Random fixed point theorems for composites of acyclic multifunctions

In this paper we obtain random versions of Kakutani–Fan type fixed point theorems for a class V _c ⁺ of multifunctions which contains Kakutani factorizable maps and composites of acyclic maps. As applications, we derive some random approximation theorems.     

Random Mann iteration scheme and random fixed point theorems

In this paper, some concepts such as random monotone operators, random Mann iteration and so on in a separable real Banach space are introduced. Also the existence and uniqueness theorems of random fixed points for random monotone operators satisfying Condition(H) are proved.     

Random fixed point theorems for multivalued acyclic random maps

Some random fixed point theorems for acyclic valued random operators are proved. The class of acyclic – valued random operators includes convex – valued and star – shaped – valued random operators. This leads to the discovery of some new results     

Random fixed point theorems for Caristi type random operators

We iteratively generate a sequence of measurable mappings and study necessary conditions for its convergence to a random fixed point of random nonexpansive operator. A random fixed point theorem for random nonexpansive operator, relaxing the convexity condition on the underlying space, is also proved. As an application, we obtained random fixed point theorems for Caristi type random operators.     

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.     

Some generalizations of fixed point theorems and common fixed point theorems

We present some fixed point theorems and common fixed point theorems which generalize and unify previous known results.     

Kuratowski's and Wagner's theorems for matroids

In an earlier paper we proved the following theorem, which provides a strengthening of Tutte's well-known characterization of regular (totally unimodular) matroids: A binary matroid is regular if it does not have the Fano matroid or its dual as a series-minor (parallel-minor). In this paper we prove two theorems (Theorems 5.1 and 6.1) which provide the same kind of strengthening for Tutte's characterization of the graphic matroids (i.e., bond-matroids). One interesting aspect of these theorems is the introduction of the matroids of “type R”. It turns out that these matroids are, in at least two different senses, the smallest regular matroids which are neither graphic nor cographic (Theorems 6.2 and 6.3).

Random fixed point theorems for a certain class of mappings in banach spaces

Let (, ) be a measurable space and C a nonempty bounded closed convex separable subset of p-uniformly convex Banach space E for some p > 1. We prove random fixed point theorems for a class of mappings T: × C C satisfying: for each x, y C, and integer n 1,

Generalized KKM theorems and common fixed point theorems

In this paper, we first prove a generalized KKM theorem, and then use this generalized KKM theorem to establish the generalized equi-KKM theorem, common fixed point theorems for a family of multivalued maps, and the Kakutani-Fan-Glicksberg fixed point theorem. We also show that an existence theorem of the common fixed point theorem is equivalent to the Kakutani-Fan-Glicksberg fixed point theorem.     

Bead spaces and fixed point theorems

The notion of a bead metric space defined here (see Definition 6) is a nice generalization of that of the uniformly convex normed space. In turn, the idea of a central point for a mapping when combined with the “single central point” property of the bead spaces enables us to obtain strong and elegant extensions of the Browder-Göhde-Kirk fixed point theorem for nonexpansive mappings (see Theorems 14-17). Their proofs are based on a very simple reasoning. We also prove two theorems on continuous selections for metric and Hilbert spaces. They are followed by fixed point theorems of Schauder type. In the final part we obtain a result on nonempty intersection.     

On fixed point theorems and nonsensitivity

Sensitivity is a prominent aspect of chaotic behavior of a dynamical system. We study the relevance of nonsensitivity to fixed point theory in affine dynamical systems. We prove a fixed point theorem which extends Ryll-Nardzewski??s theorem and some of its generalizations. Using the theory of hereditarily nonsensitive dynamical systems we establish left amenability of Asp(G), the algebra of Asplund functions on a topological group G (which contains the algebra WAP(G) of weakly almost periodic functions). We note that, in contrast to WAP(G) where the invariant mean is unique, for some groups (including the integers) there are uncountably many invariant means on Asp(G). Finally, we observe that dynamical systems in the larger class of tame G-systems need not admit an invariant probability measure, and the algebra Tame(G) is not left amenable.     

Fuzzy mappings and fixed point theorems

We extend Heilpern's fixed point theorem for fuzzy contraction mappings to a pair of generalized fuzzy contraction mappings. Also we prove a fixed point theorem for nonexpansive fuzzy mappings on a compact star-shaped subset of a Banach space.     

Chebyshev centers and fixed point theorems

Brodskii and Milman proved that there is a point in C(K)$C(K)$, the set of all Chebyshev centers of K, which is fixed by every surjective isometry from K into K whenever K   is a nonempty weakly compact convex subset having normal structure in a Banach space. Motivated by this result, Lim et al. raised the following question namely “does there exist a point in C(K)$C(K)$ which is fixed by every isometry from K into K?”. In fact, Lim et al. proved that “if K is a nonempty weakly compact convex subset of a uniformly convex Banach space, then the Chebyshev center of K is fixed by every isometry T from K into K”. In this paper, we prove that if K   is a nonempty weakly compact convex set having normal structure in a strictly convex Banach space and F$\mathfrak{F}$ is a commuting family of isometry mappings on K   then there exists a point in C(K)$C(K)$ which is fixed by every mapping in F$\mathfrak{F}$.
