Abstract

Our basic concern in this paper is to investigate some geometric properties of the graph of a maximal monotone operator in the one dimensional case. Using a well-known theorem of Minty, we answer S. Simon's questions affirmatively in the one dimensional case. Further developments of these results are also treated. In addition, we provide a new proof of Rockafellar's characterization of maximal monotone operators on R: every maximal monotne operator from R to $2^R$ is the subdifferential of a proper convex lower semicontinuous function.
