New existence theorems for quasi-equilibrium problems and a minimax theorem on complete metric spaces

Motivated by the Suzuki’s type fixed point theorems, we give several new existence theorems for scalar quasi-equilibrium problems, and vector quasi-equilibrium problem on complete metric spaces. We give important examples for our results. Note that the solution of quasi-equilibrium problem (resp. vector quasi-equilibrium problem) is unique under suitable conditions, and we can find the unique solution by the Picard iteration. Besides, we also give a new coincidence theorem on complete metric spaces. Finally, we give a new minimax theorem on complete metric spaces. Note that the solution of minimax theorem is unique under suitable conditions, and we can find the unique solution by the Picard iteration.     

Generalized vector quasi-equilibrium problems with applications to common fixed point theorems and optimization problems

In this paper, we first establish the existence theorems of generalized vector quasi-equilibrium problems. From these results, we establish the existence theorems of common fixed point theorems for two multivalued maps and mathematical programs with an equilibrium constraint as applications.     

Three fixed point theorems for generalized contractions with constants in complete metric spaces

We prove three fixed point theorems for generalized contractions with constants in complete metric spaces, which are generalizations of very recent fixed point theorems due to Suzuki. We also raise one problem concerning the constants.     

Multidimensional fixed point theorems in partially ordered complete metric spaces

In this paper we propose a notion of coincidence point between mappings in any number of variables and we prove some existence and uniqueness fixed point theorems for nonlinear mappings verifying different kinds of contractive conditions and defined on partially ordered metric spaces. These theorems extend and clarify very recent results that can be found in [T. Gnana-Bhaskar, V. Lakshmikantham, Fixed point theorems in partially ordered metric spaces and applications, Nonlinear Anal. 65 (7)(2006) 1379–1393], [V. Berinde, M. Borcut, Tripled fixed point theorems for contractive type mappings in partially ordered metric spaces, Nonlinear Anal. 74 (2011) 4889–4897] and [M. Berzig, B. Samet, An extension of coupled fixed point’s concept in higher dimension and applications, Comput. Math. Appl. 63 (8) (2012) 1319–1334].     

Some fixed point theorems for weakly T-Chatterjea and weakly T-Kannan-contractive mappings in complete metric spaces

In this work we introduce the notions of generalized weakly T-Chatterjea-contractive and generalized weakly T-Kannan-contractive maps. For these classes of maps we obtain sufficient conditions for the existence of a unique fixed point in a complete metric space.     

Edelstein-Suzuki-type fixed point results in metric and abstract metric spaces

Generalizations of the Edelstein-Suzuki theorem [T. Suzuki, A new type of fixed point theorem in metric spaces, Nonlinear Anal. TMA 71 (2009), 5313-5317], including versions of the Kannan, Chatterjea and Hardy-Rogers-type fixed point results for compact metric spaces, are proved. Also, abstract metric versions of these results are obtained. Examples are presented to distinguish our results from the existing ones.     

A fixed point theorem in metric spaces

We discuss a fixed point theorem for a function f mapping a complete metric space X into itself. For all x ? X{x \in X} the iterates of f(x) are shown to converge to x_* = f(x_*){{x_{\star} = f(x_{\star})}} and an explicit estimate of the convergence rate is given.     

Existence and uniqueness of fixed points for mixed monotone operators with applications

In this paper, we study the uniqueness and existence of fixed points of mixed monotone operators in the partially ordered Banach space. Our conclusions essentially improve the relevant results obtained by Liang and others. Moreover, as an application of our results, we prove the existence and uniqueness of a positive solution for a class of integral equations which cannot be solved by using previously available methods.     

Coincidence and common fixed point results on metric spaces endowed with an arbitrary binary relation and applications

In this paper, we establish coincidence and common fixed point theorems for contractive mappings on a metric space endowed with an amorphous binary relation. The presented theorems extend the results of Samet and Turinici in [Commun. Math. Anal. 12 (2012), 82– 97] and generalize many existing results on metric and ordered metric spaces. We apply also our main results to derive coincidence and common fixed point theorems for cyclic contractive mappings.     

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]      

On variational inclusion and common fixed point problems in Hilbert spaces with applications

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a general iterative method for finding a common element of the solution set of quasi-variational inclusion problems and of the common fixed point set of an infinite family of nonexpansive mappings in the framework Hilbert spaces. Strong convergence of the sequences generated by the purposed iterative scheme is obtained.     

Fixed point and common fixed point theorems on ordered cone metric spaces

In the present work, some fixed point and common fixed point theorems for self-maps on ordered cone metric spaces, where the cone is not necessarily normal, are proved.     

Existence and uniqueness of best proximity points in geodesic metric spaces

A mapping T:A∪B→A∪B such that T(A)⊆B and T(B)⊆A is called a cyclic mapping. A best proximity point x for such a mapping T is a point such that d(x,Tx)= dist(A,B). In this work we provide different existence and uniqueness results of best proximity points in both Banach and geodesic metric spaces. We improve and extend some results on this recent theory and give an affirmative partial answer to a recently posed question by Eldred and Veeramani in [A.A. Eldred, P. Veeramani Existence and convergence of best proximity points, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 323 (2) (2006) 1001-1006].     

New common fixed point theorems for maps on cone metric spaces

In this paper, we study the uniqueness and existence of a common fixed point for a pair of mappings in cone metric space. The results extend and improve recent related results.     

Coupled fixed point theorems in cone metric spaces

In this paper, by considering two metrics, we obtain some coupled fixed point theorems in cone metric spaces by assuming that the cone has nonempty interior as well as employing a number of contractive-type conditions. Our results generalize and extend some recently announced results in the literature.     

Average dimension of fixed point spaces with applications

Let G be a finite group, F a field, and V a finite dimensional FG-module such that G has no trivial composition factor on V. Then the arithmetic average dimension of the fixed point spaces of elements of G on V is at most where p is the smallest prime divisor of the order of G. This answers and generalizes a 1966 conjecture of Neumann which also appeared in a paper of Neumann and Vaughan-Lee and also as a problem in The Kourovka Notebook posted by Vaughan-Lee. Our result also generalizes a recent theorem of Isaacs, Keller, Meierfrankenfeld, and Moretó. We also classify precisely when equality can occur. Various applications are given. For example, another conjecture of Neumann and Vaughan-Lee is proven and some results of Segal and Shalev are improved and/or generalized concerning BFC groups.     

Some fixed point theorems in convex metric spaces

The concept of a convex metric space was introduced by Takahashi [10]. He observed that it is possible to generalize fixed point theorems in Banach spaces. Subsequently, Machado [8], Itoh [5], Naimpally, Singh and Whitfield [9] and Beg and Azam [2], among others have studied fixed point theorems in convex metric spaces. This paper is a continuation of these investigations.
