Logical Metatheorems for Accretive and (Generalized) Monotone Set-Valued Operators

Abstract

Accretive and monotone operator theory are central branches of nonlinear functional analysis and constitute the abstract study of set-valued mappings between function spaces. This paper deals with the computational properties of certain large classes of operators, namely accretive and (generalized) monotone set-valued ones. In particular, we develop (and extend) for this field the theoretical framework of proof mining, a program in mathematical logic that seeks to extract computational information from prima facie `non-computational' proofs from the mainstream literature. To this end, we establish logical metatheorems that guarantee and quantify the computational content of theorems pertaining to accretive and (generalized) monotone set-valued operators. On one hand, our results unify a number of recent case studies, while they also provide characterizations of central analytical notions in terms of proof theoretic ones on the other, which provides a crucial perspective on needed quantitative assumptions in future applications of proof mining to these branches.
