Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Since the celebrated Brouwer’s fixed point theorem and Banach contraction principle were established, the rapid growth of fixed point theory and its applications during the past more than a hundred years have led to a number of scholarly essays that study the importance of its promotion and application in nonlinear analysis, applied mathematical analysis, economics, game theory, integral and differential equations and inclusions, dynamic systems theory, signal and image processing, and so forth. Many authors devoted their attention to investigating generalizations in various different directions of the well-known fixed point theorems. Recent important investigations and developments in fixed point theory have been focused on putting fundamental sciences into the real world.

Dynamical systems, developed initially from the work of Jay W. Forrester, focused on industrial dynamics. During the previous more than six decades, important contributions to the improvement of our understanding of the real world around us have been made in various domains, such as economics, financial markets, environment, human behavior, strategic decision-making, information and knowledge management, public policy, highway transportation networks, telecommunication networks, immunological systems, computational systems, and electrical and mechanical structures. About three decades ago, linear dynamics and chaos started to attract a lot of attention, and fruitful results appeared. Nowadays, dynamical systems have already been developed and applied by policy-makers, academicians, educators, and managers in many areas of natural sciences, social sciences, engineering, and mathematical sciences.

We cordially and earnestly invite researchers to contribute their original and high-quality research papers which will inspire advances in fixed point theory, dynamical systems, and their applications. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Fixed point theory in various abstract spaces with applications
  • Best proximity point theory in various abstract spaces with applications
  • Algorithms for fixed points and best proximity points
  • Nonlinear differential and integral equations via fixed point theory approaches
  • Optimization problems via fixed point theory approaches
  • Well-posedness and control in fixed point theory and dynamical systems
  • Nonlinear and linear dynamical systems
  • Advanced control systems
  • Nonlinear waves and acoustics
  • Image and signal processing
  • Biological systems and bioinformatics

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a new type of contraction called fuzzy F-contraction. As compared to the F-contraction in the existing literature, our fuzzy F-contraction is much simpler and more straightforward, since it contains only one condition—that is, the function F is strictly increasing. Moreover, some fixed-point theorems for fuzzy F-contraction are presented. Further, some examples are given to illustrate its validity and superiority. In addition, by applying a very significant lemma, we show that our proofs of most fixed-point theorems are shorter and more elegant than ones in the literature. Full article

The terms of Fintegral contraction as well as (ϖ,ζ˜,F,i)integral contraction are introduced. Fixed point and common fixed point theorems are established. For the mapping F we use only the supposition that it is strictly increasing. As a consequence of the main theorems we obtain Jungck–Wardowski, Branciari–Wardowski and Jungck–Branciari type results. Consequently, the results presented in the article enhance and complement some known results in literature. Full article

We study a new algorithm for the common solutions of a generalized variational inequality system and the fixed points of an asymptotically non-expansive mapping in Banach spaces. Under some specific assumptions imposed on the control parameters, some strong convergence theorems for the sequence generated by our new viscosity iterative scheme to approximate their common solutions are proved. As an application of our main results, we solve the standard constrained convex optimization problem. The results here generalize and improve some other authors’ recently corresponding results.

In this paper, we introduce and analyze several different notions of almost periodic type functions and uniformly recurrent type functions in Lebesgue spaces with variable exponent L p ( x ) . We primarily consider the Stepanov and Weyl classes of generalized almost periodic type functions and generalized uniformly recurrent type functions. We also investigate the invariance of generalized almost periodicity and generalized uniform recurrence with variable exponents under the actions of convolution products, providing also some illustrative applications to the abstract fractional differential inclusions in Banach spaces.

Chaotic systems with hidden attractors, infinite number of equilibrium points and different closed curve equilibrium have received much attention in the past six years. In this work, we introduce a new family of chaotic systems with different closed curve equilibrium. Using the methods of equilibrium points, phase portraits, maximal Lyapunov exponents, Kaplan–Yorke dimension, and eigenvalues, we analyze the dynamical properties of the proposed systems and extend the general knowledge of such systems.
