Weak factorizations of continuous set-valued mappings

Characterization of weak fixed point property for new class of set-valued nonexpansive mappings

In this paper, we introduce a new class of set-valued mappings which is called MD-type mappings. This class of mappings is a set-valued case of a class of the D-type mappings. The class of D-type mappings is a generalization of nonexpansive mappings that recently introduced by Kaewkhao and Sokhuma. The class of MD-type mappings includes upper semi-continuous Suzuki type mappings, upper semi-con...

On Multi-valued Weak Contraction Mappings

Received: December 21, 2010 Accepted: January 7, 2011 doi:10.5539/jmr.v3n2p151 Abstract In this paper, we study fixed point theorems for multi-valued weak contractions. We show that the Picard projection iteration converges to a fixed point, give a rate of convergence and generalize Collage theorem. This work includes results on multi-valued contraction mappings studied by (Kunze, H.E., La Torr...

Weighted Variational Inequalities with Set-valued Mappings

Because of their applications in economics, game theory, mathematical physics, operations research and other areas, many classes of vector variational inequalities were intensively studied. For existence of solutions, resolution methods or equivalence with equilibrium and optimization problems see, for example, [11], [14], [15], [19], [17] and the references therein. For the study of variationa...

A Sard Theorem for Set-Valued Mappings∗†

If F is a set-valued mapping from IRn into IRm with closed graph, then y ∈ IRm is a critical value of F if for some x with y ∈ F (x), F is not metrically regular at (x, y). We prove that the set of critical values of a set-valued mapping whose graph is a definable (tame) set in an o-minimal structure containing additions and multiplications is a set of dimension not greater than m − 1 (resp. a ...
