Collective fixed points and maximal elements with applications to abstract economies

In this paper, we first establish collective fixed points theorems for a family of multivalued maps with or without assuming that the product of these multivalued maps is Φ-condensing. As an application of our collective fixed points theorem, we derive the coincidence theorem for two families of multivalued maps defined on product spaces. Then we give some existence results for maximal elements for a family of L_S-majorized multivalued maps whose product is Φ-condensing. We also prove some existence results for maximal elements for a family of multivalued maps which are not L_S-majorized but their product is Φ-condensing. As applications of our results, some existence results for equilibria of abstract economies are also derived. The results of this paper are more general than those given in the literature.

Approximation Theorems and Fixed Point Theorems for Various Classes of 1-set-contractive Mappings in Banach Spaces

In this paper, we will prove that Ky Fan's Theorem (Math. Z. 112(1969), 234–240) is true for 1-set-contractive maps defined on a bounded closed convex subset K in a Banach space with intK≠0. This class of 1-set-contractive maps includes condensing maps, nonexpansive maps, semicontractive maps, LANE maps and others. As applications of our theorems, some fixed point theorems of non-selfmaps are proved under various well-known boundary conditions. Our results are generalizations and improvements of the recent results obtained by many authors.

Generalized vector quasi-equilibrium problems with applications

In this paper, we consider the generalized vector quasi-equilibrium problem with or without involving Φ-condensing maps and prove the existence of its solution by using known fixed point and maximal element theorems. As applications of our results, we derive some existence results for a solution to the vector quasi-optimization problem for nondifferentiable functions and vector quasi-saddle point problem.     

Coincidence and fixed points for hybrid strict contractions

We define the property (E.A) for single-valued and multivalued mappings and introduce the notion of T-weak commutativity for a hybrid pair (f,T) of single-valued and multivalued maps. We obtain some coincidence and fixed point theorems for this class of maps and derive, as application, an approximation theorem.     

Systems of quasi-variational relations with applications

In this paper, we introduce a system of quasi-variational relations (in short, SQVR) and present several examples which show that it is a very general and unified model of several problems. We establish the existence of solutions of SQVP, in general, and several other problems, in particular. As an application of our results, we derive maximal element theorems and a collectively fixed point theorem for a family of multivalued maps. As further applications, we study Ky Fan type inequality / inclusion problem for vector valued bifunctions which includes constrained Nash equilibrium problem as a special case. We also present a common fixed point theorem for a family of multivalued maps. The results of this paper improve and generalize several known results on (system of) quasi-equilibrium problems, (system of) quasi-variational inclusions, constrained Nash equilibrium problem, collectively fixed point theorem and KKM type theorems for a family of multivalued maps. Our results also contain several results which appeared in recent literature.     

New cone fixed point theorems for nonlinear multivalued maps with their applications

In this paper, we first establish some new types of fixed point theorems for nonlinear multivalued maps in cone metric spaces. From those results, we obtain new fixed point theorems for nonlinear multivalued maps in metric spaces and the generalizations of Mizoguchi–Takahashi’s fixed point theorem and Berinde–Berinde’s fixed point theorem. Some applications to the study of metric fixed point theory are given.     

On coincidence point and fixed point theorems for nonlinear multivalued maps

Several characterizations of MT-functions are first given in this paper. Applying the characterizations of MT-functions, we establish some existence theorems for coincidence point and fixed point in complete metric spaces. From these results, we can obtain new generalizations of Berinde-Berinde?s fixed point theorem and Mizoguchi-Takahashi?s fixed point theorem for nonlinear multivalued contractive maps. Our results generalize and improve some main results in the literature.

Some generalizations of Ekeland-type variational principle with applications to equilibrium problems and fixed point theory

In this paper, we introduce the concept of a Q$Q$-function defined on a quasi-metric space which generalizes the notion of a τ$\tau$-function and a w$w$-distance. We establish Ekeland-type variational principles in the setting of quasi-metric spaces with a Q$Q$-function. We also present an equilibrium version of the Ekeland-type variational principle in the setting of quasi-metric spaces with a Q$Q$-function. We prove some equivalences of our variational principles with Caristi–Kirk type fixed point theorems for multivalued maps, the Takahashi minimization theorem and some other related results. As applications of our results, we derive existence results for solutions of equilibrium problems and fixed point theorems for multivalued maps. We also extend the Nadler’s fixed point theorem for multivalued maps to a Q$Q$-function and in the setting of complete quasi-metric spaces. As a consequence, we prove the Banach contraction theorem for a Q$Q$-function and in the setting of complete quasi-metric spaces. The results of this paper extend and generalize many results appearing recently in the literature.     

Existence and data dependence of fixed points for multivalued operators on gauge spaces

The purpose of this note is to present some fixed point and data dependence theorems in complete gauge spaces and in hyperconvex metric spaces for the so-called Meir-Keeler multivalued operators and admissible multivalued aα-contractions. Our results extend and generalize several theorems of Espínola and Kirk [R. Espínola, W.A. Kirk, Set-valued contractions and fixed points, Nonlinear Anal. 54 (2003) 485-494] and Rus, Petru?el, and Sînt?m?rian [I.A. Rus, A. Petru?el, A. Sînt?m?rian, Data dependence of the fixed point set of some multivalued weakly Picard operators, Nonlinear Anal. 52 (2003) 1947-1959].     

Generalized vector quasi-equilibrium problems with applications to common fixed point theorems and optimization problems

A new existence theory for periodic solutions to evolution equations

ABSTRACT

This paper deals with a new existence theory for periodic solutions to a broad class of evolution equations. We first establish new fixed point theorems for affine maps in locally convex spaces and ordered Banach spaces. Our new fixed point results extend, encompass and complement a number of well-known theorems in the literature, including the famous Chow and Hale fixed point theorem. With these obtained fixed point results, we investigate the existence of periodic solutions for some class of nonhomogeneous linear systems in Banach spaces with lack of compactness. Some illustrative examples are also given.     

Algorithms for a system of generalized mixed equilibrium problems and a countable family of some nonlinear multi-valued nonexpansive-type maps

In this paper, relaxed iterative algorithms of Krasnoselskii-type and Halperntype that approximate a solution of a system of a generalized mixed equilibrium problem and a common fixed point of a countable family of totally quasi-φ-asymptotically nonexpansive multi-valued maps are constructed. Strong convergence of the sequence generated by these algorithms is proved in uniformly smooth and strictly convex real Banach spaces with KadecKlee property. Furthermore, several applications of our theorems are also presented. Finally,our theorems are significant improvements on several important recent results for this class of nonlinear problems.     

The Leray-Schauder condition for 1-set weakly-contractive and (ws)-compact operators

The main purpose of this article is to prove a collection of new fixed point theorems for (ws)-compact and so-called 1-set weakly contractive operators under Leray-Schauder boundary condition. We also introduce the concept of semi-closed operator at the origin and obtain a series of new fixed point theorems for such class of operators. As consequences, we get new fixed point existence for (ws)-compact (in particular nonexpansive) self mappings unbounded closed convex subset of Banach spaces. The main condition in our results is formulated in terms of axiomatic measures of weak noncompactness. Later on, we give an application to generalized Hammerstein type integral equations.     

Generalized Topological Essentiality and Coincidence Points of Multivalued Maps

A concept of generalized topological essentiality for a large class of multivalued maps in topological vector Klee admissible spaces is presented. Some direct applications to differential equations are discussed. Using the inverse systems approach the coincidence point sets of limit maps are examined. The main motivation as well as main aim of this note is a study of fixed points of multivalued maps in Fréchet spaces. The approach presented in the paper allows to check not only the nonemptiness of the fixed point set but also its topological structure.      

Generalized KKM theorems and common fixed point theorems

In this paper, we first prove a generalized KKM theorem, and then use this generalized KKM theorem to establish the generalized equi-KKM theorem, common fixed point theorems for a family of multivalued maps, and the Kakutani-Fan-Glicksberg fixed point theorem. We also show that an existence theorem of the common fixed point theorem is equivalent to the Kakutani-Fan-Glicksberg fixed point theorem.     

Fixed point and homotopy results for multivalued maps satisfying an implicit relation

We present some common fixed point theorems for multivalued maps satisfying an implicit relation on complete metric spaces. Also a homotopy result is given for multivalued maps.     

Towards Lim

The paper contains an elegant extension of the Nadler fixed point theorem for multivalued contractions (see Theorem 21). It is based on a new idea of the α-step mappings (see Definition 17) being more efficient than α-contractions. In the present paper this theorem is a tool in proving some fixed point theorems for “nonexpansive” mappings in the bead spaces (metric spaces that, roughly speaking, are modelled after convex sets in uniformly convex spaces). More precisely the mappings are nonexpansive on a set with respect to only one point - the centre of this set (see condition (4)). The results are pretty general. At first we assume that the value of the mapping under consideration at this central point looks “sharp” (see Definition 6). This idea leads to a group of theorems (based on Theorem 7). Their proofs are compact and the theorems, in particular, are natural extensions of the classical results for (usual) nonexpansive mappings. In the second part we apply the idea of Lim to investigate the regular sequences and here the proofs are based on our extension of Nadler's Theorem. In consequence we obtain some fixed point theorems that generalise the classical Lim Theorem for multivalued nonexpansive mappings (see e.g. Theorem 26).     

Vectorial form of Ekeland-type variational principle with applications to vector equilibrium problems and fixed point theory

This paper introduces a vectorial form of equilibrium version of Ekeland-type variational principle. Some equivalent results to our variational principle are given. As applications, we derive the existence of solutions of a vector equilibrium problem in the setting of complete quasi-metric spaces with a W-distance. Caristi-Kirk fixed point theorem for multivalued maps is also established in a more general setting.
