In this paper, we introduce generalized multivalued $F-$proximal contraction mappings within the partial metric spaces framework and establish best proximity point results for such mappings. The best proximity point theorem for multivalued $F-$proximal contraction mappings involving $\alpha-$admissibility is also obtained. Several related results in the literature are unified and generalized by our new best proximity point results. We also provide nontrivial examples to support our findings. Finally, we derive an existence of a solution to an integral equation that validates our finding.

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.

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.
