In this paper, we study uniform ergodicity for $C_0$-semigroups of universally bounded operators acting on locally convex spaces. Characterizations of uniform ergodic $C_0$-semigroups are given. Importantly, we give a $C_0$-semigroups version of F. Pater, T. Binzar [14] theorem.

We show the existence of solutions satisfying Cauchy or terminal boundary conditions for first order differential inclusion $(\phi(x(t)))'\in F(t,x(t))$. We consider the second order problem $(\phi(x'(t)))'\in F(t,x(t))$ with many boundary conditions. The set-valued map $F$ has non-convex values and the function $\phi$ satisfies a weak condition. The resolution method use the topological degree without the method of upper and lower solutions.

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).

Let \( \mathcal{H} \) be a complex Hilbert space of dimension at least 3, and let \( \mathcal{B}(\mathcal{H}) \) denote the algebra of all bounded linear operators on \( \mathcal{H} \). Based on results by Molnar, this paper revisits the problem addressed in [18], which characterizes surjective maps \( \phi: \mathcal{B}(\mathcal{H}) \to \mathcal{B}(\mathcal{H}) \) that preserve the set of partial isometric operators in both directions. We focus exclusively on the linear case, rather than the more general additive case. Furthermore, we provide an alternative proof of the main result in [9] from a different point of view. Finally, we propose new directions for exploring maps that preserve higher-order partial isometric operators in both directions.
