Strong Convergence Theorem for Bregman Strongly Nonexpansive Mappings and Equilibrium Problems in Reflexive Banach Spaces

By using a new hybrid method, a strong convergence theorem for finding a common element of the set of solutions of an equilibrium problem and the set of fixed points of Bregman strongly nonexpansive mappings in a reflexive Banach space is proved

Strong Convergence Theorems for Quasi-Bregman Nonexpansive Mappings in Reflexive Banach Spaces

We study a strong convergence for a common fixed point of a finite family of quasi-Bregman nonexpansive mappings in the framework of real reflexive Banach spaces. As a consequence, convergence for a common fixed point of a finite family of Bergman relatively nonexpansive mappings is discussed. Furthermore, we apply our method to prove strong convergence theorems of iterative algorithms for finding a common solution of a finite family equilibrium problem and a common zero of a finite family of maximal monotone mappings. Our theorems improve and unify most of the results that have been proved for this important class of nonlinear mappings

Postquantum Br\`{e}gman relative entropies and nonlinear resource theories

We introduce the family of postquantum Br\`{e}gman relative entropies, based on nonlinear embeddings into reflexive Banach spaces (with examples given by reflexive noncommutative Orlicz spaces over semi-finite W*-algebras, nonassociative L$_p$ spaces over semi-finite JBW-algebras, and noncommutative L$_p$ spaces over arbitrary W*-algebras). This allows us to define a class of geometric categories for nonlinear postquantum inference theory (providing an extension of Chencov's approach to foundations of statistical inference), with constrained maximisations of Br\`{e}gman relative entropies as morphisms and nonlinear images of closed convex sets as objects. Further generalisation to a framework for nonlinear convex operational theories is developed using a larger class of morphisms, determined by Br\`{e}gman nonexpansive operations (which provide a well-behaved family of Mielnik's nonlinear transmitters). As an application, we derive a range of nonlinear postquantum resource theories determined in terms of this class of operations.Comment: v2: several corrections and improvements, including an extension to the postquantum (generally) and JBW-algebraic (specifically) cases, a section on nonlinear resource theories, and more informative paper's titl
