Some criteria for maximal abstract monotonicity

In this paper, we develop a theory of monotone operators in the framework of abstract convexity. First, we provide a surjectivity result for a broad class of abstract monotone operators. Then, by using an additivity constraint qualification, we prove a generalization of Fenchel's duality theorem in the framework of abstract convexity and give some criteria for maximal abstract monotonicity. Finally, we present necessary and sufficient conditions for maximality of abstract monotone operators

Monotone Linear Relations: Maximality and Fitzpatrick Functions

We analyze and characterize maximal monotonicity of linear relations (set-valued operators with linear graphs). An important tool in our study are Fitzpatrick functions. The results obtained partially extend work on linear and at most single-valued operators by Phelps and Simons and by Bauschke, Borwein and Wang. Furthermore, a description of skew linear relations in terms of the Fitzpatrick family is obtained. We also answer one of Simons problems by showing that if a maximal monotone operator has a convex graph, then this graph must actually be affine

Well-posedness via Monotonicity. An Overview

The idea of monotonicity (or positive-definiteness in the linear case) is shown to be the central theme of the solution theories associated with problems of mathematical physics. A "grand unified" setting is surveyed covering a comprehensive class of such problems. We elaborate the applicability of our scheme with a number examples. A brief discussion of stability and homogenization issues is also provided.Comment: Thoroughly revised version. Examples correcte

Quantifying quantum coherence and non-classical correlation based on Hellinger distance

Quantum coherence and non-classical correlation are key features of quantum world. Quantifying coherence and non-classical correlation are two key tasks in quantum information theory. First, we present a bona fide measure of quantum coherence by utilizing the Hellinger distance. This coherence measure is proven to fulfill all the criteria of a well defined coherence measure, including the strong monotonicity in the resource theories of quantum coherence. In terms of this coherence measure, the distribution of quantum coherence in multipartite systems is studied and a corresponding polygamy relation is proposed. Its operational meanings and the relations between the generation of quantum correlations and the coherence are also investigated. Moreover, we present Hellinger distance-based measure of non-classical correlation, which not only inherits the nice properties of the Hellinger distance including contractivity, and but also shows a powerful analytic computability for a large class of quantum states. We show that there is an explicit trade-off relation satisfied by the quantum coherence and this non-classical correlation
