Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Fixed point theory arose from the Banach contraction principle and has been studied for a long time. Its application mostly relies on the existence of solutions to mathematical problems that are formulated from economics and engineering. After the existence of the solutions is guaranteed, the numerical methodology will be established to obtain the approximated solution. Fixed points of function depend heavily on the considered spaces that are defined using the intuitive axioms. In particular, variant metrics spaces are proposed, like a partial metric space, b-metric space, fuzzy metric space and probabilistic metric space, etc. Different spaces will result in different types of fixed point theorems. In other words, there are a lot of different types of fixed point theorems in the literature. Therefore, this Special Issue welcomes survey articles. Articles that unify the different types of fixed point theorems are also very welcome. The topics of this Special Issue include:

  • fixed point theorems in metric space
  • fixed point theorems in fuzzy metric space
  • fixed point theorems in probabilistic metric space
  • fixed point theorems of set-valued functions in various spaces
  • the existence of solutions in game theory
  • the existence of solutions for equilibrium problems
  • the existence of solutions of differential equations
  • the existence of solutions of integral equations
  • numerical methods for obtaining the approximated fixed points

The concept of informal vector space is introduced in this paper. In informal vector space, the additive inverse element does not necessarily exist. The reason is that an element in informal vector space which subtracts itself cannot be a zero element. An informal vector space can also be endowed with a metric to define a so-called informal metric space. The completeness of informal metric space can be defined according to the similar concept of a Cauchy sequence. A new concept of fixed point and the related results are studied in informal complete metric space. Full article

In [Fixed Point Theory Appl., 2015 (2015):185], the authors introduced a new concept of modified contractive mappings, generalizing Ćirić, Chatterjea, Kannan, and Reich type contractions. They applied the condition ( θ 4 ) (see page 3, Section 2 of the above paper). Later, in [Fixed Point Theory Appl., 2016 (2016):62], Jiang et al. claimed that the results in [Fixed Point Theory Appl., 2015 (2015):185] are not real generalizations. In this paper, by restricting the conditions of the control functions, we obtain a real generalization of the Banach contraction principle (BCP). At the end, we introduce a weakly JS-contractive condition generalizing the JS-contractive condition. Full article

We first provide a best proximity point result for quasi-noncyclic relatively nonexpansive mappings in the setting of dualistic partial metric spaces. Then, those spaces will be endowed with convexity and a result for a cyclic mapping will be obtained. Afterwards, we prove a best proximity point result for tricyclic mappings in the framework of the newly introduced extended partial S b -metric spaces. In this way, we obtain extensions of some results in the literature. Full article

In this paper, we prove that on any contact manifold ( M , ξ ) there exists an arbitrary C -small contactomorphism which does not admit a square root. In particular, there exists an arbitrary C -small contactomorphism which is not “autonomous”. This paper is the first step to study the topology of C o n t 0 ( M , ξ ) Aut ( M , ξ ) . As an application, we also prove a similar result for the diffeomorphism group Diff ( M ) for any smooth manifold M. Full article
