(1 5) (Ti + T2)(x) = Tx(x) + T2(x) = {*? +x% I xf e Tx(x), xt e T2(x)}. If Tx and F2 are maximal, it does not necessarily follow, however, that F», + T2 is maximal—some sort of condition is needed, since for example the graph of Tx + T2 can even be empty (as happens when D(Tx) n D(T2)= 0). The problem of determining conditions under which Tx + T2 is maximal turns out to be of fundamental importance in the theory of monotone operators. Results in this direction have been proved by Lescarret [9] and Browder [5], [6], [7]. The strongest result which is known at present is :
