Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Over more than eight decades, the fascinating fixed point theory has increased the importance of contribution to improve our understanding of the real world around us in various fields about symmetry and asymmetry, such as linear and nonlinear analysis, symmetric and asymmetric optimization, differential equations and inclusions, economics, game theory, dynamic system theory, signal and image processing, and so forth. Over the last half a century, rapid developments in computational analysis and its applications have contributed greatly to immunological systems, computational systems, electrical and mechanical structures, financial markets, information and knowledge management, highway transportation networks, telecommunication networks and so on.

This Special Issue will pay more attention to the new originality of fixed point theory and computational analysis and their applications in integrating basic science into the real world, covering the widest range of symmetry and asymmetry. We cordially and earnestly invite researchers to contribute their original and high-quality research papers which will inspire advances in fixed point theory, computational analysis and their applications. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Symmetry and asymmetry in fixed point theory with applications
  • Symmetry and asymmetry in best proximity point theory with applications
  • Symmetry and asymmetry in numerical algorithms

Abstract
We present a new Jarratt-type family of optimal fourth- and sixth-order iterative methods for solving nonlinear equations, along with their convergence properties. The schemes are extended to nonlinear systems of equations with equal convergence order. The stability properties of the vectorial schemes are [...] Read more.
We present a new Jarratt-type family of optimal fourth- and sixth-order iterative methods for solving nonlinear equations, along with their convergence properties. The schemes are extended to nonlinear systems of equations with equal convergence order. The stability properties of the vectorial schemes are analyzed, showing their symmetric wide sets of converging initial guesses. To illustrate the applicability of our methods for the multidimensional case, we choose some real world problems such as kinematic syntheses, boundary value problems, Fisher’s and Hammerstein’s integrals, etc. Numerical comparisons are given to show the performance of our schemes, compared with the existing efficient methods.

The purpose of this paper is to develop coupled fixed point theorems by C-class functions with mixed monotonicity, discuss the existence of the coupled fixed point of two mappings and obtain a coupled coincidence point theorem via inverse Ck-class functions in partially ordered H-metric spaces. This improves the existing results. In addition, some instances and an application are given to illustrate the usability and validity of the results. Full article

Abstract
In this article, we introduce a new inertial multi-step regularized generalized Popov’s extra-gradient method to solve the hierarchical variational inequality problem (HVIP). We extend the previous Lipschitzian and strongly monotone mapping to a hemicontinuous, generalized Lipschitzian and strongly monotone mapping. We also obtain [...] Read more.
In this article, we introduce a new inertial multi-step regularized generalized Popov’s extra-gradient method to solve the hierarchical variational inequality problem (HVIP). We extend the previous Lipschitzian and strongly monotone mapping to a hemicontinuous, generalized Lipschitzian and strongly monotone mapping. We also obtain a strong convergence theorem about the new Popov’s algorithm. Furthermore, we utilize some numerical experiments to highlight the feasibility and effectiveness of our method.

Incomplete Cauchy-type problems are considered for linear multi-term equations solved with respect to the highest derivative in Banach spaces with fractional Riemann–Liouville derivatives and with linear closed operators at them. Some new existence and uniqueness theorems for solutions are presented explicitly and the analyticity of the solutions of the homogeneous equations are also shown. The asymmetry of the Cauchy-type problem under study is expressed in the presence of a so-called defect, which shows the number of lower-order initial conditions that should not be set when setting the problem. As applications, our abstract results are used in the study of a class of initial-boundary value problems for multi-term equations with Riemann–Liouville derivatives in time and with polynomials of a self-adjoint elliptic differential operator with respect to spatial variables.
