We consider a quasilinear model arising from dynamical magnetization. This model is described by a magneto-quasistatic (MQS) approximation of Maxwell's equations. Assuming that the medium consists of a conducting and a non-conducting part, the derivative with respect to time is not fully entering, whence the system can be described by an abstract differential-algebraic equation. Furthermore, via magnetic induction, the system is coupled with an equation which contains the induced electrical currents along the associated voltages, which form the input of the system. The aim of this paper is to study well-posedness of the coupled MQS system and regularity of its solutions. Thereby, we rely on the classical theory of gradient systems on Hilbert spaces combined with the concept of E-subgradients using in particular the magnetic energy. The coupled MQS system precisely fits into this general framework.

In this paper, we study several classes of set-valued maps, which can be used in set-valued optimization and its applications, and their respective maximum and minimum value functions. The definitions of these maps are based on scalar-valued, vector-valued, and cone-valued maps. Moreover, we consider those extremal value functions which are obtained when optimizing linear functionals over the image sets of the set-valued maps. Such extremal value functions play an important role for instance for derivative concepts for set-valued maps or for algorithmic approaches in set-valued optimization. We formulate conditions under which the set-valued maps and their extremal value functions inherit properties like (Lipschitz-)continuity and convexity.

We improve known perturbation results for self-adjoint operators in Hilbert spaces and prove spectral enclosures for diagonally dominant J-self-adjoint operator matrices. These are used in the proof of the central result, a perturbation theorem for J-non-negative operators. The results are applied to singular indefinite Sturm-Liouville operators with Lp-potentials. Known bounds on the non-real eigenvalues of such operators are improved.

We consider Gabor frames generated by a general lattice and a window function that belongs to one of the following spaces: the Sobolev space $$V_1 = H^1(\mathbb {R}^d)$$, the weighted $$L^2$$-space $$V_2 = L_{1 + |x|}^2(\mathbb {R}^d)$$, and the space $$V_3 = \mathbb {H}^1(\mathbb {R}^d) = V_1 \cap V_2$$consisting of all functions with finite uncertainty product; all these spaces can be described as modulation spaces with respect to suitable weighted $$L^2$$spaces. In all cases, we prove that the space of Bessel vectors in $$V_j$$is mapped bijectively onto itself by the Gabor frame operator. As a consequence, if the window function belongs to one of the three spaces, then the canonical dual window also belongs to the same space. In fact, the result not only applies to frames, but also to frame sequences.
