A note on fixed point sets in CAT(0) spaces

We show that the fixed point set of a quasi-nonexpansive selfmap of a nonempty convex subset of a CAT(0) space is always closed, convex and contractible. Moreover, we give a construction of a continuous selfmap of a CAT(0) space whose fixed point set is prescribed.     

Invariant approximations for commuting mappings in CAT(0) and hyperconvex spaces

In this paper, for a commuting pair consisting of a point-valued nonexpansive self-mapping t and a set-valued nonexpansive self-mapping T of a hyperconvex metric space (or a CAT(0) space) X, we look for a solution to the problem of existence of z∈E⊂X such that

     

Uniformly nonsquare Banach spaces have the fixed point property for nonexpansive mappings

It is shown that if the modulus Γ_X of nearly uniform smoothness of a reflexive Banach space satisfies , then every bounded closed convex subset of X has the fixed point property for nonexpansive mappings. In particular, uniformly nonsquare Banach spaces have this property since they are properly included in this class of spaces. This answers a long-standing question in the theory.     

Fixed Point Theorems for Mean Nonexpansive Mappings in CAT(0) Spaces

In this article, we prove the existence of fixed points and the demiclosed principle for mean nonexpansive mappings in Cartan, Alexandrov and Toponogov(0) spaces. We also obtain a Δ-convergence theorem and a strong convergence theorem of Ishikawa iteration for mean nonexpansive mappings in Cartan, Alexandrov and Toponogov(0) spaces.     

Invariant approximations in CAT(0) spaces

Some common fixed point and invariant approximation results for CAT(0) spaces are obtained. Our results improve and extend some results of Shahzad and Markin [N. Shahzad, J. Markin, Invariant approximation for commuting mappings in hyperconvex and CAT(0) spaces, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 337 (2008) 1457–1464] and Dhompongsa, Kaewkhao, and Panyanak [S. Dhompongsa, A. Kaewkhao, B. Panyanak, Lim’s theorem for multivalued mappings in CAT(0) spaces, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 312 (2005) 478–487].     

Strong convergence theorem of an iterative method for variational inequalities and fixed point problems in Hilbert spaces

In this paper, we introduce a new iteration method based on the hybrid method in mathematical programming and the descent-like method for finding a common element of the set of solutions for a variational inequality and the set of fixed points for a nonexpansive mapping in Hilbert spaces. Our method modifies and improves some methods in literature.     

Convergence Theorems for Non-Self Mappings in CAT(0) Spaces

In this paper, we prove strong convergence of Mann iterative schemes to fixed points of multi-valued demicontractive non-self mappings in complete CAT(0) spaces under appropriate conditions. In addition, △? convergence or strong convergence of Mann iterative scheme to a fixed point of single-valued k-strictly pseudocontractive non-self mapping is obtained. Our theorems improve and unify most of the results in the literature.     

The fixed point property for mappings admitting a center

We introduce a class of nonlinear continuous mappings in Banach spaces which allow us to characterize the Banach spaces without noncompact flat parts in their spheres as those that have the fixed point property for this type of mapping. Later on, we give an application to the existence of zeroes for certain kinds of accretive operators.     

Proximal point algorithm for nonlinear multivalued type mappings in Hadamard spaces

In this paper, we modify the proximal point algorithm for finding common fixed points in CAT(0) spaces for nonlinear multivalued mappings and a minimizer of a convex function and prove Δ‐convergence of the proposed algorithm. A numerical example is presented to illustrate the convergence result. Our results improve and extend the corresponding results in the literature.     

A quadratic rate of asymptotic regularity for CAT(0)-spaces

In this paper we obtain a quadratic bound on the rate of asymptotic regularity for the Krasnoselski-Mann iterations of nonexpansive mappings in CAT(0)-spaces, whereas previous results guarantee only exponential bounds. The method we use is to extend to the more general setting of uniformly convex hyperbolic spaces a quantitative version of a strengthening of Groetsch's theorem obtained by Kohlenbach using methods from mathematical logic (so-called “proof mining”).     

Viscosity Iteration in CAT(κ) Spaces

We study the approximation of fixed points of nonexpansive mappings in CAT(κ) spaces. We show that the iterative sequence generated by the Moudafi's viscosity type algorithm converges to one of the fixed points of the nonexpansive mapping depending on the contraction applied in the algorithm.     

Geodesic Ptolemy spaces and fixed points

In this paper we study the regularity of geodesic Ptolemy spaces and apply our findings to metric fixed point theory. It is an open question whether such spaces with a continuous midpoint map are CAT(0) spaces. We prove that if a certain uniform continuity is imposed on such a midpoint map then these spaces, if complete, are reflexive (that is, the intersection of decreasing families of bounded closed and convex subsets is nonempty) and that bounded sequences have unique asymptotic centers. These properties will then be applied to yield a series of fixed point results specific to CAT(0) spaces.     

Compatible mappings of type (B) and common fixed point theorems in Saks spaces

In this paper we first introduce the concept of compatible mappings of type (B) and compare these mappings with compatible mappings and compatible mappings of type (A) in Saks spaces. In the sequel, we derive some relations between these mappings. Secondly, we prove a coincidence point theorem and common fixed point theorem for compatible mappings of type (B) in Saks spaces.     

Some geometric properties in modular spaces and application to fixed point theory

We prove that modular spaces L_ρ have the uniform Kadec-Klee property w.r.t. the convergence ρ-a.e. when they are endowed with the Luxemburg norm. We also prove that these spaces have the uniform Opial condition w.r.t. the convergence ρ-a.e. for both the Luxemburg norm and the Amemiya norm. Some assumptions over the modular ρ need to be assumed. The above geometric properties will enable us to obtain some fixed point results in modular spaces for different kind of mappings.     

Common fixed points of a nonexpansive semigroup and a convergence theorem for Mann iterations in geodesic metric spaces

First, we consider a strongly continuous semigroup of nonexpansive mappings defined on a closed convex subset of a complete CAT(0) space and prove a convergence of a Mann iteration to a common fixed point of the mappings. This result is motivated by a result of Kirk (2002) and of Suzuki (2002). Second, we obtain a result on limits of subsequences of Mann iterations of multivalued nonexpansive mappings on metric spaces of hyperbolic type, which leads to a convergence theorem for nonexpansive mappings on these spaces.     

The Schauder fixed point theorem in geodesic spaces

We give a direct proof of Schauder's fixed point theorem in the setting of geodesic metric spaces, generalizing the classical Schauder's theorem and improving a recent version of this theorem in CAT(κ)$\mathrm{CAT}(\kappa )$ spaces. As an application we prove an existence result for a variational inequality in the setting of CAT(κ)$\mathrm{CAT}(\kappa )$ spaces.     

Cocompact CAT(0) spaces are almost geodesically complete

We prove that, under mild conditions, a cocompact CAT(0) space is almost geodesically complete.     

Common fixed point results in CAT(0) spaces

Let X be a complete CAT(0) space, T be a generalized multivalued nonexpansive mapping, and t be a single valued quasi-nonexpansive mapping. Under the assumption that T and t commute weakly, we shall prove the existence of a common fixed point for them. In this way, we extend and improve a number of recent results obtained by Shahzad (2009) [7] and [12], Shahzad and Markin (2008) [6], and Dhompongsa et al. (2005) [5].
