Some generalizations of Caristi’s fixed point theorem with applications to the fixed point theory of weakly contractive set-valued maps and the minimization problem

In this paper, we first prove some generalizations of Caristi’s fixed point theorem. Then we give some applications to the fixed point theory of weakly contractive set-valued maps and the minimization problem.     

Common fixed point theorems under strict contractive conditions in Menger spaces

The main purpose of this paper is to establish some common fixed point theorems under strict contractive conditions for mappings satisfying the property (E.A) in Menger probabilistic metric spaces. As applications, we obtain the corresponding common fixed point theorems under strict contractive in metric spaces.     

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.     

Fixed point theory for a new type of contractive multivalued operators

The aim of this paper is to discuss some basic problems (data dependence, well-posedness, nonself operators, homotopy results, generalized contractions) of the fixed point theory for a new type contractive multivalued operator. The results complement and extend some very recent results proved by M. Kikkawa and T. Suzuki, as well as, other theorems given by M. Frigon and A. Granas, S. Reich, I.A. Rus, etc.     

Fixed point theorems for generalized metrically inward maps

We prove fixed point results for multimaps satisfying a generalized metric (or an α-metric) inwardness condition. Our results extend, generalize or improve several known results.     

The common minimal-norm fixed point of a finite family of nonexpansive mappings

Consider a finite family of nonexpansive mappings which are defined on a closed convex subset of a Hilbert space H. Suppose the set of common fixed points of this family is nonempty. We then address the problem of finding the minimum-norm element of this common fixed point set. We introduce both cyclic and parallel iteration methods to find this minimal-norm element.     

A GENERALIZATION OF CLARKE＇S FIXED POINT THEOREM

This paper proposes a formally stronger set-valued Claxke‘s fixed point theorem. By this-theorem we can improve a fixed point theorem for weakly inward contraction set-valued mapping of D. Dowing and W.A. Kirk.     

Two results in metric fixed point theory

We establish two fixed point theorems for certain mappings of contractive type. The first result is concerned with the case where such mappings take a nonempty, closed subset of a complete metric space X into X, and the second with an application of the continuation method to the case where they satisfy the Leray–Schauder boundary condition in Banach spaces.     

Common fixed point results in CAT(0) spaces

Let X be a complete CAT(0) space, T be a generalized multivalued nonexpansive mapping, and t be a single valued quasi-nonexpansive mapping. Under the assumption that T and t commute weakly, we shall prove the existence of a common fixed point for them. In this way, we extend and improve a number of recent results obtained by Shahzad (2009) [7] and [12], Shahzad and Markin (2008) [6], and Dhompongsa et al. (2005) [5].     

A fixed point theorem for discontinuous functions

Any function from a non-empty polytope into itself that is locally gross direction preserving is shown to have the fixed point property. Brouwer's fixed point theorem for continuous functions is a special case. We discuss the application of the result in the area of non-cooperative game theory.     

A fixed point theorem for contraction type maps in partially ordered metric spaces and application to ordinary differential equations

We present a fixed point theorem for generalized contraction in partially ordered complete metric spaces. As an application, we give an existence and uniqueness for the solution of a periodic boundary value problem.     

A general iterative method for equilibrium problems and fixed point problems in Hilbert spaces

The purpose of this paper is to study the strong convergence of a general iterative scheme to find a common element of the set of fixed points of a nonexpansive mapping, the set of solutions of variational inequality for a relaxed cocoercive mapping and the set of solutions of an equilibrium problem. Our results extend the recent results of Takahashi and Takahashi [S. Takahashi, W. Takahashi, Viscosity approximation methods for equilibrium problems and fixed point problems in Hilbert spaces, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 331 (2007) 506–515], Marino and Xu [G. Marino, H.K. Xu, A general iterative method for nonexpansive mappings in Hilbert spaces, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 318 (2006) 43–52], Combettes and Hirstoaga [P.L. Combettes, S.A. Hirstoaga, Equilibrium programming in Hilbert spaces, J. Nonlinear Convex Anal. 6 (2005) 486–491], Iiduka and Takahashi, [H. Iiduka, W. Takahashi, Strong convergence theorems for nonexpansive mappings and inverse-strongly monotone mappings, Nonlinear Anal. 61 (2005) 341–350] and many others.     

Best proximity point theorems for cyclic orbital Meir-Keeler contraction maps

We introduce a notion of cyclic orbital Meir-Keeler contraction and give sufficient conditions for the existence of fixed points and best proximity points of such a map. Our main result is a generalization of a best proximity point result due to Di Bari et al. [C. Di Bari, T. Suzuki, C. Vetro, Best proximity points for cyclic Meir-Keeler contractions, Nonlinear Anal. 69 (2008) 3790-3794].     

A fixed point theorem for weakly Zamfirescu mappings

In [5], Zamfirescu (1972) gave a fixed point theorem that generalizes the classical fixed point theorems by Banach, Kannan, and Chatterjea. In this paper, we follow the ideas of Dugundji and Granas to extend Zamfirescu’s fixed point theorem to the class of weakly Zamfirescu maps. A continuation method for this class of maps is also given.     

Critical types of krasnoselskii fixed point theorems in weak topologies

Abstract

In this note, by means of the technique of measures of weak noncom- pactness, we establish a generalized form of fixed point theorem for the sum of T+S in weak topology setups of a metrizable locally convex space, where S is not weakly compact, I?T allows to be noninvertible, and T is not necessarily continuous. The obtained results unify and significantly extend a lot of previously known extensions of Krasnoselskii fixed-point theorems. The analysis presented here reveals the essential characteristics of the Krasnoselskii type fixed-point theorem in weak topology settings.     

Fixed point theorems for generalized set-contraction maps and their applications

A new generalized set-valued contraction on topological spaces with respect to a measure of noncompactness is introduced. Two fixed point theorems for the KKM type maps which are either generalized set-contraction or condensing ones are given. Furthermore, applications of these results for existence of coincidence points and maximal elements are deduced.     

Krasnosel’skii type fixed point theorems under weak topology features

In this paper we prove the following Krasnosel’skii type fixed point theorem: Let M be a nonempty bounded closed convex subset of a Banach space X. Suppose that A:M→X and B:X→X are two weakly sequentially continuous mappings satisfying:

(i)

AM is relatively weakly compact;

(ii)

B is a strict contraction;

(iii)

.

Then A+B has at least one fixed point in M.This result is then used to obtain some new fixed point theorems for the sum of a weakly compact and a nonexpansive mapping. The results presented in this paper encompass several earlier ones in the literature.     

A note on cone metric fixed point theory and its equivalence

The main aim of this paper is to investigate the equivalence of vectorial versions of fixed point theorems in generalized cone metric spaces and scalar versions of fixed point theorems in (general) metric spaces (in usual sense). We show that the Banach contraction principles in general metric spaces and in TVS-cone metric spaces are equivalent. Our theorems also extend some results in Huang and Zhang (2007) [L.-G. Huang, X. Zhang, Cone metric spaces and fixed point theorems of contractive mappings, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 332 (2007) 1468-1476], Rezapour and Hamlbarani (2008) [Sh. Rezapour, R. Hamlbarani, Some notes on the paper Cone metric spaces and fixed point theorems of contractive mappings, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 345 (2008) 719-724] and others.
