We provide an approach to maximal monotone bifunctions based on the theory of representative functions. Thus we extend to nonreflexive Banach spaces recent results due to A.N. Iusem and, respectively, N. Hadjisavvas and H. Khatibzadeh, where sufficient conditions guaranteeing the maximal monotonicity of bifunctions were introduced. New results involving the sum of two monotone bifunctions are also presented.

Problems in econometrics, insurance, reliability engineering, and statistics quite often rely on the assumption that certain functions are non-decreasing. To satisfy this requirement, researchers frequently model the underlying phenomena using parame tric and semi-parametric families of functions, thus effectively specifying the required shapes of the functions. To tackle these problems in a non-parametric way, in this paper we suggest indices for measuring the lack of monotonicity in functions. We investigate properties of the indices and also offer a convenient computational technique for practical use.
In this note we provide regularity conditions of closedness type which guarantee some surjectivity results concerning the sum of two maximal monotone operators by using representative functions. The first regularity condition we give guarantees the s urjectivity of the monotone operator $S(cdot + p)+T(cdot)$, where $pin X$ and $S$ and $T$ are maximal monotone operators on the reflexive Banach space $X$. Then, this is used to obtain sufficient conditions for the surjectivity of $S+T$ and for the situation when $0$ belongs to the range of $S+T$. Several special cases are discussed, some of them delivering interesting byproducts.
Recently, the authors studied the connection between each maximal monotone operator T and a family H(T) of convex functions. Each member of this family characterizes the operator and satisfies two particular inequalities. The aim of this paper is t o establish the converse of the latter fact. Namely, that every convex function satisfying those two particular inequalities is associated to a unique maximal monotone operator.
With the advent of prosumers, the traditional centralized operation may become impracticable due to computational burden, privacy concerns, and conflicting interests. In this paper, an energy sharing mechanism is proposed to accommodate prosumers str ategic decision-making on their self-production and demand in the presence of capacity constraints. Under this setting, prosumers play a generalized Nash game. We prove main properties of the game: an equilibrium exists and is partially unique; no prosumer is worse off by energy sharing and the price-of-anarchy is 1-O(1/I) where I is the number of prosumers. In particular, the PoA tends to 1 with a growing number of prosumers, meaning that the resulting total cost under the proposed energy sharing approaches social optimum. We prove that the corresponding prosumers strategies converge to the social optimal solution as well. Finally we propose a bidding process and prove that it converges to the energy sharing equilibrium under mild conditions. Illustrative examples are provided to validate the results.
In this paper we propose a new methodology to represent the results of the robust ordinal regression approach by means of a family of representative value functions for which, taken two alternatives $a$ and $b$, the following two conditions are satis fied: 1) if for all compatible value functions $a$ is evaluated not worse than $b$ and for at least one value function $a$ has a better evaluation, then the evaluation of $a$ is greater than the evaluation of $b$ for all representative value functions; 2) if there exists one compatible value function giving $a$ an evaluation greater than $b$ and another compatible value function giving $a$ an evaluation smaller than $b$, then there are also at least one representative function giving a better evaluation to $a$ and another representative value function giving $a$ an evaluation smaller than $b$. This family of representative value functions intends to provide the Decision Maker (DM) a more clear idea of the preferences obtained by the compatible value functions, with the aim to support the discussion in constructive approach of Multiple Criteria Decision Aiding.
