Fixed point theorems in fuzzy metric spaces

In this paper, we state and prove some common fixed point theorems in fuzzy metric spaces. These theorems generalize and improve known results (see [1]).     

On completion of fuzzy metric spaces

Completions of fuzzy metric spaces (in the sense of George and Veeramani) are discussed. A complete fuzzy metric space Y is said to be a˜fuzzy metric completion of a˜given fuzzy metric space X if X is isometric to a˜dense subspace of Y. We present an example of a˜fuzzy metric space that does not admit any fuzzy metric completion. However, we prove that every standard fuzzy metric space has an (up to isometry) unique fuzzy metric completion. We also show that for each fuzzy metric space there is an (up to uniform isomorphism) unique complete fuzzy metric space that contains a˜dense subspace uniformly isomorphic to it.     

On the metrizability of cone metric spaces

We have shown in this paper that a (complete) cone metric space (X,E,P,d) is indeed (completely) metrizable for a suitable metric D. Moreover, given any finite number of contractions f₁,…,fn on the cone metric space (X,E,P,d), D can be defined in such a way that these functions become also contractions on (X,D).     

Some periodic point results in generalized metric spaces

We prove some fixed point and periodic point theorems for a map in generalized metric spaces. An example is provided to support our result. The results presented in this paper generalize several well known comparable results in the literature.     

Generalized contractions on partial metric spaces

In the present paper, we give some fixed point theorems for generalized contractive type mappings on partial metric space. Also, a homotopy result is given.     

Common fixed point theorems for hybrid pairs of maps in fuzzy metric spaces

The purpose of this paper is to introduce the notion of common limit range property (CLR property) for two hybrid pairs of mappings in fuzzy metric spaces, and we prove common fixed point theorems using (CLR) property for these mappings with implicit relation. Our results extend some known results to multi-valued arena. Also, we prove common fixed point theorem in fuzzy metric spaces satisfying an integral type.     

Some fixed point theorems on ordered cone metric spaces

In the present work, two fixed point theorems for self maps on ordered cone metric spaces are proved motivated by [7, L. G. Huang and X. Zhang, Cone metric spaces and fixed point theorems of contractive mappings, J. Math. Anal. Appl., 332 (2007) 1468–1476] and [15, A. C. M. Ran and M. C. B. Reuring, A fixed point theorem in partially ordered sets and some application to matrix equations, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc., 132, (2004), 1435–1443]      

On some results of analysis for fuzzy metric spaces

A necessary and sufficient condition for a fuzzy metric space to be complete is given. We prove that a subspace of a separable fuzzy metric space is separable and every separable fuzzy metric space is second countable. Uniform limit theorem is generalized to fuzzy metric spaces.     

Fixed point theory for generalized contractions in cone metric spaces

In this paper, we prove some fixed point theorems for generalized contractions in cone metric spaces. Our theorems extend some results of Suzuki (2008) [T. Suzuki, A generalized Banach contraction principle that characterizes metric completeness, Proc Amer Math Soc 136(5) (2008), 1861-1869] and Kikkawa and Suzuki (2008) [M. Kikkawa and T. Suzuki, Three fixed point theorems for generalized contractions with constants in complete metric spaces, Nonlinear Anal 69(9) (2008), 2942-2949].     

Conditions of regularity in cone metric spaces

In this paper we prove some fixed points results on cone metric spaces for maps satisfying general contractive type conditions. Among other things, we extend some results of Nguyen [11] from metric spaces to cone metric spaces. The example is included.

Cone metric spaces and fixed point theorems of contractive mappings

In this paper we introduce cone metric spaces, prove some fixed point theorems of contractive mappings on cone metric spaces.     

Controlled fuzzy metric spaces and some related fixed point results

In this paper, we introduce a new extension in the subject of fuzzy metric, called controlled fuzzy metric space. This notion is a generalization of fuzzy b‐metric space. Also, we prove a Banach‐type fixed point theorem and a new fixed point theorem for some self‐mappings satisfying fuzzy ψ ‐contraction condition that is more general than existing theorems. Furthermore, we establish some examples about our main results.     

Fixed point theorems for multi-valued contractions in complete metric spaces

In this paper the concept of a contraction for multi-valued mappings in a metric space is introduced and the existence theorems for fixed points of such contractions in a complete metric space are proved. Presented results generalize and improve the recent results of Y. Feng, S. Liu [Y. Feng, S. Liu, Fixed point theorems for multi-valued contractive mappings and multi-valued Caristi type mappings, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 317 (2006) 103-112], D. Klim, D. Wardowski [D. Klim, D. Wardowski, Fixed point theorems for set-valued contractions in complete metric spaces, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 334 (2007) 132-139] and several others. The method used in the proofs of our results is new and is simpler than methods used in the corresponding papers. Two examples are given to show that our results are genuine generalization of the results of Feng and Liu and Klim and Wardowski.     

Inward contractions on metric spaces

We study the existence of constrained fixed points of contractions in arbitrary complete metric spaces from a global and local point of view. In particular, we provide generalizations of results due to Lim, Downing and Kirk and others. Some aspects of the topological transversality in the spirit of Frigon and Granas of contractions under constraints are also considered.     

Fixed point theorems for generalized contractions in ordered metric spaces

The purpose of this paper is to present some fixed point results for self-generalized contractions in ordered metric spaces. Our results generalize and extend some recent results of A.C.M. Ran, M.C. Reurings [A.C.M. Ran, M.C. Reurings, A fixed point theorem in partially ordered sets and some applications to matrix equations, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 132 (2004) 1435-1443], J.J. Nieto, R. Rodríguez-López [J.J. Nieto, R. Rodríguez-López, Contractive mapping theorems in partially ordered sets and applications to ordinary differential equations, Order 22 (2005) 223-239; J.J. Nieto, R. Rodríguez-López, Existence and uniqueness of fixed points in partially ordered sets and applications to ordinary differential equations, Acta Math. Sin. (Engl. Ser.) 23 (2007) 2205-2212], J.J. Nieto, R.L. Pouso, R. Rodríguez-López [J.J. Nieto, R.L. Pouso, R. Rodríguez-López, Fixed point theorem theorems in ordered abstract sets, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 135 (2007) 2505-2517], A. Petru?el, I.A. Rus [A. Petru?el, I.A. Rus, Fixed point theorems in ordered L-spaces, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 134 (2006) 411-418] and R.P. Agarwal, M.A. El-Gebeily, D. O'Regan [R.P. Agarwal, M.A. El-Gebeily, D. O'Regan, Generalized contractions in partially ordered metric spaces, Appl. Anal., in press]. As applications, existence and uniqueness results for Fredholm and Volterra type integral equations are given.     

Dynamic processes and fixed points of set-valued nonlinear contractions in cone metric spaces

Investigations concerning the existence of dynamic processes convergent to fixed points of set-valued nonlinear contractions in cone metric spaces are initiated. The conditions guaranteeing the existence and uniqueness of fixed points of such contractions are established. Our theorems generalize recent results obtained by Huang and Zhang [L.-G. Huang, X. Zhang, Cone metric spaces and fixed point theorems of contractive maps, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 332 (2007) 1467–1475] for cone metric spaces and by Klim and Wardowski [D. Klim, D. Wardowski, Fixed point theorems for set-valued contractions in complete metric spaces, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 334 (1) (2007) 132–139] for metric spaces. The examples and remarks provided show an essential difference between our results and those mentioned above.     

On an equivalence of topological vector space valued cone metric spaces and metric spaces

Scalarization method is an important tool in the study of vector optimization as corresponding solutions of vector optimization problems can be found by solving scalar optimization problems. Recently this has been applied by Du (2010) [14] to investigate the equivalence of vectorial versions of fixed point theorems of contractive mappings in generalized cone metric spaces and scalar versions of fixed point theorems in general metric spaces in usual sense. In this paper, we find out that the topology induced by topological vector space valued cone metric coincides with the topology induced by the metric obtained via a nonlinear scalarization function, i.e any topological vector space valued cone metric space is metrizable, prove a completion theorem, and also obtain some more results in topological vector space valued cone normed spaces.     

Plasticity in metric spaces

In this paper we examine the properties of EC-plastic metric spaces, spaces which have the property that any noncontractive bijection from the space onto itself must be an isometry.
