Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Nonlinear analysis has wide and significant applications in many areas of mathematics, including functional analysis, variational analysis, nonlinear optimization, convex analysis, nonlinear ordinary and partial differential equations, and so forth. Fixed point theory is a very strong mathematical tool to establish the existence and uniqueness of almost all problems modelled by nonlinear relations. For about a century, fixed point theory has begun to take shape, and developed rapidly. Due to its applications, fixed point theory is highly appreciated and continues to be explored. Besides, fixed point theory can be applied in many types of spaces, such as soft metric spaces, random metric spaces and Sobolev spaces. This feature of fixed-point theory makes is very valuable in studying numerous problems of practical sciences modelled by fractional ordinary and partial differential and difference equations.

In this Special Issue, we will focus on the connection between nonlinear analysis and fixed-point theory as well as their applications to integrate basic science into the real world. We cordially and earnestly invite researchers to contribute their original and high-quality research papers which will inspire advances in nonlinear analysis, fixed point theory, and their applications. Potential topics include but are not limited to:

  • Functional analysis;
  • Fixed point, coincidence point, and best proximity point theory;
  • Critical point theory;
  • KKM theory;
  • Set-valued analysis;
  • Critical point theory;
  • Dynamical systems;
  • Soft theory;
  • Convex analysis;
  • Game theory;
  • Graph theory and optimization;

In this article, we develop a faster iteration method, called the A iteration method, for approximating the fixed points of almost contraction mappings and generalized α-nonexpansive mappings. We establish some weak and strong convergence results of the A iteration method for fixed points of generalized α-nonexpansive mappings in uniformly convex Banach spaces. We provide a numerical example to illustrate the efficiency of our new iteration method. The weak w2-stability result of the new iteration method is also studied. As an application of our main results, we approximate the solution of a fractional Volterra–Fredholm integro-differential equation. Our results improve and generalize several well-known results in the current literature. Full article

In this paper, the notion of θ*-weak contraction is introduced, which is utilized to prove some fixed point results. These results are helpful to give a positive response to certain open question raised by Kannan and Rhoades on the existence of contractive definition which does not force the mapping to be continuous at the fixed point. Some illustrative examples are also given to support our results. As applications of our result, we investigate the existence and uniqueness of a solution of non-linear matrix equations and integral equations of Volterra type as well. Full article
