We introduce \"L-positive\" sets, which generalize monotone multifunctions from a Banach space into its dual. We introduce the concept of $r_L$-density: the closed $r_L$-dense monotone multifunctions from a Banach space into its dual form a strict subset of the maximally monotone ones. We give two short proofs that the subdifferential of a proper convex lower semicontinuous function on a Banach space is $r_L$-dense. We give sum theorems for closed monotone $r_L$-dense multifunctions under very general constraint conditions, and we prove that any closed monotone $r_L$-dense multifunction is of type (ANA), strongly maximally monotone, of type (FPV), of type (FP), of type (NI), and has a number of other very desirable properties. In the (FP) and (NI) case the converse results are true.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-07-04T00:48:45.000Z", "title": "A \"density\" and maximal monotonicity", "abstract": "We discuss \"Banach SN spaces\", which include Hilbert spaces, negative Hilbert spaces, and the product of any real Banach space with its dual.
