On Monotone linear relations and the sum problem in Banach spaces

We study monotone operators in general Banach spaces. Properties and characterizations of monotone linear relations are presented. We focus on the "sum problem" which is the most famous open problem in Monotone Operator Theory, and we provide a powerful sufficient condition for the sum...
