The present paper investigates digital topological properties of an alignment of fixed point sets which can play an important role in fixed point theory from the viewpoints of computational or digital topology. In digital topology-based fixed point theory, for a digital image ( X , k ) , let F ( X ) be the set of cardinalities of the fixed point sets of all k-continuous self-maps of ( X , k ) (see Definition 4). In this paper we call it an alignment of fixed point sets of ( X , k ) . Then we have the following unsolved problem. How many components are there in F ( X ) up to 2-connectedness? In particular, let C k n , l be a simple closed k-curve with l elements in Z n and X : = C k n , l 1 C k n , l 2 be a digital wedge of C k n , l 1 and C k n , l 2 in Z n . Then we need to explore both the number of components of F ( X ) up to digital 2-connectivity (see Definition 4) and perfectness of F ( X ) (see Definition 5). The present paper addresses these issues and, furthermore, solves several problems related to the main issues. Indeed, it turns out that the three models C 2 n n , 4 , C 3 n 1 n , 4 , and C k n , 6 play important roles in studying these topics because the digital fundamental groups of them have strong relationships with alignments of fixed point sets of them. Moreover, we correct some errors stated by Boxer et al. in their recent work and improve them (see Remark 3). This approach can facilitate the studies of pure and applied topologies, digital geometry, mathematical morphology, and image processing and image classification in computer science. The present paper only deals with k-connected spaces in DTC. Moreover, we will mainly deal with a set X such that X 2 . Full article

In this paper, some new modified inertial-type multi-choice CQ-algorithms for approximating common fixed point of countable weakly relatively non-expansive mappings are presented in a real uniformly convex and uniformly smooth Banach space. New proof techniques are used to prove strong convergence theorems, which extend some previous work. The connection and application to maximal monotone operators are demonstrated. Numerical experiments are conducted to illustrate that the rate of convergence is accelerated compared to some previous ones for some special cases. Full article

The present paper is concerned with the Alexandroff one point compactification of the Marcus-Wyse (M-, for brevity) topological space ( Z 2 , γ ) . This compactification is called the infinite M-topological sphere and denoted by ( ( Z 2 ) , γ ) , where ( Z 2 ) : = Z 2 { } , Z 2 and γ is the topology for ( Z 2 ) induced by the topology γ on Z 2 . With the topological space ( ( Z 2 ) , γ ) , since any open set containing the point has the cardinality 0 , we call ( ( Z 2 ) , γ ) the infinite M-topological sphere. Indeed, in the fields of digital or computational topology or applied analysis, there is an unsolved problem as follows: Under what category does ( ( Z 2 ) , γ ) have the fixed point property (FPP, for short)? The present paper proves that ( ( Z 2 ) , γ ) has the FPP in the category M o p ( γ ) whose object is the only ( ( Z 2 ) , γ ) and morphisms are all continuous self-maps g of ( ( Z 2 ) , γ ) such that | g ( ( Z 2 ) ) | = 0 with g ( ( Z 2 ) ) or g ( ( Z 2 ) ) is a singleton. Since ( ( Z 2 ) , γ ) can be a model for a digital sphere derived from the M-topological space ( Z 2 , γ ) , it can play a crucial role in topology, digital geometry and applied sciences.

The paper firstly establishes the so-called n-times iterated connected sum of a simple closed k-surface in Z 3 , denoted by C k n , k { 6 , 18 , 26 } . Secondly, for a simple closed 18-surface M S S 18 , we prove that there are only two types of connected sums of it up to 18-isomorphism. Besides, given a simple closed 6-surface M S S 6 , we prove that only one type of M S S 6 M S S 6 exists up to 6-isomorphism, where ♯ means the digital connected sum operator. Thirdly, we prove the digital k-contractibility of C k n : = M S S k M S S k n - times , k { 18 , 26 } , which leads to the simply k-connectedness of C k n , k { 18 , 26 } , n N . Fourthly, we prove that C 6 2 and C k n do not have the almost fixed point property (AFPP, for short), k { 18 , 26 } . Finally, assume a closed k-surface S k ( Z 3 ) which is ( k , k ¯ ) -isomorphic to ( X , k ) in the picture ( Z 3 , k , k ¯ , X ) and the set X is symmetric according to each of x y -, y z -, and x z -planes of R 3 . Then we prove that S k does not have the AFPP. In this paper given a digital image ( X , k ) is assumed to be k-connected and its cardinality | X | 2 . Full article

Our paper is devoted to indicating a way of generalizing Mann’s iteration algorithm and a series of fixed point results in the framework of b-metric spaces. First, the concept of a convex b-metric space by means of a convex structure is introduced and Mann’s iteration algorithm is extended to this space. Next, by the help of Mann’s iteration scheme, strong convergence theorems for two types of contraction mappings in convex b-metric spaces are obtained. Some examples supporting our main results are also presented. Moreover, the problem of the T-stability of Mann’s iteration procedure for the above mappings in complete convex b-metric spaces is considered. As an application, we apply our main result to approximating the solution of the Fredholm linear integral equation. Full article

Given a Khalimsky (for short, K-) topological space X, the present paper examines if there are some relationships between the contractibility of X and the existence of the fixed point property of X. Based on a K-homotopy for K-topological spaces, we firstly prove that a K-homeomorphism preserves a K-homotopy between two K-continuous maps. Thus, we obtain that a K-homeomorphism preserves K-contractibility. Besides, the present paper proves that every simple closed K-curve in the n-dimensional K-topological space, S C K n , l , n 2 , l 4 , is not K-contractible. This feature plays an important role in fixed point theory for K-topological spaces. In addition, given a K-topological space X, after developing the notion of K-contractibility relative to each singleton { x } ( X ) , we firstly compare it with the concept of K-contractibility of X. Finally, we prove that the K-contractibility does not imply the K-contractibility relative to each singleton { x 0 } ( X ) . Furthermore, we deal with certain conjectures involving the (almost) fixed point property in the categories KTC and KAC, where KTC (see Section 3) (resp. KAC (see Section 5)) denotes the category of K-topological (resp. KA-) spaces, KA-) spaces are subgraphs of the connectedness graphs of the K-topology on Z n . Full article

The present paper studies the fixed point property (FPP) for closed k-surfaces. We also intensively study Euler characteristics of a closed k-surface and a connected sum of closed k-surfaces. Furthermore, we explore some relationships between the FPP and Euler characteristics of closed k-surfaces. After explaining how to define the Euler characteristic of a closed k-surface more precisely, we confirm a certain consistency of the Euler characteristic of a closed k-surface and a continuous analog of it. In proceeding with this work, for a simple closed k-surface in Z 3 , say S k , we can see that both the minimal 26-adjacency neighborhood of a point x S k , denoted by M k ( x ) , and the geometric realization of it in R 3 , denoted by D k ( x ) , play important roles in both digital surface theory and fixed point theory. Moreover, we prove that the simple closed 18-surfaces M S S 18 and M S S 18 do not have the almost fixed point property (AFPP). Consequently, we conclude that the triviality or the non-triviality of the Euler characteristics of simple closed k-surfaces have no relationships with the FPP in digital topology. Using this fact, we correct many errors in many papers written by L. Boxer et al. Full article

In this paper, we consider the recently introduced C A T p ( 0 ) , where the comparison triangles belong to p , for p 2 . We first establish an inequality in these nonlinear metric spaces. Then, we use it to prove the existence of fixed points of asymptotically nonexpansive mappings defined in C A T p ( 0 ) . Moreover, we discuss the behavior of the successive iteration introduced by Schu for these mappings in Banach spaces. In particular, we prove that the successive iteration generates an approximate fixed point sequence. Full article

The present paper deals with the issue. Based on order-theoretic foundations and fixed point theory for Khalimsky (K-, for short) topological spaces, the present paper studies the product property of the FPP for K-topological spaces. Furthermore, the paper investigates the FPP of various types of connected K-topological spaces such as non-K-retractable spaces and some points deleted K-topological (finite) planes, and so on. To be specific, after proving that not every one point deleted subspace of a finite K-topological plane X is a K-retract of X, we study the FPP of a non-retractable topological space Y, such as one point deleted space Y { p } .

In this paper, we focus on studying the split feasibility problem (SFP), which has many applications in signal processing and image reconstruction. A popular technique is to employ the iterative method which is so called the relaxed CQ algorithm. However, the speed of convergence usually depends on the way of selecting the step size of such algorithms. We aim to suggest a new hybrid CQ algorithm for the SFP by using the self adaptive and the line-search techniques. There is no computation on the inverse and the spectral radius of a matrix. We then prove the weak convergence theorem under mild conditions. Numerical experiments are included to illustrate its performance in compressed sensing. Some comparisons are also given to show the efficiency with other CQ methods in the literature. Full article

We have introduced the new notions of R-weakly graph preserving and R-weakly α -admissible pair of multivalued mappings which includes the class of graph preserving mappings, weak graph preserving mappings as well as α -admissible mappings of type S, α * -admissible mappings of type S and α * - orbital admissible mappings of type S respectively. Some generalized contraction and rational contraction classes are also introduced for a pair of multivalued mappings and common fixed point theorems are proved in a b-metric space endowed with a graph. We have also applied our results to obtain common fixed point theorems for R-weakly α -admissible pair of multivalued mappings in a b-metric space which are the proper extension and generalization of many known results. Proper examples are provided in support of our results. Our main results and its consequences improve, generalize and extend many known fixed point results existing in literature. Full article

In this paper, we introduce the ( C , Ψ * , G ) class of contraction mappings using C-class functions and some improved control functions for a pair of set valued mappings as well as a pair of single-valued mappings, and prove common fixed point theorems for such mappings in a metric space endowed with a graph. Our results unify and generalize many important fixed point results existing in literature. As an application of our main result, we have derived fixed point theorems for a pair of α -admissible set valued mappings in a metric space. Full article

Some new inertial forward-backward projection iterative algorithms are designed in a real Hilbert space. Under mild assumptions, some strong convergence theorems for common zero points of the sum of two kinds of infinitely many accretive mappings are proved. New projection sets are constructed which provide multiple choices of the iterative sequences. Some already existing iterative algorithms are demonstrated to be special cases of ours. Some inequalities of metric projection and real number sequences are widely used in the proof of the main results. The iterative algorithms have also been modified and extended from pure discussion on the sum of accretive mappings or pure study on variational inequalities to that for both, which complements the previous work. Moreover, the applications of the abstract results on nonlinear capillarity systems are exemplified. Full article

In this paper, the split variational inclusion problem (SVIP) and the system of equilibrium problems (EP) are considered in Hilbert spaces. Inspired by the works of Byrne et al., López et al., Moudafi and Thukur, Sobumt and Plubtieng, Sitthithakerngkiet et al. and Eslamian and Fakhri, a new self-adaptive step size algorithm is proposed to find a common element of the solution set of the problems SVIP and EP. Convergence theorems are established under suitable conditions for the algorithm and application to the common solution of the fixed point problem, and the split convex optimization problem is considered. Finally, the performances and computational experiments are presented and a comparison with the related algorithms is provided to illustrate the efficiency and applicability of our new algorithms.

The resolvent is a fundamental concept in studying various operator splitting algorithms. In this paper, we investigate the problem of computing the resolvent of compositions of operators with bounded linear operators. First, we discuss several explicit solutions of this resolvent operator by taking into account additional constraints on the linear operator. Second, we propose a fixed point approach for computing this resolvent operator in a general case. Based on the Krasnoselskii–Mann algorithm for finding fixed points of non-expansive operators, we prove the strong convergence of the sequence generated by the proposed algorithm. As a consequence, we obtain an effective iterative algorithm for solving the scaled proximity operator of a convex function composed by a linear operator, which has wide applications in image restoration and image reconstruction problems. Furthermore, we propose and study iterative algorithms for studying the resolvent operator of a finite sum of maximally monotone operators as well as the proximal operator of a finite sum of proper, lower semi-continuous convex functions.

The split feasibility problem models inverse problems arising from phase retrievals problems and intensity-modulated radiation therapy. For solving the split feasibility problem, Xu proposed a relaxed CQ algorithm that only involves projections onto half-spaces. In this paper, we use the dual variable to propose a new relaxed CQ iterative algorithm that generalizes Xu’s relaxed CQ algorithm in real Hilbert spaces. By using projections onto half-spaces instead of those onto closed convex sets, the proposed algorithm is implementable. Moreover, we present modified relaxed CQ algorithm with viscosity approximation method. Under suitable conditions, global weak and strong convergence of the proposed algorithms are proved. Some numerical experiments are also presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms. Our results improve and extend the corresponding results of Xu and some others. Full article

In this paper, we propose a new method, which is called the combination projection method (CPM), for solving the convex feasibility problem (CFP) of finding some x * C : = i = 1 m { x H | c i ( x ) 0 } , where m is a positive integer, H is a real Hilbert space, and { c i } i = 1 m are convex functions defined as H . The key of the CPM is that, for the current iterate x k , the CPM firstly constructs a new level set H k through a convex combination of some of { c i } i = 1 m in an appropriate way, and then updates the new iterate x k + 1 only by using the projection P H k . We also introduce the combination relaxation projection methods (CRPM) to project onto half-spaces to make CPM easily implementable. The simplicity and easy implementation are two advantages of our methods since only one projection is used in each iteration and the projections are also easy to calculate. The weak convergence theorems are proved and the numerical results show the advantages of our methods. Full article

Inequal. Appl., 2014, 2014, 38), our aim is to combine the aforementioned concepts in more general way for set valued and single valued mappings and to prove the existence of best proximity point results in the context of b-metric spaces. Endowing the concept of graph with b-metric space, we present some best proximity point results. Some concrete examples are presented to illustrate the obtained results. Moreover, we prove the existence of the solution of nonlinear fractional differential equation involving Caputo derivative. Presented results not only unify but also generalize several existing results on the topic in the corresponding literature. Full article
