On the local boundedness of maximal H--monotone operators

Abstract

In this paper we prove that maximal H-monotone operators $T:H^n\rightrightarrows V_1$ whose domain is all the Heisenberg group $H^n$ are locally bounded. This implies that they are upper semicontinuous. As a consequence, maximal H-monotonicity of an operator on $H^n$ can be characterized by a suitable version of Minty's type theorem.
