Solvability of a Cayley Inclusion Involving $H$-Monotone in Banach Spaces
Khalid Fayaz, Mohd Iqbal Bhat, Hilal Ahmad Khanday, Mudasir A. Malik

In this paper, a new class of $H$-monotone in Banach spaces is considered and studied. The resolvent operator and Cayley approximation operator associated with the $H$-monotone are defined, and the Lipschitz continuity of Cayley approximation operator is also established. An application involves the solvability of a class of generalized Cayley inclusions with $H$-monotone in Banach spaces. By utilizing the technique of resolvent, an iterative algorithm is developed for solving such a class of generalized Cayley inclusions in Banach spaces. The convergence of the iterative sequence generated by the algorithm is proven under certain suitable conditions. The results are justified by means of a numerical example analytically and graphically using Python(matplotlib).
DCCC and Meta-Lindelöf like Characterization of Star-Lindelöf Bitopological Spaces
MFAT 32 (2026), no. 1, 53-57

$(\tau_1,\tau_2)$-star-Lindelöfness ensures that for every pair $(\mathcal U_1 \subseteq \tau_1,\mathcal U_2 \subseteq \tau_2)$ of open covers, a countable subcover of $\mathcal U_1$, can spread through $\mathcal U_2 $ via the star operation to cover the entire bitopological space $(X,\tau_1,\tau_2)$. Giving a positive answers to the questions of Choudhury et. al. [12], DCCC and meta-Lindelöf like characterization of star-Lindelöf bitopological spaces are presented in this paper. It has been established that a JDCCC bitopological space is both $(\tau_1,\tau_2)$-2-star-Lindelöf and $(\tau_2,\tau_1)$-2-star-Lindelöf. And if a bitopological space which is both $(\tau_1,\tau_2)$-$n$-star-Lindelöf ($n \in \mathbb N$) and $(\tau_1,\tau_2)$-meta-Lindelöf, then $(X, \tau_2)$ is $(n-1)$-star Lindelöf ($0$-star-Lindelöfness represents Lindelöfness).
Some spectral results for certain positive operators in Hilbert spaces
MFAT 32 (2026), no. 1, 84-96
84-96
This paper examines the spectral properties of specific classes of positive operators arising from matrices associated with the linear complementarity problem. Such operators occupy a central position in diverse domains of mathematics and physics, including operator theory, functional analysis, and quantum mechanics. A thorough understanding of their spectral behavior is fundamental for exploring the dynamics and stability of systems governed by these operators. P-matrix is one of the important types of matrices appearing in linear complementarity problems. In this paper, with the help of spectral results we have given a factorization for P-matrices, as the product of two non-trivial P-matrices. We also focus on elucidating spectral properties such as eigenvalues, approximate eigenvalues and spectral values associated with certain positive operators.
A class of variational inequality in hyperbolic framework
MFAT 32 (2026), no. 1, 9-17
9-17
In this paper, we extends the classical theory of variational inequalities to the hyperbolic scalar setting using the structure of $\mathbb{D}$-Hilbert spaces. We introduce and analyze a new class of variational inequalities, termed general mildly $\mathbb{D}$-nonlinear variational inequalities, which generalize classical formulations by incorporating $\mathbb{D}$-nonlinear and product-type mappings. We characterize these problems in terms of their idempotent components and demonstrate that several known variational inequality problems, including Stampacchia-type and complementarity problems, emerge as special cases.
