TL;DR: In this paper, the authors obtained sufficient conditions for an autonomous functional differential equation to generate a strongly monotone semi-low on a suitable state space, and established a very striking relationship between such functional differential equations and corresponding ordinary differential equations.

TL;DR: It is shown that every graph on n nodes can be partitioned by a number of complete bipartite graphs with O(n2/log n) nodes with no edge belonging to two of them, and an upper bound for the monotone formula size of quadratic functions is obtained.
Abstract: We show that every graph on n nodes can be partitioned by a number of complete bipartite graphs with O(n 2/log n) nodes with no edge belonging to two of them Since each partition corresponds directly to a monotone formula for the associated quadratic function we obtain an upper bound for the monotone formula size of quadratic functions Our method extends to uniform hypergraphs with fixed range and thus to homogeneous functions with fixed length of prime implicants Finally we give an example of a quadratic function where each monotone formula built from arbitrary partitions of the graph (double edges allowed) is not optimal That means we disprove the single-level-conjecture for formulae

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the choice of initial functions cannot be arbitrary for the extremal solution to hold, and they then develop a monotone technique to obtain extremal solutions.
Abstract: In proving existence of extremal solutions for delay differential equations, one usually assumes nondecreasing property on the function involved without which the proof breaks down. Our main purpose, in this paper, is to remove the monotone assumption by proving a new comparison result which is required in the analysis and which avoids the standard line of argument. Furthermore, our comparison theorem shows that the choice of initial functions cannot be arbitrary for the results to hold. Using this result we then develop monotone technique to obtain extremal solutions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors untersuchen den 1-monotonen Operator TK B x E*, fE TK X [I,!] E K(x, x), der uber das Subdifferential einer konkav-konvexen Sattelfunktion K definiert ist.
Abstract: \\Vir untersuchen den 1monotonen Operator TK B x E*, fE TK X [—I,!] E K(x, x), der uber das Subdifferential einer konkav-konvexen Sattelfunktion K definiert ist. Unsere Uber. legungen werdon durch die Tatsache motiviert, daB jeder maximal monotone Operator A in der Form A = TK darstellbar ist. Wir zeigen, daB TK genau dunn maximal iionoton ist, wenu K in einer abgeschwächten Form schiefsynsmetrisch 1st. Dies erlaubt eine Verillgemmicilerung früher erzielter Ergebnisse.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the clone of all nonsurjective functions on R8 is finitely generated, i.e., it is possible to construct a monotone function on the 8-element bounded tower.
Abstract: Let R8 denote the 8-element bounded tower. G. Tardos has shown that C(R8), the clone of all monotone functions on R8, is not finitely generated. In this paper we show that the clone of all nonsurjective functions is finitely generated.

TL;DR: In this paper, for the θ-method, θ = 1/2(2+ζτV), 0 0, it was shown that τ → 0, where τ is the maximal timestep for an arbitrary choice of the sequence of timesteps and with no further condition on F, and an estimate O(τ2) under some additional conditions.
Abstract: For evolution equation with a monotone operator we derive unconditional stability and error estimates valid for all times. θ-method, For the θ=1/2(2+ζτV), 0 0), we prove an error estimate O(τ4/3), τ → 0, if V=1/3, where τ is the maximal timestep for an arbitrary choice of the sequence of timesteps and with no further condition on F, and an estimate O(τ2) under some additional conditions. The first result is an improvement over the implicit midpoint method (θ=½), for which an order reduction to O(τ) may occur.

TL;DR: In this article, a slightly modified method was developed to solve a generalized complementarity problem with a Lipschitz continuous, pseudomonotone, and integrable function.
Abstract: In an earlier paper, the author proposed an iterative method for generalized complementarity problems with Lipschitz continuous and strongly monotone functions. Here we show that a slightly modified method can be developed to solve a generalized complementarity problem with a Lipschitz continuous, pseudomonotone, and integrable function.
