A Generalized Nonlinear Random Equations with Random Fuzzy Mappings in Uniformly Smooth Banach Spaces

Abstract

We introduce and study the general nonlinear random -accretive equations with random fuzzy mappings. By using the resolvent technique for the -accretive operators, we prove the existence theorems and convergence theorems of the generalized random iterative algorithm for this nonlinear random equations with random fuzzy mappings in -uniformly smooth Banach spaces. Our result in this paper improves and generalizes some known corresponding results in the literature.

1. Introduction

Fuzzy Set Theory was formalised by Professor Lofti Zadeh at the University of California in 1965 with a view to reconcile mathematical modeling and human knowledge in the engineering sciences. The concept of fuzzy sets is incredible wide range of areas, from mathematics and logics to traditional and advanced engineering methodologies. Applications are found in many contexts, from medicine to finance, from human factors to consumer products, and from vehicle control to computational linguistics.

Random variational inequality theories is an important part of random function analysis. These topics have attracted many scholars and exports due to the extensive applications of the random problems (see, e.g., [1–17]). In 1997, Huang [3] first introduced the concept of random fuzzy mapping and studied the random nonlinear quasicomplementarity problem for random fuzzy mappings. Further, Huang studied the random generalized nonlinear variational inclusions for random fuzzy mappings in Hilbert spaces. Ahmad and Bazán [18] studied a class of random generalized nonlinear mixed variational inclusions for random fuzzy mappings and constructed an iterative algorithm for solving such random problems.

Very recently, Lan et al. [11], introduced and studied a class of general nonlinear random multivalued operator equations involving generalized -accretive mappings in Banach spaces and an iterative algorithm with errors for this nonlinear random multivalued operator equations.

Inspired and motivated by recent works in these fields (see [2, 13, 14, 18–29]), in this paper, we introduce and study a class of general nonlinear random equations with random fuzzy mappings in Banach spaces. By using Chang's lemma and the resolvent operator technique for -accretive mapping. We prove the existence and convergence theorems of the generalized random iterative algorithm for this nonlinear random equations with random fuzzy mappings in -uniformly smooth Banach spaces. Our results improve and extend the corresponding results of recent works.

2. Preliminaries

We denote by , and the class of Borel -fields in , the inner product and the norm on , respectively. In the sequel, we denote , and by , is nonempty, bounded and closed} and the Hausdorff metric on , respectively.

Next, we will use the following definitions and lemmas.

Definition 2.2.

A operator is called a random operator if for any , is measurable. A random operator is said to be continuous (resp. linear, bounded) if for any , the operator is continuous (resp. linear, bounded).

Similarly, we can define a random operator . We will write and for all and .

It is well known that a measurable operator is necessarily a random operator.

(2.1)

Definition 2.7.

A multivalued operator is called a random multivalued operator if, for any , is measurable. A random multivalued operator is said to be -continuous if, for any , is continuous in , where is the Hausdorff metric on defined as follows: for any given ,

(2.2)

Let be the family of all fuzzy sets over . A mapping is called a fuzzy mapping over .

If is a fuzzy mapping over , then (denoted by ) is fuzzy set on , and is the membership degree of the point in . Let , . Then the set

(2.3)

is called a -cut set of fuzzy set .

(i)A fuzzy mapping is called measurable if, for any given , is a measurable multivalued mapping.

(ii)A fuzzy mapping is called a random fuzzy mapping if, for any , is a measurable fuzzy mapping.

Let be three random fuzzy mappings satisfying the following condition (C): there exists three mappings , such that

(2.7)

The problem (2.7) is called random variational inclusion problem for random fuzzy mappings in Banach spaces. The set of measurable mappings is called a random solution of (2.7).

Some special cases of (2.7):

  1. (1)

    If is a single-valued operator, , where is the identity mapping and for all and , then (2.7) is equivalent to finding such that and

    (2.8)

A Banach space is called uniformly smooth if and is called -uniformly smooth if there exists a constant such that , where is a real number.

It is well known that Hilbert spaces, (or ) spaces, and the Sobolev spaces , , are all -uniformly smooth.

In the study of characteristic inequalities in a -uniformly smooth Banach space, Xu [30] proved the following result.

4. Existence and Convergence Theorems

In this section, we prove the existence and convergence theorems of the generalized random iterative algorithm for this nonlinear random equations with random fuzzy mappings in -uniformly smooth Banach spaces.

Theorem 4.1.

Let be a -Lipschitz continuous random operator and be -Lipschitz continuous in the first argument, -Lipschitz continuous in the second argument and -Lipschitz continuous in the third argument, respectively. Let be three random fuzzy mappings satisfying the condition (C), be three random multivalued mappings induced by the mappings , respectively, and are -Lipschitz continuous with constants , and , respectively. If for each real-valued random variables and such that, for any , ,

(4.1)

and the following conditions hold:

(4.2)

By Lipschitz continuity of in the first, second and third argument, , , is -Lipschitz continuous, -Lipschitz continuous, -Lipschitz continuous, respectively, and , , and are -Lipschitz continuous, we have

(4.7)

Using (4.6)–(4.7) in (4.4), we obtain for all ,

(4.8)

(4.9)

Letting

(4.10)

Thus , as . From (4.2), we know that , for all . Using the same arguments as those used in the proof of (Lan et al. [11, Theorem 3.1, page 14]) it follows that and are Cauchy sequences. Thus by the completeness of , there exist such that as .

Next, we show that , we have

(4.11)

This implies that . Similarly, we can get and for all . Therefore, from Algorithm 3.2 and the continuity of , and , we obtain

(4.12)

By Lemma 3.1, we know that is a solution of (2.7). This completes the proof.

Remark 4.2.

If the fuzzy mapping , and are multivalued operators, , and multivalued is generalized -accretive mapping, is -strongly monotone, is -strongly accretive with respect to , then the result is Theorem 3.1 of Lan et al. [11].

From Theorem 4.1, we can get the following theorems.

Let be -Lipschitz continuous, be a -Lipschitz continuous random operator, be -Lipschitz continuous and be -Lipschitz continuous in the first argument and -Lipschitz continuous in the second argument, respectively. If there exist real-valued random variables and such that (4.13) holds:

(4.13)

for all , where is the same as in Lemma 2.8, for any , the iterative sequences , and defined by Algorithm 3.3 converge strongly to the solution of (2.8).

Theorem 4.4.

Suppose that , , , , , and are the same as in Algorithm 3.2 Let be a random multivalued operator such that, for each fixed , is a -accretive mapping and . If there exists a real-valued random variable such that, for any , and the following conditions hold:

(4.14)

where is the same as in Lemma 2.8, for any , the iterative sequences , and defined by Algorithm 3.4 converge strongly to the solution of (2.9).

Remark 4.5.

We note that for suitable choices of the mappings and space . Theorems 4.1–4.4 reduces to many known results of generalized variational inclusions as special cases (see [1, 3, 4, 20–25, 32] and the references therein).
