Applications of Michael's selection theorems to fixed point theory

Applying some of Ernest Michael's selection theorems, from recent fixed point theorems on u.s.c. multimaps, we deduce generalizations of the classical Bolzano theorem, several fixed point theorems on multimaps defined on almost convex sets, almost fixed point theorems, coincidence theorems, and collectively fixed point theorems. These results are related mainly to Michael maps, that is, l.s.c. multimaps having nonempty closed convex values.     

Generalizations of fixed point theorems and computation

As a powerful mechanism, fixed point theorems have many applications in mathematical and economic analysis. In this paper, the well-known Brouwer fixed point theorem and Kakutani fixed point theorem are generalized to a class of nonconvex sets and a globally convergent homotopy method is developed for computing fixed points on this class of nonconvex sets.     

The fair allocation of common fixed cost or revenue using DEA concept

The common fixed cost or revenue distribution amongst decision making units (briefly, DMUs) in an equitable way is one of the problems that can be solved by data envelopment analysis (DEA) concept. The motivation of this paper is common fixed cost or revenue allocation based on following three principles: First, allocation must be directly proportional to the elements (inputs and outputs) that are directly proportional to imposed common fixed cost or to obtained common fixed revenue. Second, allocation must be inversely proportional to the elements that are inversely proportional to common fixed cost or revenue. Finally, the elements that have no effect on common fixed cost or revenue must have no effect on allocation as well.     

Fixed point results on a metric space endowed with a finite number of graphs and applications

In this paper, we consider self-mappings defined on a metric space endowed with a finite number of graphs. Under certain conditions imposed on the graphs, we establish a new fixed point theorem for such mappings. The obtained result extends, generalizes and improves many existing contributions in the literature including standard fixed point theorems, fixed point theorems on a metric space endowed with a partial order and fixed point theorems for cyclic mappings.     

Remarks on Caristi’s fixed point theorem and Kirk’s problem

Without assumptions on the continuity and the subadditivity of η, by means of Caristi’s fixed point theorem, we investigated the existence of fixed points for a Caristi type mapping which partially answered Kirk’s problem and improved Caristi’s fixed point theorem, Jachymski’s fixed point theorem and Khamsi’s fixed point theorem since φ is not necessarily assumed to be bounded below on X.     

Deleting-Inserting Theorem for smooth actions of finite nonsolvable groups on spheres

The paper presents a method which allows to construct smooth finite nonsolvable group actions on spheres with prescribed fixed point data. The idea is to consider an action on a disk with the required fixed point data, and then to apply equivariant surgery to the equivariant double of the disk to remove the second copy of the fixed point data. In this paper, the method is applied to construct smooth group actions on spheres with exactly one fixed point, and more general actions with fixed point set diffeomorphic to any given closed stably parallelizable smooth manifold. The method is expected to be useful for constructions of smooth group actions on spheres with more complicated fixed point data. 1991Mathematics Subject Classification: 57S17, 57S25, 57R67, 57R85.

On fixed points of stratified maps

Nielsen fixed point theory deals with the fixed point sets of self maps on compact polyhedra. In this note, we shall extend it to stratified maps, to consider fixed points on (noncompact) strata. The extension was motivated by our recent work on the braid forcing problem in which the deleted symmetric products are indispensable. The stratified viewpoint is theoretically as natural as the equivariant Nielsen fixed point theory, while it can be more tractable computationally and more flexible in applications. This work was partially supported by an NSFC grant and a BMEC grant.     

A fixed point theorem for the infinite-dimensional simplex

We define the infinite-dimensional simplex to be the closure of the convex hull of the standard basis vectors in R^∞, and prove that this space has the fixed point property: any continuous function from the space into itself has a fixed point. Our proof is constructive, in the sense that it can be used to find an approximate fixed point; the proof relies on elementary analysis and Sperner's lemma. The fixed point theorem is shown to imply Schauder's fixed point theorem on infinite-dimensional compact convex subsets of normed spaces.

Topological properties of strongly monotone planar vector fields

We consider strongly monotone continuous planar vector fields with a finite number of fixed points. The fixed points fall into three classes, attractors, repellers and saddles. Naturally, the relative positions of the fixed points must obey a set of restrictions imposed by monotonicity. The study of these restrictions is the main goal of the paper. With any given vector field, we associate a matrix describing the arrangement of the fixed points on the plane. We then use these matrices to formulate simple necessary and sufficient conditions which allow one to determine whether a finite set of attractors, repellers and saddles at given positions on the plane can be realized as the fixed point set of a strongly monotone vector field.     

Qualitative versus quantitative fixed point techniques in computer science

In 1970, a qualitative fixed point technique useful to model the recursive specifications in denotational semantics was developed by means of the celebrated Kleene‘s fixed point theorem. Later on, in 1994 and 1995, quantitative counterparts of the aforesaid technique, but now based on generalized versions of Banach fixed point theorem, were obtained in such a way that the spirit of Kleene‘s technique was preserved. These new techniques are able to provide a measure of the information content degree and this fact has constituted an advantage with respect to the qualitative techniques. The main purpose of this paper is to discern the relationship between the aforementioned qualitative and quantitative fixed point techniques. In particular, we clarify what is the additional real contribution of the quantitative fixed point techniques with respect to the qualitative ones.     

复值度量空间上的B-隐式压缩条件和唯一(公共)不动点（英文）

A class B of complex functions is introduced and several existence theorems of unique(common) fixed points for mappings satisfying a B-implicit contraction are presented.Moreover, the existence results of common fixed points for two mappings on a nonempty set with two complex valued metrics are provided. Our outcomes generalize and improve some known results, especially, for instance, Banach contraction principle, Chatterjea-type fixed point theorem and the corresponding fixed point theorems.

Existence and number of fixed points of Boolean transformations via the semi-tensor product method

Using the semi-tensor product method, this paper investigates the existence and number of fixed points of Boolean transformations. First, a Boolean function is expressed in an algebraic form via constructing its unique structural matrix. Second, based on the matrix expression, the existence of fixed points of Boolean transformations is converted into finding solutions to algebraic equations, and a set of new results is presented. Moreover, an effective algorithm is established to find all the fixed points of Boolean transformations. Finally, as an application, we study how to construct all the Boolean transformations with fixed number of fixed points.     

Some iterative methods for finding fixed points and for solving constrained convex minimization problems

The present paper is divided into two parts. In the first part, we introduce implicit and explicit iterative schemes for finding the fixed point of a nonexpansive mapping defined on the closed convex subset of a real Hilbert space. We establish results on the strong convergence of the sequences generated by the proposed schemes to a fixed point of a nonexpansive mapping. Such a fixed point is also a solution of a variational inequality defined on the set of fixed points. In the second part, we propose implicit and explicit iterative schemes for finding the approximate minimizer of a constrained convex minimization problem and prove that the sequences generated by our schemes converge strongly to a solution of the constrained convex minimization problem. Such a solution is also a solution of a variational inequality defined over the set of fixed points of a nonexpansive mapping. The results of this paper extend and improve several results presented in the literature in the recent past.     

Fixed point separating congruences on double MS-algebras

Circle action with prescribed number of fixed points

Given any two positive integers k and n, this paper is concerned with the existence of a circle action on a closed, smooth orientable n-dimensional manifold with precisely k isolated fixed points. We first show that this existence problem can be reduced to that of an n-dimensional manifold with exactly three fixed points. Then by using a rigidity result, we determine possible weights on these three fixed points when n = 4.     

Fixed point theorems for generalized contractions on partial metric spaces
