Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This issue is a continuation of the previous successful Special Issue series.

The 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, 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 and articles that unify the different types of fixed-point theorems. 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.

This paper discusses the problem of the existence and uniqueness of solutions to the boundary value problem for the nonlinear fractional-order pantograph equation, using the fractional derivative of variable order of Hadamard type. The main results are proved through the application of fractional calculus and Krasnoselskii’s fixed-point theorem. Moreover, the Ulam–Hyers–Rassias stability of the nonlinear fractional pantograph equation is analyzed. To conclude this paper, we provide an example illustrating our findings and approach.

Recently, Ji et al. established certain fixed-point results using Mann’s iterative scheme tailored to Gb-metric spaces. Stimulated by the notion of the F-contraction introduced by Wardoski, the contraction condition of Ji et al. was generalized in this research. Several fixed-point results with Mann’s iterative scheme endowed with F-contractions in Gb-metric spaces were proven. One non-trivial example was elaborated to support the main theorem. Moreover, for application purposes, the existence of the solution to an integral equation is provided by using the axioms of the proven result. The obtained results are generalizations of several existing results in the literature. Furthermore, the results of Ji. et al. are the special case of theorems provided in the present research.

In this manuscript, we investigate some convergence and stability results for reckoning fixed points using a faster iterative scheme in a Banach space. Also, weak and strong convergence are discussed for close contraction mappings in a Banach space and for Suzuki generalized nonexpansive mapping in a uniformly convex Banach space. Our method opens the door to many expansions in the problems of monotone variational inequalities, image restoration, convex optimization, and split convex feasibility. Moreover, some experimental examples were conducted to gauge the usefulness and efficiency of the technique compared with the iterative methods in the literature. Finally, the proposed approach is applied to solve the nonlinear Volterra integral equation with a delay. Full article

Thispaper recognizes a general approach related to recent fixed point results about the classes of interpolative and hybrid contractions in metric space and general metric spaces. Considering auxiliary functions, so called Wardowski functions, and a rich set of implicit relations, we introduce types of (αvq,ϕ,F)contractions and rorder hybrid (αvq,ϕ,F)contractions in the setting of bmetric-like spaces. They generate and simplify many forms of contractions widely used in the literature. The resulting theorems significantly extend, generalize, and unify an excellent work on fixed point theory.

We establish a new fixed point theorem in the setting of convex b-metric spaces that ensures the existence of fixed point for Cirić contraction with the assumption k<1s2. Also, the fixed point is approximated by Krasnoselskij iterative procedure. Moreover, we discuss the stability of fixed point for the aforesaid contraction. As a consequence, we develop a common fixed point and coincidence point result. Finally, we provide a number of examples to illustrate the findings presented here and incorporate these findings to solve an initial value problem. Full article

We investigate fixed points for p cyclic maps by introducing a new notion of p–cyclic infimum summing maps and a generalized best proximity point for p–cyclic maps. The idea generalizes some results about best proximity points in order to widen the class of sets and maps for which we can ensure the existence and uniqueness of best proximity points. The replacement of the classical notions of best proximity points and distance between the consecutive set arises from the well-known group traveling salesman problem and presents a different approach to solving it. We illustrate the new result with a map that does not satisfy the known results about best proximity maps for p–cyclic maps. Full article

We develop several intriguing results and consequences for the existence of unique coupled fixed points. Further, we investigate a necessary condition that guarantees the well-posedness of a coupled fixed-point problem of self-mappings in Hilbert spaces. Some new observations proposed in this research broaden and extend previously published results in the literature. Full article

The fixed-circle issue is a geometric technique that is connected to the study of geometric characteristics of certain points, and that are fixed by the self-mapping of either the metric space or of the generalized space. The fixed-disc problem is a natural resultant that arises as a direct outcome of this problem. In this study, our goal is to examine new classes of self-mappings that meet a new particular sort of contraction in a metric space. The common geometrical characteristic of the set of fixed points of any element of these classes is that a circle or even a disc, that is either termed the fixed circle or even the fixed disc of the appropriate self-map, is included within that set. In order to accomplish this, we establish two new classifications of contraction mapping: Fc-contractive mapping and Fc-expanding mapping. In the investigation of neural networks, activation functions with either fixed circles (or even fixed discs) are observed frequently. This demonstrates how successful our results with the fixed-circle (respectively, the fixed-disc) model were. Full article

In this paper, the notion of generalized quasi-weakly contractive operators in metric-like spaces is introduced, and new conditions for the existence of fixed points for such mappings are investigated. A non-trivial example which highlights the novelty of our principal idea is constructed. It is observed comparatively that the proposed concepts herein subsume some important results in the corresponding literature. As an application, one of our obtained findings is utilized to setup novel criteria for the existence of solutions to two-point boundary value problems of a second order differential equation. To attract new researchers in the directions examined in this article, a significant number of corollaries are pointed out and discussed. Full article

Variational inequalities (VI) problems have been generalized and expanded in various ways. The VI principle has become a remarkable study area combining pure and applied research. The study of variational inequality in mathematics is significantly aided by providing an important framework by fixed-point theory. The concept of fixed-point theory can be considered an inherent component of the VI. We consider a mixed variational inequality (MVI) a useful generalization of a classical variational inequality. The projection method is not applicable to solve MVI due to the involvement of the nonlinear term ϕ. MVI is equivalent to fixed-point problems and the resolvent equation techniques. This technique is commonly used in the research on the existence of a solution to the MVI. This paper uses a new self-adaptive method using step size to modify the fixed-point formulation for solving the MVI. We will also provide the convergence of the proposed scheme. Our output could be seen as a significant refinement of the previously known results for MVI. A numerical example is also provided for the implementation of the generated algorithm. Full article
