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.     

A generalization of Browder’s fixed point theorem with applications

In this paper, the concept of c$c$-compact mapping is introduced. A generalization of Browder’s fixed point theorem and some equivalence forms are given. As applications, the existence of solutions for some variational inequalities and monotone operator equations is discussed.     

Some new results and generalizations in metric fixed point theory

The main purpose of this paper is the study of the generalization of some results given in [M. Berinde, V. Berinde, On a general class of multi-valued weakly Picard mappings, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 326 (2007) 772-782] and references therein. Some generalizations of the Mizoguchi-Takahashi fixed point theorem, Kannan’s fixed point theorems and Chatterjea’s fixed point theorems are established by using our new fixed point theorems.     

The fixed point index for compact absorbing contractive admissible maps

An index theory is presented for compact (and more generally compact absorbing contractive) Ads (and more generally Ad) maps.     

Extension of Caristi’s fixed point theorem to vector valued metric spaces

The paper deals with the classical Caristi fixed point theorem in vector valued metric spaces. The results obtained seem to be new in this setting.     

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.     

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.     

Random and deterministic fixed point theory for generalized contractive maps

Fixed point and homotopy results are presented for generalized contractions on complete gauge spaces. In addition we obtain random fixed point results for generalized contractions.     

Fractional equations and generalizations of Schaefer’s and Krasnoselskii’s fixed point theorems

We study a fractional differential equation of Caputo type by first transforming it into an integral equation with an L¹[0,∞)$L^1[0,\infty )$ kernel and then applying fixed point theory of Banach and Schauder type using a weighted norm to avoid stringent compactness conditions. It becomes clear that tedious construction of mapping sets and boundedness conditions can be avoided if we use fixed point theorems of Schaefer and Krasnoselskii type. The weighted norm then produces open sets so large that it is difficult to show that mappings are compact. This then leads us to generalize both Schaefer’s and Krasnoselskii’s fixed point theorems which yield simple and direct qualitative results for the fractional differential equations. The weight, g$g$, yields compactness, but it does much more. The generalized fixed point theorems now yield growth properties of the solutions of the fractional differential equations.     

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.     

A generalization of the cone expansion and compression fixed point theorem and applications

The classical Krasnosel’skii fixed point theorem concerning cone compression and expansion of norm type is extended; in it the norm is replaced with some convex functional. As an application, the existence of positive solutions for the singular second-order m$m$-point boundary value problem is considered.     

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.     

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.     

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.     

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.     

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.     

Elliptic problems with lack of compactness via a new fixed point theorem

This paper provides a new fixed point theorem for increasing self-mappings G:B→B of a closed ball B⊂X, where X is a Banach semilattice which is reflexive or has a weakly fully regular order cone X₊. By means of this fixed point theorem, we are able to establish existence results of elliptic problems with lack of compactness.     

On fixed point theorems of mixed monotone operators and applications

In this paper, we obtain some new existence and uniqueness theorems of positive fixed point of mixed monotone operators in Banach spaces partially ordered by a cone. Finally we apply the main theorem to a nonlinear parabolic partial differential equation. Some results are new even for increasing or decreasing operators.     

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.
