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.     

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.     

Viscosity approximation methods for generalized equilibrium problems and fixed point problems

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the problem of finding a common element of the set of solutions of a generalized equilibrium problem (for short, GEP) and the set of fixed points of a nonexpansive mapping in the setting of Hilbert spaces. By using well-known Fan-KKM lemma, we derive the existence and uniqueness of a solution of the auxiliary problem for GEP. On account of this result and Nadler’s theorem, we propose an iterative scheme by the viscosity approximation method for finding a common element of the set of solutions of GEP and the set of fixed points of a nonexpansive mapping. Furthermore, it is proven that the sequences generated by this iterative scheme converge strongly to a common element of the set of solutions of GEP and the set of fixed points of a nonexpansive mapping.     

Convergence of sequences of fuzzy numbers and fixed point theorems for increasing fuzzy mappings and application

In this paper, we discuss some properties of the convergence of sequences of fuzzy numbers and obtain some fixed point theorems for increasing fuzzy mappings. And as applications, we give two examples. One is about fishery production, which discusses the balance problems between the quantity of catching fish and the increase in the quantity of fish that is produced by the reproduction and growth of fish. Another is about the solvability of the equation of fuzzy numbers.     

Fixed point theorems for discontinuous mapping

We prove a generalization of Brouwer's famous fixed point theorem to discontinuous maps. The main result shows that for discontinuous functions on a compact convex domainX one can always find a pointx X such that x–f(x) is less than a certain measure of discontinuity. Applications to artificial neural nets, economic equilibria and analysis are given.     

Fixed point theorems and convergence theorems for some generalized nonexpansive mappings

We introduce some condition on mappings. The condition is weaker than nonexpansiveness and stronger than quasinonexpansiveness. We present fixed point theorems and convergence theorems for mappings satisfying the condition.     

-class algorithms for pseudocontractions and -strict pseudocontractions in Hilbert spaces

In this paper we study iterative algorithms for finding a common element of the set of fixed points of κ-strict pseudocontractions or finding a solution of a variational inequality problem for a monotone, Lipschitz continuous mapping. The last problem being related to finding fixed points of pseudocontractions. These algorithms were already studied in [G.L. Acedo, H.-K. Xu, Iterative methods for strict pseudo-contractions in hilbert spaces, Nonlinear Analysis 67 (2007) 2258–2271] and [N. Nadezhkina, W. Takahashi, Strong convergence theorem by a hybrid method for nonexpansive mappings and lipschitz-continuous monotone mappings, SIAM Journal on Optimization 16 (4) (2006) 1230–1241] but our aim here is to provide the links between these known algorithms and the general framework of -class algorithms studied in [H.H. Bauschke, P.L. Combettes, A weak-to-strong convergence principle for fejér-monotone methods in hilbert spaces, Mathematics of Operations Research 26 (2) (2001) 248–264].     

The fixed point property and unbounded sets in CAT(0) spaces

In this work we study the fixed point property for nonexpansive self-mappings defined on convex and closed subsets of a CAT(0) space. We will show that a positive answer to this problem is very much linked with the Euclidean geometry of the space while the answer is more likely to be negative if the space is more hyperbolic. As a consequence we extend a very well known result of W.O. Ray on Hilbert spaces.     

An example in holomorphic fixed point theory

Fixed point theorems for random pseudo-contractive mappings

Very recently in Fierro et al. (2009) [6], we obtained a general principle to prove the existence of Random Fixed Point Theorems. As a consequence of this, we have been able to obtain various generalizations for pseudo-contractive mappings with rather simple proofs. In addition, while we were deriving these extensions for random operators, some deterministic results arose, which also appear to be new.     

KKM-type theorems for best proximity points

Let us consider two nonempty subsets A,B of a normed linear space X, and let us denote by 2^B the set of all subsets of B. We introduce a new class of multivalued mappings {T:A→2^B}, called R-KKM mappings, which extends the notion of KKM mappings. First, we discuss some sufficient conditions for which the set ∩{T(x):x∈A} is nonempty. Using this nonempty intersection theorem, we attempt to prove a extended version of the Fan-Browder multivalued fixed point theorem, in a normed linear space setting, by providing an existence of a best proximity point.     

On some auxiliary mappings generated by nonexpansive and strictly pseudo-contractive mappings

Starting by a finite family of mappings, we define the concept of procedure with Lipschitzian dependence of the coefficients. We give seven concrete examples of such procedures and prove the strong convergence of two viscosity methods.     

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.     

Edelstein's method and fixed point theorems for some generalized nonexpansive mappings

A new condition for mappings, called condition (C), which is more general than nonexpansiveness, was recently introduced by Suzuki [T. Suzuki, Fixed point theorems and convergence theorems for some generalized nonexpansive mappings, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 340 (2008) 1088-1095]. Following the idea of Kirk and Massa Theorem in [W.A. Kirk, S. Massa, Remarks on asymptotic and Chebyshev centers, Houston J. Math. 16 (1990) 364-375], we prove a fixed point theorem for mappings with condition (C) on a Banach space such that its asymptotic center in a bounded closed and convex subset of each bounded sequence is nonempty and compact. This covers a result obtained by Suzuki [T. Suzuki, Fixed point theorems and convergence theorems for some generalized nonexpansive mappings, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 340 (2008) 1088-1095]. We also present fixed point theorems for this class of mappings defined on weakly compact convex subsets of Banach spaces satisfying property (D). Consequently, we extend the results in [T. Suzuki, Fixed point theorems and convergence theorems for some generalized nonexpansive mappings, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 340 (2008) 1088-1095] to many other Banach spaces.     

A fixed point approach to the stability of isometries

In this paper, we apply a fixed point theorem to the proof of Hyers-Ulam-Rassias stability property for isometries from a normed space into a Banach space, in which the parallelogram law holds.     

On weak compactness and countable weak compactness in fixed point theory

We prove that weak compactness and countable weak compactness in metric spaces are not equivalent. However, if the metric space has normal structure, they are equivalent. It follows that some fixed point theorems proved recently are consequences of a classical theorem of Kirk.

     

Iterative schemes for computing fixed points of nonexpansive mappings in Banach spaces

Let X be a real Banach space with a normalized duality mapping uniformly norm-to-weak^? continuous on bounded sets or a reflexive Banach space which admits a weakly continuous duality mapping JΦ with gauge ?. Let f be an α-contraction and {Tn} a sequence of nonexpansive mappings, we study the strong convergence of explicit iterative schemes

Generalizations of fixed point theorems and computation

As a powerful mechanism, fixed point theorems have many applications in mathematical and economic analysis. In this paper, the well-known Brouwer fixed point theorem and Kakutani fixed point theorem are generalized to a class of nonconvex sets and a globally convergent homotopy method is developed for computing fixed points on this class of nonconvex sets.
