Global attractivity results for nonlinear functional integral equations via a Krasnoselskii type fixed point theorem

In this paper, two results concerning the global attractivity and global asymptotic attractivity of the solutions for a nonlinear functional integral equation are proved via a variant of the Krasnoselskii fixed point theorem due to Dhage [B.C. Dhage, A fixed point theorem in Banach algebras with applications to functional integral equations, Kyungpook Math. J. 44 (2004) 145–155]. The investigations are placed in the Banach space of real functions defined, continuous and bounded on an unbounded interval. A couple of examples are indicated for demonstrating the natural realizations of the abstract results presented in the paper. Our results generalize the attractivity results of Banas and Rzepka [J. Banas, B. Rzepka, An application of measures of noncompactness in the study of asymptotic stability, Appl. Math. Lett. 16 (2003) 1–6] and Banas and Dhage [J. Banas, B.C. Dhage, Global asymptotic stability of solutions of a functional integral equations, Nonlinear Anal. (2007), doi:10.1016/j.na.2007.07.038], under weaker conditions with a different method.     

On global existence and attractivity results for nonlinear functional integral equations

In this paper two existence results concerning the global attractivity and global asymptotic attractivity for a certain functional nonlinear integral equation are proved. Our existence results include several existence as well as attractivity results obtained earlier by Banas and Dhage (2008) [1], Hu and Yan (2006) [3], Dhage (2009) [15] and Banas and Rzepka (2003) [7] as special cases under some weaker Lipschitz conditions. A measure theoretic fixed point theorem of Dhage (2008) [6] is used in formulating our main results and the characterizations of solutions are obtained in the space of functions defined, continuous and bounded on unbounded intervals.     

Approximating solutions of nonlinear hybrid differential equations

We prove the existence as well as approximations of the solutions of initial value problems of first order ordinary nonlinear hybrid differential equations. We rely our results on a recent hybrid fixed point theorem of Dhage (2014) in partially ordered normed linear spaces. A realization is also indicated to illustrate the abstract theory developed in the paper.     

On a fixed point theorem in Banach algebras with applications

In this article it is shown that some of the hypotheses of a fixed point theorem of the present author [B.C. Dhage, On some variants of Schauder’s fixed point principle and applications to nonlinear integral equations, J. Math. Phys. Sci. 25 (1988) 603–611] involving two operators in a Banach algebra are redundant. Our claim is also illustrated with the applications to some nonlinear functional integral equations for proving the existence results.     

A fixed point theorem for multi-valued mappings and its applications to integral inclusions

In this paper we prove an existence theorem for the common solutions for a pair of integral inclusions via a common fixed point theorem of Dhage et al. [B.C. Dhage, D. O’Regan, R.P. Agarwal, Common fixed point theorems for a pair of countably condensing mappings in ordered Banach spaces, J. Appl. Math. Stoch. Anal. 16 (3) (2003) 243–248].     

Fixed point theorems for generalized contractions in ordered metric spaces

The purpose of this paper is to present some fixed point results for self-generalized contractions in ordered metric spaces. Our results generalize and extend some recent results of A.C.M. Ran, M.C. Reurings [A.C.M. Ran, M.C. Reurings, A fixed point theorem in partially ordered sets and some applications to matrix equations, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 132 (2004) 1435-1443], J.J. Nieto, R. Rodríguez-López [J.J. Nieto, R. Rodríguez-López, Contractive mapping theorems in partially ordered sets and applications to ordinary differential equations, Order 22 (2005) 223-239; J.J. Nieto, R. Rodríguez-López, Existence and uniqueness of fixed points in partially ordered sets and applications to ordinary differential equations, Acta Math. Sin. (Engl. Ser.) 23 (2007) 2205-2212], J.J. Nieto, R.L. Pouso, R. Rodríguez-López [J.J. Nieto, R.L. Pouso, R. Rodríguez-López, Fixed point theorem theorems in ordered abstract sets, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 135 (2007) 2505-2517], A. Petru?el, I.A. Rus [A. Petru?el, I.A. Rus, Fixed point theorems in ordered L-spaces, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 134 (2006) 411-418] and R.P. Agarwal, M.A. El-Gebeily, D. O'Regan [R.P. Agarwal, M.A. El-Gebeily, D. O'Regan, Generalized contractions in partially ordered metric spaces, Appl. Anal., in press]. As applications, existence and uniqueness results for Fredholm and Volterra type integral equations are given.     

Schaefer type theorem and periodic solutions of evolution equations

Two fixed point theorems for the sum of contractive and compact operators are obtained in this paper, which generalize and improve the corresponding results in [H. Schaefer, Über die methode der a priori-Schranken, Math. Ann. 129 (1955) 415-416; T.A. Burton, Integral equations, implicit functions and fixed points, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 124 (1996) 2383-2390; V.I. Istrǎtescu, Fixed Point Theory, an Introduction, Reidel, Dordrecht, 1981; T.A. Burton, K. Colleen, A fixed point theorem of Krasnoselskii-Schaefer type, Math. Nachr. 189 (1998) 23-31; D.R. Smart, Fixed Point Theorems, Cambridge Univ. Press, Cambridge, 1980]. As the applications for the results, we obtain the existence of periodic solutions for some evolution equations with delay, which extend the corresponding results in [T.A. Burton, B. Zhang, Periodic solutions of abstract differential equations with infinite delay, J. Differential Equations 90 (1991) 357-396].     

Monotone generalized contractions in partially ordered probabilistic metric spaces

In this paper, a concept of monotone generalized contraction in partially ordered probabilistic metric spaces is introduced and some fixed and common fixed point theorems are proved. Presented theorems extend the results in partially ordered metric spaces of Nieto and Rodriguez-Lopez [Contractive mapping theorems in partially ordered sets and applications to ordinary differential equations, Order 22 (2005) 223-239; Existence and uniqueness of fixed point in partially ordered sets and applications to ordinary differential equations, Acta Math. Sin. (Engl. Ser.) 23 (2007) 2205-2212], Ran and Reurings [A fixed point theorem in partially ordered sets and some applications to matrix equations, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 132 (2004) 1435-1443] to a more general class of contractive type mappings in partially ordered probabilistic metric spaces and include several recent developments.     

Dhage iteration method for initial value problems for nonlinear first order hybrid integrodifferential equations

In this paper, we prove algorithms for the existence as well as the approximation of solutions to initial value problems (IVPs) for nonlinear first order ordinary integrodifferential equations using operator theoretic techniques in a partially ordered metric space. The main results rely on the Dhage iteration method embodied in the recent hybrid fixed point theorems of Dhage in a partially ordered normed linear space. The approximations to the solutions are obtained under weaker mixed partial continuity and Lipschitz conditions. The hypotheses and results are also illustrated by some examples.     

Fixed point theorems in partially ordered Banach spaces with applications to nonlinear fractional evolution equations

In this paper, a notion of partially Hausdorff measure of noncompactness in partially ordered Banach spaces is introduced, and some Krasnoselskii-type fixed point theorems under certain mixed conditions are proved. Some applications of the obtained fixed point theorems are given to a class of fractional hybrid evolution equations for proving the existence of mild solutions under certain monotonicity conditions. At the end, an example of the fractional parabolic equation is given to illustrate the abstract results.     

Common fixed point results for two new classes of hybrid pairs in symmetric spaces

Some common fixed point theorems due to Abbas and Khan [M. Abbas, A.R. Khan, Common fixed points of generalized contractive hybrid pairs in symmetric spaces, Fixed Point Theor. Appl. 2009 (2009) 11, Article ID 869407, doi:10.1155/2009/869407], and Abbas and Rhoades [M. Abbas, B.E. Rhoades, Common fixed point theorems for hybrid pairs of occasionally weakly compatible mappings defined on symmetric spaces, Pan. Amer. Math. J. 18 (1) (2008) 55-62] are proved for two new classes of hybrid pair of mappings which contain occasionally weakly compatible hybrid pairs as a proper subclass. Consequently, some results proved by Hussain et al. [N. Hussain, M.A. Khamsi, A. Latif, Common fixed points for JH-operators and occasionally weakly biased pairs under relaxed conditions, Nonlinear Anal. 74 (2011) 2133-2140], Bhatt et al. [A. Bhatt, et al., Common fixed point theorems for occasionally weakly compatible mappings under relaxed conditions, Nonlinear Anal. 73 (2010) 176-182] and many others are extended to hybrid pair of mappings. Examples are also presented to support the concepts defined in the paper.     

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.     

Suzuki?s type characterizations of completeness for partial metric spaces and fixed points for partially ordered metric spaces

Recently, Suzuki [T. Suzuki, A generalized Banach contraction principle that characterizes metric completeness, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 136 (2008) 1861-1869] proved a fixed point theorem that is a generalization of the Banach contraction principle and characterizes the metric completeness. In this paper we prove an analogous fixed point result for a self-mapping on a partial metric space or on a partially ordered metric space. Our results on partially ordered metric spaces generalize and extend some recent results of Ran and Reurings [A.C.M. Ran, M.C. Reurings, A fixed point theorem in partially ordered sets and some applications to matrix equations, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 132 (2004) 1435-1443], Nieto and Rodríguez-López [J.J. Nieto, R. Rodríguez-López, Contractive mapping theorems in partially ordered sets and applications to ordinary differential equations, Order 22 (2005) 223-239]. We deduce, also, common fixed point results for two self-mappings. Moreover, using our results, we obtain a characterization of partial metric 0-completeness in terms of fixed point theory. This result extends Suzuki?s characterization of metric completeness.     

Extremal solutions of Cauchy problems for abstract fractional differential equations

In this paper, we study the extremal solutions of Cauchy problems for abstract fractional differential equations. Some definitions such as L ¹-Lipschitz-like, L ¹-Carathéodory-like and L ¹-Chandrabhan-like are introduced. By virtue of the singular integral inequalities with several nonlinearities due to Medved’, the properties of solutions are given. By using a hybrid fixed point theorem due to Dhage, existence results for extremal solutions are established. Finally, we present an example to illustrate our main results.     

A NONLOCAL HYBRID BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEM OF CAPUTO FRACTIONAL INTEGRO-DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

In this paper,we discuss the existence of solutions for a nonlocal hybrid boundary value problem of Caputo fractional integro-differential equations.Our main result is based on a hybrid fixed point theorem for a sum of three operators due to Dhage,and is well illustrated with the aid of an example.     

Existence of partially regular weak solutions to Landau-Lifshitz-Maxwell equations

In this paper, the authors establish the existence of partially regular weak solutions to the Landau-Lifshitz equations coupling with static Maxwell systems in 3 dimensions by Ginzburg-Landau approximation. It is proved that the Hausdorff measure of the singular set is locally finite. This extends the similar results of Ding and Guo [S. Ding, B. Guo, Hausdorff measure of the singular set of Landau-Lifshitz equations with a nonlocal term, Comm. Math. Phys. 250 (1) (2004) 95-117] from the stationary solutions to weak solutions and the results of Wang [C. Wang, On Landau-Lifshitz equations in dimensions at most four, Indiana Univ. Math. J. 55 (5) (2006) 1615-1644] from Landau-Lifshitz equations to Landau-Lifshitz-Maxwell equations.     

Common fixed point theorems for maps under a contractive condition of integral type

Two common fixed point theorems for mapping of complete metric space under a general contractive inequality of integral type and satisfying minimal commutativity conditions are proved. These results extend and improve several previous results, particularly Theorem 4 of Rhoades [B.E. Rhoades, Two fixed point theorems for mappings satisfying a general contractive condition of integral type, Int. J. Math. Math. Sci. 63 (2003) 4007-4013] and Theorem 4 of Sessa [S. Sessa, On a weak commutativity condition of mappings in fixed point considerations, Publ. Inst. Math. (Beograd) (N.S.) 32 (46) (1982) 149-153].     

Dhage iterative principle for quadratic perturbation of fractional boundary value problems with finite delay

In this article, by employing Dhage iterative method embodied in current hybrid fixed point theorem (HFPT) of Dhage, we derive an algorithm for the numerical solutions via construction of a sequence of successive approximations for a fractional order boundary value problem (FBVP) with finite delay. By using this technique, we obtain existence as well as approximation of solutions under weaker partial Lipschitz and partial compactness type conditions in a partially ordered Banach space. Additionally, we prove an existence and uniqueness theorem under a weaker partial nonlinear Lipschitz condition. The assumptions and main outcomes are also illustrated by two examples.     

Common fixed points in best approximation for Banach operator pairs with ?iri? type I-contractions

The common fixed point theorems, similar to those of ?iri? [Lj.B. ?iri?, On a common fixed point theorem of a Gregus type, Publ. Inst. Math. (Beograd) (N.S.) 49 (1991) 174-178; Lj.B. ?iri?, On Diviccaro, Fisher and Sessa open questions, Arch. Math. (Brno) 29 (1993) 145-152; Lj.B. ?iri?, On a generalization of Gregus fixed point theorem, Czechoslovak Math. J. 50 (2000) 449-458], Fisher and Sessa [B. Fisher, S. Sessa, On a fixed point theorem of Gregus, Internat. J. Math. Math. Sci. 9 (1986) 23-28], Jungck [G. Jungck, On a fixed point theorem of Fisher and Sessa, Internat. J. Math. Math. Sci. 13 (1990) 497-500] and Mukherjee and Verma [R.N. Mukherjee, V. Verma, A note on fixed point theorem of Gregus, Math. Japon. 33 (1988) 745-749], are proved for a Banach operator pair. As applications, common fixed point and approximation results for Banach operator pair satisfying ?iri? type contractive conditions are obtained without the assumption of linearity or affinity of either T or I. Our results unify and generalize various known results to a more general class of noncommuting mappings.
