Abstract: | Summary
In this paper we consider several classes of mappings related to the class of contraction mappings by introducing a convexity condition with respect to the iterates of the mappings. Several fixed point theorems are proved for such mappings. Further, in a similar way we consider a related class of mappings satisfying a convexity condition with respect to diameters of bounded sets. In the last part we consider classes of mappings on PM- spaces (probabilistic metric spaces of K. Menger) and some fixed point theorems are given for such classes. |
