Abstract

We study properties of ultramaximally monotone operators. We characterize the interior and the closure of the range of an ultramaximally monotone operator. We establish the Brezis-Haraux condition in the setting of a general Banach space. Moreover, we show that every ultramaximally monotone operator is of type (NA), which generalizes Bauschke and Simons' result.
