- Browder-Minty theorem
In
mathematics , the Browder-Minty theorem states that a bounded, continuous, coercive andmonotone function "T" from a real, reflexiveBanach space "X" into itscontinuous dual space "X"∗ is automaticallysurjective . That is, for eachcontinuous linear functional "g" ∈ "X"∗, there exists a solution "u" ∈ "X" of the equation "T"("u") = "g". (Note that "T" itself is not required to be alinear map .)ee also
