Special Issue Information

One of the main fascinating objectives of nonlinear analysis is to study differential and integral equations for various nonlinear operators, and local approximation problems. Nonlinear analysis has wide and significant applications in many areas of mathematics including functional analysis, variational analysis, convex analysis, nonlinear ordinary and partial differential equations, control theory, dynamical system theory, game theory, economics, signal processing, data mining, and so forth. Over the last half century, optimization problems have been intensively investigated and various feasible methods in analyzing convergence of problem-solving algorithms have been created. The Special Issue will attempt to cover the whole field of symmetry and asymmetry in its widest sense, together with its applications in many facets of nonlinear analysis and optimization. 

We cordially and earnestly invite researchers to contribute their original and high quality research papers which will inspire advances in nonlinear analysis, optimization, and their applications. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Fixed point theory in symmetry and asymmetry
  • Coincidence point and best proximity point theory in symmetry and asymmetry
  • Set-valued analysis in symmetry and asymmetry
  • Optimization in symmetry and asymmetry
  • Nonsmooth analysis in symmetry and asymmetry
  • Dynamical systems in symmetry and asymmetry
  • Matrix theory in symmetry and asymmetry
  • Game theory in symmetry and asymmetry
  • Control theory in symmetry and asymmetry
  • Calculus of variations and PDEs in symmetry and asymmetry
  • Variational and topological methods for ODEs and PDEs
  • Convex analysis
  • Functional analysis
  • Image and signal processing
  • Data mining

Recently, owing to the trend of cross-disciplinary research in various fields, it is imperative to optimize the resource-allocation performance by analyzing allocation behavior and strategies from different perspectives as well as based on ideas from various fields. There are many decisive roles, such as changes in allocation behavior, related allocation methods, and the interaction and work effectiveness of strategies, to be implemented. By using game-theory analysis under resource-allocation procedures, in this article, we analyzed, constructed, simulated, and derived an efficient resource-allocation mechanism. Additionally, we generalized a power index by evaluating the operators and their activity levels. This article adopted the axioms of level completeness, criterion for weighted circumstances property, level synchronization, pure excess equal symmetry, and specific consonance to offer characterizations to assess the related rationality and accuracy of the proposed power index. Based on the above discussion, different from the rule of thumb, expert meeting, or other existing concepts, in this research game theory is used to provide an alternative guide for resource-allocation procedures by the optimal or equilibrium state established.

In many real-world situations, performers always adopt different energy levels (strategies) to participate. Different from pre-existing results, this paper is devoted to proposing several generalized power outputs of the marginal index, the Banzhaf–Coleman index, and the Banzhaf–Owen index, respectively, by assigning different energy levels to all performers. Since these extended power outputs may not be efficacious, we further define the efficacious extensions of these power outputs, respectively. For each of these efficacious power outputs, we demonstrate that there exists a corresponding reduced game and related consonance property that can be used to characterize it. By focusing on the properties of symmetry and accordance, several axiomatic results are also introduced. Full article
