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.     

Set-valued topological contractions

By introducing a new concept called “set-valued topological contraction” in topological spaces, the existence and uniqueness of endpoints for both set-valued and single-valued topological contractions have been established.     

Coincidence and fixed points in symmetric spaces under strict contractions

Some common fixed point theorems due to Aamri and El Moutawakil [M. Aamri, D. El Moutawakil, Some new common fixed point theorems under strict contractive conditions, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 270 (2002) 181-188] and Pant and Pant [R.P. Pant, V. Pant, Common fixed points under strict contractive conditions, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 248 (2000) 327-332] proved for strict contractive mappings in metric spaces are extended to symmetric (semi-metric) spaces under tight conditions. Some related results are derived besides discussing illustrative examples which establish the utility of results proved in this note.     

Common fixed points of strict contractions in Menger spaces

The aim of this paper is to prove some common fixed point theorems under certain strict contractive conditions for mappings sharing the common property (E.A) in Menger spaces. As applications to our results, we obtain the corresponding common fixed point theorems under strict contraction in metric spaces. Thus, our results generalize many known results in Menger as well as metric spaces. Some related results are also derived besides presenting several illustrative examples.     

Connected extensions of metric spaces and fixed points of Banach contractions

Two theorems announced by the author are proved. The first theorem concerns the existence of connected metrizable extensions of metric spaces. The second theorem is a slightly paradoxical assertion about the validity of the fixed-point principle. Bibliography: 4 titles.

On the equivalence of certain statements on fixed points of contractions

It is shown that a series of recent (2012–2016) generalizations of the notion of contraction (F-contraction, weak F-contraction, etc.) in fact reduce to known notions of contraction (due to Browder, Boyd and Wong, Meir and Keeler, etc.).     

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.     

Common fixed points of generalized contractions on partial metric spaces and an application

In this paper, common fixed point theorems for four mappings satisfying a generalized nonlinear contraction type condition on partial metric spaces are proved. Presented theorems extend the very recent results of I. Altun, F. Sola and H. Simsek [Generalized contractions on partial metric spaces, Topology and its applications 157 (18) (2010) 2778-2785]. As application, some homotopy results for operators on a set endowed with a partial metric are given.     

Coincidence and common fixed points for hybrid strict contractions without the weakly commuting condition

In this work, we establish new coincidence and common fixed point theorems for hybrid strict contraction maps by dropping the assumption “f is T-weakly commuting” for a hybrid pair (f,T) of multivalued maps in Theorem 3.10 of T. Kamran (2004) [8]. As an application, an invariant approximation result is derived.     

Common fixed points of nonlinear hybrid mappings under strict contractions in semi-metric spaces

In this paper, we extend the notion of common property (E.A) to pairs of hybrid mappings defined on an arbitrary set with values in a semi-metric space and use it to prove some coincidence and common fixed point theorems in semi-metric (potent semi-metric) spaces under strict contractions. Our results generalize several previously known fixed point theorems of the existing literature.     

Multiple positive fixed points for the sum of expansive mappings and k‐set contractions

In this work, we are concerned with the existence of multiple positive fixed points for the sum of an expansive mapping with constant h > 1 and a k‐set contraction when 0 ≤ k < h ? 1. In particular, the case of the sum of an expansive mapping with constant h > 1 and an e‐concave operator and an e‐convex operator is considered. Two examples of application illustrate some of the theoretical results.     

Viscosity approximation to common fixed points of families of nonexpansive mappings with generalized contractions mappings

Let X$X$ be a reflexive and smooth real Banach space which has a weakly sequentially continuous duality mapping. In this paper, we consider the following viscosity approximation scheme _xn+1=_λn+1f(_xn)+(1−_λn+1)_Tn+1xn$x_{n+1}={\lambda }_{n+1}f\left(x_n\right)+(1-{\lambda }_{n+1})T_{n+1}{x}_n$ (where f$f$ is a generalized contraction mapping) for infinitely many nonexpansive self-mappings _T1,_T2,_T3,…$T_1,T_2,T_3,\dots$ in X$X$. We establish a strong convergence result which generalizes some results in the literature.     

Fixed points of asymptotic contractions

Let be a contractive gauge function in the sense that φ is continuous, φ(s)<s for s>0, and if f:M→M satisfies d(f(x),f(y))?φ(d(x,y)) for all x,y in a complete metric space (M,d), then f always has a unique fixed point. It is proved that if T:M→M satisfies

     

Normality and attracting fixed points

Let k 2 be a fixed integer. We construct a non-normal familyof meromorphic functions in the unit disc with kth iteratesthat have no non-attracting fixed points in the unit disc. Wealso prove that a family of meromorphic functions in a planedomain is normal if all fixed points in the domain of the k-iteratesof all functions in the family are uniformly attracting.     

Reflexive domains and fixed points

In a recent paper in this journal, J. Soto-Andrade and F. J. Varela draw attention to the fact that ifR is a retract of a reflexive domain in a suitable category thenR has the fixed point property. They suggest [1], pp. 1 and 18, that conversely every structure with the fixed point property is a retract of a reflexive domain. In this note it is shown that ifR is a retract of a reflexive domain thenR ^R has the fixed point property. This leads to counterexamples to the suggestion of Soto-Andrade and Varela in the categoryPo of partially ordered sets and monotone maps.
