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].     

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).     

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.     

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.     

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]

Boyd-Wong-type common fixed point results in cone metric spaces

Some common fixed point results in cone metric spaces of C. Di Bari and P. Vetro [C. Di Bari, P. Vetro, φ-pairs and common fixed points in cone metric spaces, Rend. Cir. Mat. Palermo 57 (2008), 279-285] as well as P. Raja and S.M. Vaezpour [P. Raja, S.M. Vaezpour, Some extensions of Banach’s Contraction Principle in complete metric spaces, Fixed Point Theory Appl. (2008), doi:10.1155/2008/768294] are extended using generalized contractive-type conditions and cones which may be nonnormal. Cone metric versions of several well-known results, such as Boyd-Wong’s theorem [D.W. Boyd, J.S. Wong, On nonlinear contractions, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 20 (1969), 458-464], are obtained as special cases.

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

The fixed point theory of set-valued contractions which was initiated by Nadler [S.B. Nadler Jr., Multi-valued contraction mappings, Pacific J. Math. 30 (1969) 475-488] was developed in different directions by many authors, in particular, by [S. Reich, Fixed points of contractive functions, Boll. Unione Mat. Ital. 5 (1972) 26-42; N. Mizoguchi, W. Takahashi, Fixed point theorems for multivalued mappings on complete metric spaces, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 141 (1989) 177-188; 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]. In the present paper, the concept of contraction for set-valued maps in metric spaces is introduced and the conditions guaranteeing the existence of a fixed point for such a contraction are established. One of our results essentially generalizes the Nadler and Feng-Liu theorems and is different from the Mizoguchi-Takahashi result. The second result is different from the Reich and Mizoguchi-Takahashi results. The method used in the proofs of our results is inspired by Mizoguchi-Takahashi and Feng-Liu's ideas. Comparisons and examples are given.     

Weak axioms of choice for metric spaces

In the framework of ZF, i.e., Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory without the axiom of choice AC, we show that if the family of all non-empty, closed subsets of a metric space has a choice function, then so does the family of all non-empty, open subsets of . In addition, we establish that the converse is not provable in ZF.

We also show that the statement ``every subspace of the real line with the standard topology has a choice function for its family of all closed, non-empty subsets" is equivalent to the weak choice form ``every continuum sized family of non-empty subsets of reals has a choice function".
