On an equivalence of topological vector space valued cone metric spaces and metric spaces

Scalarization method is an important tool in the study of vector optimization as corresponding solutions of vector optimization problems can be found by solving scalar optimization problems. Recently this has been applied by Du (2010) [14] to investigate the equivalence of vectorial versions of fixed point theorems of contractive mappings in generalized cone metric spaces and scalar versions of fixed point theorems in general metric spaces in usual sense. In this paper, we find out that the topology induced by topological vector space valued cone metric coincides with the topology induced by the metric obtained via a nonlinear scalarization function, i.e any topological vector space valued cone metric space is metrizable, prove a completion theorem, and also obtain some more results in topological vector space valued cone normed spaces.     

Edelstein's fixed point theorem in topological spaces

An extension to topological spaces of a wellknown fixed point theorem of M. Edelstein for contractive mappings on metric spaces is presented. Results based on the generalized Edelstein's theorem are also established concerning the existence of fixed points of continuous selfmaps on a topological space. As a special case a compact starshaped subset of a linear topological space is considered. The results extend the fixed point theoremsfor nonexpansive mappings on a compact metric space of L.F.Guseman, Jr. and B.C. Peters, Jr.     

Fixed Point Theorems of the Iterated Function Systems

In this paper, we present some fixed point theorems of iterated function systems consisting of α-ψ-contractive type mappings in Fractal space constituted by the compact subset of metric space and iterated function systems consisting of Banach contractive mappings in Fractal space constituted by the compact subset of generalized metric space, which is also extensively applied in topological dynamic system.     

Extension of contractive maps in the Menger probabilistic metric space

In this article, the topological properties of the Menger probabilistic metric spaces and the mappings between these spaces are studied. In addition, contractive and k-contractive mappings are introduced. As an application, a new fixed point theorem in a chainable Menger probabilistic metric space is proved.     

Cone metric spaces and fixed point theorems of contractive mappings

In this paper we introduce cone metric spaces, prove some fixed point theorems of contractive mappings on cone metric spaces.     

Some results of Perov type in rectangular cone metric spaces

In 2000, Branciari replaced the triangle inequality by a more general one which today is known as the rectangular inequality and introduced the notion of generalized metric space or rectangular metric space. Subsequently Azam, Arshad, and Beg introduced the concept of rectangular cone metric space and proved fixed point results for Banach-type contractions in rectangular cone metric spaces. In this paper, we establish fixed point results for mappings that satisfy a contractive condition of Perov type in rectangular cone metric spaces.     

Common fixed points in cone metric spaces

In this paper we consider a notion of g-weak contractive mappings in the setting of cone metric spaces and we give results of common fixed points. This results generalize some common fixed points results in metric spaces and some of the results of Huang and Zhang in cone metric spaces. Supported by Universitá degli Studi di Palermo, R.

Fixed and periodic point results in cone metric spaces

Huang and Zhang [L.-G. Haung, X. Zhang, Cone metric spaces and fixed point theorems of contractive mappings, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 332 (2007) 1468–1476] proved some fixed point theorems in cone metric spaces. In this work we prove some fixed point theorems in cone metric spaces, including results which generalize those from Haung and Zhang’s work. Given the fact that, in a cone, one has only a partial ordering, it is doubtful that their Theorem 2.1 can be further generalized. We also show that these maps have no nontrivial periodic points.     

On ?iri? maps with a generalized contractive iterate at a point and Fisher’s quasi-contractions in cone metric spaces

In this paper, we generalize and unify some results of Sehgal and Guseman, and ?iri?’s theorem for mappings with a generalized contractive iterate at a point to cone metric spaces, in which the cone does not need to be normal. As corollaries, we obtain recent results of Huang and Zhang, and Raja and Vaezpour. Furthermore, we introduce the definition of Fisher quasi-contractions on cone metric spaces and study their properties. Among other things, using new method of proof, we solve the open problem for the interval of contractive constant λ of (?iri?) quasi-contraction in non-normal cone metric spaces, and as sn immediate corollary, we recover the recent result of Rezapour and Hamlbarani.     

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.

Some notes on the paper “Cone metric spaces and fixed point theorems of contractive mappings”

Huang and Zhang reviewed cone metric spaces in 2007 [Huang Long-Guang, Zhang Xian, Cone metric spaces and fixed point theorems of contractive mappings, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 332 (2007) 1468-1476]. We shall prove that there are no normal cones with normal constant M<1 and for each k>1 there are cones with normal constant M>k. Also, by providing non-normal cones and omitting the assumption of normality in some results of [Huang Long-Guang, Zhang Xian, Cone metric spaces and fixed point theorems of contractive mappings, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 332 (2007) 1468-1476], we obtain generalizations of the results.     

KKM mappings in metric type spaces

In this work we discuss some recent results about KKM mappings in cone metric spaces. We also discuss the fixed point existence results of multivalued mappings defined on such metric spaces. In particular we show that most of the new results are merely copies of the classical ones and do not necessitate the underlying Banach space nor the associated cone.     

An Extension of Set-Valued Contraction Principle for Mappings on a Metric Space with a Graph and Application

In this paper, we obtain an existence theorem for fixed points of contractive set-valued mappings on a metric space endowed with a graph. This theorem unifies and extends several fixed point theorems for mappings on metric spaces and for mappings on metric spaces endowed with a graph. As an application, we obtain a theorem on the convergence of successive approximations for some linear operators on an arbitrary Banach space. This result yields the well-known Kelisky–Rivlin theorem on iterates of the Bernstein operators on C[0,1].     

On cone metric spaces: A survey

Using an old M. Krein’s result and a result concerning symmetric spaces from [S. Radenovi?, Z. Kadelburg, Quasi-contractions on symmetric and cone symmetric spaces, Banach J. Math. Anal. 5 (1) (2011), 38-50], we show in a very short way that all fixed point results in cone metric spaces obtained recently, in which the assumption that the underlying cone is normal and solid is present, can be reduced to the corresponding results in metric spaces. On the other hand, when we deal with non-normal solid cones, this is not possible. In the recent paper [M.A. Khamsi, Remarks on cone metric spaces and fixed point theorems of contractive mappings, Fixed Point Theory Appl. 2010, 7 pages, Article ID 315398, doi:10.1115/2010/315398] the author claims that most of the cone fixed point results are merely copies of the classical ones and that any extension of known fixed point results to cone metric spaces is redundant; also that underlying Banach space and the associated cone subset are not necessary. In fact, Khamsi’s approach includes a small class of results and is very limited since it requires only normal cones, so that all results with non-normal cones (which are proper extensions of the corresponding results for metric spaces) cannot be dealt with by his approach.

Fixed points of multifunctions on regular cone metric spaces

Each metric space is a regular cone metric space. We shall extend a result about Meir–Keeler type contraction mappings on metric spaces to regular cone metric spaces. Also, we shall give some results about fixed point of weakly uniformly strict p$p$-contraction multifunctions on regular cone metric spaces.     

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.     

Abstract metric spaces and Hardy–Rogers-type theorems

The purpose of the present paper is to establish coincidence point theorem for two mappings and fixed point theorem for one mapping in abstract metric space which satisfy contractive conditions of Hardy–Rogers type. Our results generalize fixed point theorems of Nemytzki [V.V. Nemytzki, Fixed point method in analysis, Uspekhi Mat. Nauk 1 (1936) 141–174], Edelstein [M. Edelstein, On fixed and periodic point under contractive mappings, J. Lond. Math. Soc. 37 (1962) 74–79] and Huang, Zhang [L.G. Huang, X. Zhang, Cone metric spaces and fixed point theorems of contractive mappings, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 332 (2) (2007) 1468–1476] from abstract metric spaces to symmetric spaces (Theorem 2.1) and to metric spaces (Theorem 2.4, Corollary 2.6, Corollary 2.7, Corollary 2.8). Two examples are given to illustrate the usability of our results.     

Common coupled fixed point theorems in cone metric spaces for w-compatible mappings

In this paper we introduce the concept of a w-compatible mappings to obtain coupled coincidence point and coupled point of coincidence for nonlinear contractive mappings in cone metric space with a cone having non-empty interior. Coupled common fixed point theorems for such mappings are also proved. Our results generalize, extend and unify several well known comparable results in the literature. Results are supported by three examples.
