condition (i) is satisfied. ∎
Theorem 2.1 gives in particular hybrid results for nonself maps of Krasnosel’kii, Burton-Kirk and Gao-Li-Zhang types. Instead the common contraction property, we consider its vector analogue, the Perov contraction (for this notion and related topics of vector analysis, we refer the reader to [16, Chapter 10]). To this aim, consider Banach spaces and the product space endowed with the norm
All topological notions such as continuity, compactness, boundary of a set, related to the product space will be considered with respect to the norm Also, on we consider the vector-valued norm
With respect to the vector-valued metric the space is a complete generalized metric space.
In such a product space we have:
Corollary 2.2.
Let be open with , a Perov contraction and compact. Then either
(i) the map has a fixed point in or
(ii) there is a point and with
Proof.
Apply Theorem 2.1. Here and ∎
A similar result is the vector version of Burton-Kirk theorem:
Corollary 2.3.
Let be open with , a Perov contraction and compact. Then either
(i) the map has a fixed point in or
(ii) there is a point and with
Proof.
Apply Theorem 2.1. Here and ∎
Theorem 2.1 also yields the vector version of Gao-Li-Zhang:
Corollary 2.4.
Let be open with , a Perov contraction and compact. Then either
(i) the map has a fixed point in or
(ii) there is a point and with
Proof.
Apply Theorem 2.1. Here and ∎
2.2 Avramescu-Mönch theorem for nonself maps
We finish this section by an Avramescu-Mönch type result for nonself maps. It involves a compactness condition which does not make possible the use of the fixed point index.
Theorem 2.5.
Let be a complete generalized metric space endowed with the vector-valued metric a Banach space, open with and two maps such that
(a) is a Perov contraction with the same Lipschitz matrix for
(b) is continuous and a Mönch map, i.e., if is countable and then is compact.
Then either
(i) the system (2) has a solution , or
(ii) there is a point and with
(3) |
Proof.
Solving (2) reduces to the fixed point equation in where is defined by and whose well-definition and continuity are guarantees by (a). Next we use Mönch’s fixed point theorem for nonself maps ([7, Theorem 18.1]). To this end we first need to check Mönch’s compactness condition for the operator If is countable and then whence in view of (b) implies that is compact. Next observe that if a point and satisfy (3) then and that is which means that the Leray-Schauder boundary condition does not hold. Thus Mönch’s fixed point theorem applies and gives the result. ∎
3 Application
We present an application of the vector version of Burton-Kirk theorem, Corollary 2.3, to the following boundary value problem for a system of equations
(4) | |||||
where and denote the vectors
Also the mappings and are assumed to satisfy the Carathéodory conditions and some additional conditions given below.
Note that the equations are implicit due to the dependence on of the terms .
Denoting and letting the system is equivalent to
Let
Thus our problem appears as a fixed point equation
We shall apply the vector version of Burton-Kirk theorem in the space Before checking the conditions of this theorem, let us recall:
0) Some basic results on Sobolev spaces in one dimension.
One denotes by the space of all absolutely continuous functions on vanishing at and and whose derivative belongs to This is a Hilbert space under the scalar product and norm
By one denotes the dual of and the following embeddings hold: According to Poincaré’s inequality one has
The operator is an isometry between and so
Also note that the number is the first eigenvalue of the operator under the Dirichlet boundary condition
1) We now guarantee that is a Perov contraction on To this aim assume that are Lipschitz continuous, more exactly
(5) |
for all and a.e.
Then for any one has
where we used
Therefore is a Perov contraction if

where is the spectral radius of the matrix whose entries are
2) A priori bounds for the solutions of the equations

Step 1: Bounds for
We have
(9) |
Now we introduce a sign condition on namely
(10) |
Now we multiply by in (9) and integrate over and we observe that we obtain
where We have
Also
where gives the sign of the function Furthermore
Then
whence
These can be put under the matrix form
with columns and Since the spectral radius of is less than one, we may multiply by and obtain
which proves that are bounded.
Step 2: To this aim we impose a second condition to namely the growth condition
(11) |
where are nonnegative, and Notice the large generality of this growth condition with respect to since no restriction on the exponent is required.
Then we have
Furthermore, since continuously, there is a constant such that
Hence
which in view of the result from Step 1 is bounded.
Step 3: Indeed, using (3) we have
or, under the matrix form
where are the column vectors and Then
which proves our claim.
3) Complete continuity of The linear operator is compact from to while due to the growth property (11), the Nemytskii’s operator associated to is continuous and bounded (maps bounded sets into bounded sets) from to Consequently, as the composition of the previous two operators, is completely continuous from to
4) Application of Corollary 2.3. The set of all solutions of the equations (8) being bounded it can be included in an open ball of centered at the origin and of a sufficiently large radius. Then all the assumptions of Corollary 2.3 are fulfilled.
Thus we can state following conclusion result.
